I am indeed sorry for my false accusation concerning the analog audio track of this song in your first video being replaced with a digital one. This was my mistake so now I will follow up with a compliment. You did an excellent job editing your first video and proving why I was wrong in your second. You are a man of 'YouTube' integrity.
Just one question; what type of phono cartridge is mounted in your Garrard, ceramic or magnetic? Due to the excellent sound quality I suspect magnetic. Another reason I suspected digital fraud is that there is virtually no surface noise or turntable motor hum present in the audio track of your first video. This is quite unusual.
If you wish me to remove this video I will do so...Just say the word?
The Ultra 6014 has the Ceramic BSR SC 12m cartridge it was made with in 1968.
I have just all the transistors as it had a terrible hiss the capacitors are fine and that it what cause a mains hum...I also changed the stylus about a month ago.
The Dynatron has never had any work and the cartridge was replaced for an SC12h before I was given it in 1978...Continued
@GarrardAT6 Continued....Even at full volume the Dynatron is totally silent...A good sharp new stylus makes a hell of a difference!
I also have another 22 vintage record players which I am restoring one at a time...The earliest is a Teppaz Presense from 1955...Just waiting on a replacement flip over cartridge to be delivered.
Hum is always due to bad smoothing capacitors and hiss is bad transistors...Valve amps never hiss...haha!!!
I'll be making more videos of them all when I get time :)
@GarrardAT6 Maybe the amp in your Dynatron is of much higher quality as to compensate for the poor quality output of the typical ceramic cartridge. I don't believe Dynatron was ever available in the US. Did you use any sort of sound filter option in your Audacity software while transferring the audio? I am familiar with this model Garrard turntable, it is idler wheel not belt driven correct? It's extremely quiet - nearly no motor hum which would be distinct from amplifier hum.
@ShitFromShinolla The Dynatron really does run silent and yes you are correct it is driven by an idler wheel under the turntable...All the table top decks I have are the same...As long as the idler wheel or (jockey wheel) as we call it is not perished or shiny they are fine! I use NO filters at all on Audacity...You can hear that these decks run silent from the audio on my camera. Although the Ultra does make a noise like a quiet V8 running for the first few mins when very cold...haha!!!
@GarrardAT6 I don't think you should remove this video because you can use it as a response to other critics who might stroll past your 1st video thinking what I thought. Most 60's table top record player models marketed in the US were not of this quality. From my experience BSR ceramic cartridges even with a new stylus sound awful. They are often mounted on low-end BSR turntables that always run fast and matched with low-end amplifiers as well.
@ShitFromShinolla Ok...I'll leave it up...But I've changed the title :)
Don't start me on running fast! I have a dispute going with the power company over here now!
The reason some run fast is because they were made for 50HZ mains (60HZ) for you.
Our power now seems to be 52HZ and the BSR and Monarch decks suffer the most!
I have no problem with BSR cartridges though...They seem to play the older records much better than modern ones (for me) All 3 of these records are in 'as new' condition :)
@GarrardAT6 Continued...If you find a deck that runs fast there is little or nothing you can do!
But if you try using the ones that seem to run fast on a mains power inverter I'm sure you will find as I do that they play at the correct speed!! Its not their fault that modern electricity does them no good..Poor old things...haha!!
@GarrardAT6 Garrard turntables run at correct RPM but BSR's do not. I usually correct the BSR speed problem by filing down the motor shaft and reducing it's diameter. It is a tedious process because it requires constant strobe testing. If the circumference of the shaft is reduced too much the platter will run too slow and that can't be corrected. : )
@ShitFromShinolla I have considered doing the same as I have a small lathe...But decided trying it on the idler pulley instead on one of my BSR decks...I have plenty of spare idlers...It did the job though...But did take ages to do!! If you have a scope and inverter try measuring your mains power and try running one on an inverter...I'm sure you'll be surprised!!!
Awsome 5/5 from me not a flaw..in my opinion.

@727JeffN Thanks Jeff...As we all know none of your decks work and all your audio is from iTunes....hahaha!!! :)
Of course I'm joking...You are the King of Capture and my Mentor!!! Happy Christmas!!! :)
