Review on 🎡 Crosley CR6010A-RE Collegiate USB Turntable with Ripping and Editing Software for Audio, Red & Cream by Justin Jeppi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great looks, good product, fantastic sound; however distorted disappointingly

Let me start by saying that I am an avid record collector with experience of many different turntables, having owned several over the years. However, when I received the item, it played vinyl perfectly with no issues, plus it sounded fantastic; however, after a week or two, a very annoying distant hum could be heard that would not stop while the record was playing, or even stalled until simply turned on. I believe this was due to an issue with the turntable's balance mechanism, because when I put a quarter between the balance mechanism and the platter itself, the mechanism could be displaced/mixed up (also a quality issue), the hum stopped. . For the price the turntable looks fantastic, very nostalgic, with great color gamut. The auto-shutoff feature when the end of recording is reached is a nice touch that many other players lack, and the audio is amazing for the miniature size of the item. Pros: - Great looking, very slim - Detachable hard case with fold-down dust jacket - Sound is fantastic, delivering clean and accurate audio - Solid hardware - Good price Cons: - Equalizing mechanism is loose, tends to distort the sound of the recording
