I have a crosley record player but there is a high pitch tone if I get a better needle will that help with the sound? The tuner adjustment button and volume really doesn't help the super high pitc

I got this a least 10 years ago and I noticed this high pitched sound the first day I played it. When I adjust the tone button it doesn't go away and the result is I can't turn up the volume to high..I was wondering if the needle had something to do with the quality of the sound and the tone. Thank you debbie

Not at all in this case. You either have a loose wire to connections to the cartridge, which can be fixed by hand. Just push the wires on to the cartridge. Or you have a fault in the power supply of the deck. Most likely a mains filter capacitor that is letting the 50hz mains hum in.

The hum will either be caused by a poor earth connection or a power supply problem. The stylus would not cause any hum at all.

SOURCE: crosley turntable recording volume is too low

You need a phono preamp for it to work correctly. See this link:

SOURCE: One of my technics' 1200 turntable's tone gets too high

before you try doing all this work to it you should just check your software. Im guessing that your using scratch live. If you are then chances are that your pitch lock might not be on, on whichever deck you have the problems with. try that first before u waist money trying to fix it.

How to adjust speed the record player back to normal on top my Crosley McQueen stereo?

It sounds like the belt driving the unit might be out of place or connected wrong. It could be the belt is slipping caused by wear and thus needs replacing.

Hi there, i have just bought a record player on ebay which looked very genuine but the needle seems to slide across every record that i have tried, would it be that the needle is blunt or is there a...

Chances are it was sold with a faulty stylus. The only other thing to try is to increase the weight at the end of the tone arm. It might have numbers on, turn it up in stages to see if that solves it

Sound problem with recorded video.

Check your sound properties. It is probably defaulted to a low setting. Try raising the setting to one that says DVD quality and see if that fixes your problem. Hope this helps.

Tone arm retracts before recording is complete (CR-245)

actual old units (not sure about modern nostalgics) sometimes had a lever that said 7 or 12 inches for 45's or 33's this would tell the mechanism when to set down the arm. If your unit does not have something like this then it sounds like an internal failure that would require it being opened by a tech or sent in for warranty repair.

Needle slides across the record on Crosley 5 in 1 player

you have unscrewed the suspension screw?

also check the needle for dirt and dust... try blue tacking a 5p coin to the top on the needle to give it a little more weight, if the needle stays in place then the arm balance if off, and unless there is a mechanism to adjust that on this turntable then i guess its a return!
