Review on 🎢 ION Audio Photon LP: Lighted Turntable with Multi-Color LEDs, USB Conversion, Diamond-Tipped Stylus - 3-Speed Option by Frank Dubey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Rugged, Great Sounding Turntable

It was a great time for the nostalgic to spin vinyl. I have a very limited collection but I like my old music like Elvis Presley, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, The Beatles and The Doors. This is a very easy to use player. On the back there is a power button, a USB output, RCA jacks and a power adapter connection. It plays 33 rpm vinyl records and full-size 45" vinyl records (with included adapter). If you buy a separate needle it can play 78 seconds (which I don't have). Setup is easy. Unpack it, remove the needle cover, turn on the auto stop, choose the playback speed and connect the player to the receiver or speakers. I have an RCA adapter for one of my speakers so it plugs directly into it. It can also be connected to a Windows or Mac OS computer via a USB cable. There is software that will convert your vinyl into audio files, but I prefer to listen to my records on my regular stereo. The lever has a soft feel and moves smoothly across the vinyl. The sound quality is excellent. When the recording ends, the player will stop automatically. Below the rotating disk is a series of constantly changing LEDs. They cannot be turned off and are easy to ignore after a while. There is a transparent plastic cover that protects the turntable. Body and housing are made of attractive white plastic. If your vinyl or 45" records aren't playing properly, the player can be adjusted. I didn't have to. It's a solid system for listening to music or turning your old collection into digital.

Pros

Cons
