My Uncle's Marantz stereo and Garrard turntable.

[201mercedes]

marantz are good goods!

[ninjabluewings]

Garrard Made Some Beautiful Turntables Way Back When Hi-Fi Was REAL HI-FI! Not The COMPLETE TRASH! They Pass Off As True Hi-Fi These Days, That Marantz Receiver Is Pretty Tasty Too. Talking Heads Are So Cool, David Byrne Is One AWESOME ARTIST! But Highly Underrated In The UK Sadly But I Can See He's Awesome

i just gave away to a church resale shop a garrard turntable and a sony and a sansui stereo. they are good machines but i'm putting all my records on my computer. have fun.

[AufzuegeUndMehrAG]

what song ist the first?

[googlyguy]

@3:57 Athens District Spelling Bee.

Your uncle is quite a character.

[Ziplock74]

where's the tape player man?

[AudiophileTubes]

Nice! Many older, classic stereo receivers like Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz, and Fisher had incredible build quality and sound. They are sought after collector's items now. Thanks for sharing.

[GameICY]

Should have flipped through his vinyl while playing. I mainly run Marantz 4240 +4 with Ar2a's that sound & look amazing in oiled walnut.

[zinger52]

Wow Gerrard turntable I can remember one required a fair amount of strength of the index finger to bring the needle to the vinyl but had auto return so that was blessing. In those days manual skill was a must haha

[WheelofFortuneFan91]

Your uncle knows how to mix and match older and newer components to make an awesome sound system.

i have sadly given in to the digital age, but every once in a while i will pop in a record and listen to something on my 1988 polk audio monitors =)

[AudiophileTubes]

I have Polk 'Monitor 10' speakers. They absolutely BLOW AWAY anything digital I have heard via iPOD, Zune, Sansa, etc, with ear buds and headphones. I love digital MP3 as well, but the sound isn't nearly as good as a good turntable, or HDCD, XRCD, or SACD.

[951258tike22]

E-P-I-C fail. you cannot replicate the beauty of this equipment with digital audio

[mygaffer]

He isn't so much showing off the sound, that would be like expecting to show off your LCD's great color gamut through a youtube video, you are limited by your recording device and the end listener's output device. Instead he is showing off the various components and how well matches they are.

[Lachlant1984]

What record are you playing? I really like the intro to the song on the record, it's awesome.

[ourvinylcollection]

Band: The Talking Heads

Song: New Feeling

I love the heads. :-D

@CassetteMaster

It's kind of amazing to me that an early 60's turntable delivers an output for a far newer receiver... It didn't make sense to me at first, because when I was a kid I listened to a lot of those old Garrards and they sounded like awful... Obviously they weren't attached to good receivers... This one sounds awesome...

By the way, what type of cartridge is used by this turntable?

[CassetteMaster]

I don't know the model, but I think it's made by Shure. I think it's red and black in color.

[grod75]

Thanks man... Actually I meant to ask if it was ceramic or magnetic... By your response I assume it's magnetic :)

You have some interesting items in your collection, great work!!!

[wooferfreak]

why was he doin sound effects

[CassetteMaster]

To be funny!

[wooferfreak]

What waz he saying lol

[CassetteMaster]

"Diggy Diggy Diggy...."!!

[zvukgame]

Cool sound to small speakers !

Awesome !

[MarkPMus]

Good system, but speakers would sound much tighter if they were placed on dedicated stands, instead of a cupboard!

[bbishoppcm]

Is that a BSR turntable?

[CassetteMaster]

Garrard.

[spatsbear2]

He has a very nice setup :)

[aldiakaroofus]

May we see his records one by one in a future video?

[CassetteMaster]

If I did that, it would be quite a while from now, as I got home yesterday.

[aldiakaroofus]

No hurry. :)

[wilkes85]

Oh no don't let SamuraiClinton see you showing a radio in your video, because he believes that anyone who listens to the radio is trash, and will fill your channel with bullshit comments about how MP3 is his Lord and Saviour.

I've seen the shit he says. All you do is show a radio in your video, and he goes insane, ranting and raving, and when you object to his hissy fit, he screams about how he's not the one who started the war, and doesn't want to fight, when he's the shit-stirrer.

[CassetteMaster]

I had just looked at a couple comments by him and his friend a few minutes ago!

[wooferfreak]

Oh I know Because hes done it to me i feel like reblocking him dont let KittySlasher69 either because hes freinds with SamuraiClinton

just delete there comment or if they fill ur vids with there rubbish stuff i have the solution--JUST BLOCK EM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fuji086]

@wooferfreak I am going to sound really stupid but, what did KittySlasher69 and SamuraiClinton do?

[itscool1968]

he needs to restrip those wires you got 6 inches of bare wire out side the clips that shoudent be

[wooferfreak]

those speakers are made by PEL Music

[tubeie07]

Yep love that Turntable! Great video Ricky!

[AMD1]

do you know any of the specs on his cartridge?

[CassetteMaster]

No, but I think it's made by Shure.

[raymondleeleggs]

Awesome!

[steviebboy69]

your uncle has some nice equipment there. you must get on with him really well.

[mariopica]

Say thank you to your uncle.Very cool stereo.

[damusician]

Nice rig and I love that Garrard! The turntable is a Garrard Lab Series Type A. It was made probably late 1963 or early 1964. I have an Allied catalog from March 31, 1964 and that same turntable is in there. Also the Youtuber Chromebumper has that same model in his Dumont stereo console, but the baseplate is gray and white.

[damusician]

Also, that turntable is one of Garrard's high-end model of that time period.

[Trance88]

Your uncle has a nice stereo! I would love to have that turntable!
