Overview

Turntable Player Accessories Kit

Turntable Player Accessories Kit

Each tool inside this comprehensive collection has been carefully selected and crafted to meet the highest standards of functionality and reliability. Whether you're setting up a new turntable or fine-tuning your cherished system, this kit provides you with every essential tool needed. From precise adjustments to thorough cleaning, this kit ensures your turntable performs at its best.

Nylon Record Cleaning Brush

The nylon record cleaning brush is designed to gently and effectively clean your vinyl records. It features a row of soft, fine nylon bristles that are adept at picking up and removing dust, dirt, and other particulates from the grooves of a record. The design of the brush allows it to delicately sweep across the record's surface without scratching or causing any damage to the delicate vinyl.

To use the brush, hold it over the surface of the record as it spins on the turntable, allowing the bristles to gently skim over the grooves. The action of the bristles dislodges and removes dust particles, ensuring a cleaner surface that can result in improved audio clarity and longevity of the record.

Stylus Force Gauge

The stylus force gauge is used to measure the amount of pressure exerted by a turntable's stylus onto a vinyl record. This tool is crucial for setting up and maintaining a turntable, as the correct tracking force is vital for optimal sound quality and the longevity of both the stylus and records.

To use the gauge, place it on the turntable's platter and lower the stylus onto it. The gauge then measures the force where the stylus makes contact so you can adjust the counterweight. This measurement is crucial as too much force can damage the vinyl's grooves and the stylus itself, while too little force can lead to poor audio quality, with the stylus not properly tracking the grooves of the record.

Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) Adjuster

The VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) gauge is a specialized tool used in the precise setup and calibration of a turntable, specifically for measuring the vertical tracking angle of the tonearm and cartridge assembly.

Using the VTA gauge involves placing it on the turntable platter along with a calibration record or a standard record. The gauge usually has a marked scale or a specific indicator that allows the user to measure the tonearm height relative to the platter. By adjusting the tonearm height (either by raising or lowering the tonearm base or through other means provided by the turntable), one can ensure that the tonearm is at the correct angle.

Cartridge Alignment Protractor

The cartridge alignment protractor is used in setting up and calibrating turntables, specifically for the precise alignment of the phono cartridge. Proper alignment of the cartridge is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent unnecessary wear on both the stylus and the vinyl records.

Stylus Brush

The stylus brush is a small, specialized tool designed for cleaning the stylus (or needle) of a turntable. Over time, dust, debris, and residue can accumulate on the stylus, potentially degrading sound quality and causing wear both to the stylus and the record grooves.

Gently place the brush at the rear of the stylus (the end that connects to the cartridge) and lightly brush towards the front (the tip) of the stylus. It's important to do this in a frontward motion and not side to side, as lateral movements can bend or damage the delicate stylus.

Bubble Level Gauges

Round bubble levels are tools used to ensure your turntable surfaces are perfectly level. They are particularly useful in setting up turntables, as having a level turntable is crucial for optimal playback quality and to prevent record and stylus wear.

Start by placing the large round bubble level on the turntable's platter. Observe where the bubble in the level sits. Ideally, the bubble should be centered within the marked lines or circle on the level. Do the same with the small bubble levels, but placed in the corners of the plinth. If the bubbles are not centered, adjust the feet (or base) of the turntable until the bubble rests in the center of the level.
