21st Century Vinyl: Michael Fremer's Practical Guide to Turntable Set-Up

Turntable setup's never been so easy - and fun!

A three-hour, dual-layer Region Free DVD with step-by-step, setup instruction.

DVD works in all countries

For almost three hours, Fremer covers each step of turntable setup. Specifically, he tackles a Pro-Ject RM-5, a Rega P5 and a VPI Scoutmaster. From those, Fremer believes any viewer can set up any turntable. The disc's running time is just under three hours and contains a PDF file with additional setup details, including tonearm/cartridge matching and VTA adjustment. There will be simple animation and graphics to illustrate certain points. Fremer takes you as far back in the chain as the actual record cutting with interviews of George Marino, Senior Mastering Engineer at Sterling Sound in NYC.

The DVD is sure to be of valuable functional service to many audiophiles  just getting into vinyl playback, and to remind us with Michael's pep talk on its wonders that it really is a terrific format that has not died out by any means.

It provides easy-to-follow, practical advice for obtaining the tools and knowledge necessary to complete competent setup of most turntables…a resource that will allow many to recapture the hands-on nature of this hobby and have their record-spinners making fine music in no time
