Review on 🎡 Crosley 1975T Turntable System with Bluetooth, CD, AM/FM, Walnut Finish, and Free Speakers by Johnathan Delgado

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I love it, so can you, but it's hard.

Right there - my machine sounds good. This particular model from the Crosley line weighs 3.5 grams which will NOT ruin your vinyl. It uses an Audio Technica stylus, which sounds great for the average person and at least "reasonable" for the audiophile. FM/AM radio works great. Bluetooth connectivity is great. I haven't tested the AUX jack or the CD player at the moment but I will soon and I will 100% update this review if I run into any issues with any of them. For all that, mine came with a loose transport screw. The turntable assembly, fixed in such a way that it must not be affected by vibrations in the room or on your shelf, could swing freely during transport, which is exactly what the transport locking screw prevents. I can't tell if it did any specific damage because mine ended up working fine, but maybe more severe damage could be done to someone else. To do this, the player assembly has been properly balanced/aligned. Whether it's shipping damage or just construction, I need to tighten the shipping lock screw a bit to balance the turntable assembly. This prevents the disc from scratching the top of the unit, which is one of the most common complaints I've seen. Maybe tightening this screw a little could help these people too? It's worth noting that this screw is left-hand threaded - clockwise turns loosen the screw and allow the platter to float freely on the bumper, while anti-clockwise tightening tightens it to keep it stable for delivery. In short: it works great for me. Vinyl sounds good on it. Radio and Bluetooth sound good. The speakers are loud enough to fill an entire room or hear audio from the next room. Maybe the shipping and handling team needs some improvement, but when your car gets to you undamaged, you'll love it. And if it's damaged, Revain or Crosley should take good care of you. A good product. Rough shipping experience but my device is fine.
