Review on Vintage Bluetooth Turntable: 2-Speed Record Player with Built-in Speaker, 6 Lighting Modes, Compatible with 7/10/12 inch Vinyl Records, RCA Equipped (Red Wood) by Marcus Hargrave

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good entry level turntable

I chose this from many offerings from Crosley as a gift for my daughter and son in law. Neither of them are audiophiles, but they do have a desire to "play" records. I'm an audio professional and based my decisions on what I saw here. This is a turntable, not a serious audio device, for people who are not music lovers but expect a satisfying listening experience. It covers it. It offers a better tonearm than any Crosley or other cheap ones and a magnetic (MM) cartridge (Audio Technica AT3600). It also has an RIAA EQ curve to match, so recordings sound good instead of thin and harsh. Before I give it away, I tested it extensively. It was a little fast at first, but soon settled down. I opened it up and saw that the internal speakers were covered to ensure minimal isolation. If the volume is turned up too loud, feedback still occurs, but this is not a problem if the listening volume is good. It can also be connected to traditional stereo or amplified speakers. vinyl records (tracks approx. 3 grams) and is a good device for beginners on a budget or as a gift for a beginner. I've been listening to a few albums from my 'B' section. Pretty exciting for what it is.

Pros
  • Turntable
Cons
