Record Player and Stereo Setup Workshop In-Person

There's a reason vinyl never went away. The warmth, the ritual, the physicality of dropping a needle on a record, it offers something streaming simply can't replicate. But getting the most out of a turntable setup takes more than just hitting play. Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly workshop covering everything you need to know to set up and enjoy a quality analog listening experience. We'll walk through the anatomy of a turntable and stereo system, discuss how to choose and position equipment, and cover the basics of proper record care and playback. We'll also go hands-on with basic repair techniques for speakers and turntables, so when something goes wrong, you'll know where to start. Whether you're dusting off an old family record player or thinking about getting into vinyl for the first time, this workshop will give you the confidence to get it sounding its best.
This event is free and open to the UO community.
