"This is a must have disc for any vinyl fan at any level of accomplishment. A hearty well done, Michael," raves Greg Weaver in Issue 26 of Positive Feedback Online.

"Michael Fremer has produced 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," reports Bill Brooks in the August 2006 issue of SoundStage!

"The DVD is sure to be of valuable functional service to many audio buffs 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," reports John Sunier in his July 2006 online review for Audiophile Audition."Veterans can pick up some pointers too."

"It's Awesome!"

Glowing emails about Michael's DVD have started pouring in. "It's awesome," remarks Bob Weston, well-known recording engineer, record producer, and bass player in Steve Albini's band Shellac.

"Before I watched your DVD I have to admit I was hopeless at setting up my turntable, needing to call my dealer to the rescue when something went amiss," reports an audiophile in Antwerp. "Your DVD has been a godsend, thanks for making it!"

Loaded with Hints and Features

The DVD includes detailed set-up procedures for Pro-Ject RM-5 (RPM-5 outside the USA), Rega P5, and VPI Scoutmaster 'tables. A bonus interview with mastering engineer George Marino features a fascinating tour of Sterling Sound's Neumann cutting lathe system.

A detailed PDF file included in DVD-ROM section of disc features even more information and set-up tips. Total disc running time is approximately three hours.

"Loaded with clear and easy to understand instructions which fully cover three different levels of turntable setup (good, better, best), this is the perfect instructional disc to allow any vinyl fan to lose that last excuse or overcome any remaining fears about changing cartridges and setting up and maintaining their own turntable."

"Michael walks the adventurous analog lover through the step-by-step set up process with a Pro-Ject RM 5, a Rega P5 and a VPI Scoutmaster. His affable sense of humor, combined with his vast knowledge on the subject, often merge to make these video primers as entertaining to watch, as they are instructional."

"21st Century Vinyl: Michael Fremer’s Practical Guide to Turntable Set-Up is a product that should have been around long before August 2006. It provides easy-to-follow, practical advice for obtaining the tools and knowledge necessary to complete competent setup of most turntables. The world is still filled with many technicians capable of providing excellent service when it comes to setting up analog gear. I don’t believe a person needs to worry about being at the 'mercy of a stranger' if he or she doesn’t want to attempt the job. That said, Michael Fremer has produced 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. DIY? Go for it."
