🎶 Top Misconceptions About Vinyl, Turntables, and Stereo Gear
Hey everyone – Kevin here from Skylabs Audio, and in this week’s video, we’re clearing up some of the biggest myths and misconceptions we hear daily at the shop about vinyl records, turntables, and vintage stereo equipment.
Whether you're new to the hobby or a lifelong audiophile, chances are you’ve heard (or maybe even said!) a few of these things yourself. No judgment — we’ve all been there!
🛠️ In This Video, We Cover:
✅ “Vinyl always sounds better than digital” – Truth? It depends.
✅ “They don’t make stereo equipment like they used to” – They actually do!
✅ “More watts = better sound” – Let’s talk real-world listening.
✅ “Belt-drive or nothing” – Or is direct-drive okay too?
✅ “Aren’t you worried about running out of vintage gear?” – Not even close!
✅ And one final misconception about me (Kevin), and why I’m just a lifelong hobbyist sharing what I see in the shop every day.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about asking a question in the audio community, this video is for you. We're here to learn together, and your curiosity is always welcome here.
