Record Stabilizer for Multiple Vinyl Sizes

In some embodiments, a record stabilizer is configured to fit both common size spindle holes (e.g., as commonly found in 12″ singles or LPs) and larger hole types (e.g., as commonly found in 7″ 45 rpm singles, typically referred to as “45s”). In some embodiments, the stabilizer achieves this functionality using one side that is substantially flat (for common size spindle holes) and another side with a built-in adapter to protrude into larger spindle holes. In some embodiments, the record stabilizer also serves as an adapter, e.g., allowing 45s to be played on turntables with common size spindles without using any other adapter.

Hybrid turntable

The hybrid turntable is capable of playing both digital media and vinyl record discs. A turntable includes a motorized platter and an independently rotating spindle. The rotation of the platter and spindle is independently rotatable. A interface control disc is connectable to the spindle to controllable rotate it. An adapter may be used to facilitate connection of the interface control disc to the spindle. The rotational position of the platter and the spindle is used for processing digital media to provide a digital audio output signal to generate a digitally simulated scratch type musical performance. Alternatively, a vinyl record disc can be positioned on the platter and about the spindle without connecting directly to the spindle. A tone arm is also be provided to communicate with the vinyl record disc to provide an analog phono audio output signal. An analog actual scratch type performance or normal phonographic playback is possible using the tone arm and vinyl record disc. A digital audio output signal and analog phono audio output can be selectively played back using the same turntable.

Turntable with vertically adjustable platter

A turntable that has a platter that can be vertically positioned so that the VTA between the stylus of the cartridge and the record can be easily adjusted without tweaking or touching the tone arm. The turntable includes a base, a platter, a spindle assembly configured to position the platter above the base, and a spindle adjustment mechanism configured to selectively position the vertical position of the platter with respect to the base. In one embodiment, the spindle adjustment mechanism includes a drive shaft that is configured to engage the spindle assembly and to selectively drive the spindle assembly up or down. As the spindle assembly is moved up and down, the platter moves up and down with respect to the base. In another embodiment, the spindle assembly includes a spindle shaft configured to rotate inside a chamber of the spindle assembly. A bolt which attached to the spindle shaft is configured to move up and down when the spindle shaft is rotated. The platter, which supported by a ball bearing resting on the bolt, moves up and down with the bolt as the spindle shaft is rotated. With either embodiment, a remote control unit or a mechanical crank can be used to move the platter up or down with respect to base to adjust the VTA without touching or tweaking the tone arm.

Electric arm lifting and turntable's auto-stop assembly of record player

An electric arm lifting and turntable's auto-stop assembly of a record player is revealed. A record player is disposed with a power-driven turntable, a rotatable and movable arm disposed on one side of the turntable, a lift mechanism used for pushing against and moving the arm upward, and a sensor. The arm is moveable over the turntable. The sensor is arranged at an arm rotating shaft of the arm and used for sending a signal while detecting that the arm is moved to a lift point over the turntable. The lift mechanism is activated to move the arm upward and the turntable is stopped simultaneously for protecting a needle on the arm while the sensor detects that the arm has been moved from the turntable to the lift point.

Turntable

An improved turntable is described with inherent properties for reducing noise generated by external sources or by the parts of the turntable. The plinth of the turntable is comprised of an elastomeric layer and at least one stiffening layer that adds rigidity to the plinth. The support feet, spindle bearing, and armboard only come into contact with the elastomeric layer, which dampens energy, allowing the turntable produce the audio on the record without excessive noise.
