Review on Pyle Home PTCDS5U Vintage Turntable: Versatile CD/Cassette/Radio/Aux-In, USB/SD/MP3, Vinyl to MP3 Encoding - Black by James Lozoya

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple but effective and attractive

So far I am very happy with this purchase. Despite the small internal speakers, the volume and sound quality is more than enough to fill our two-bedroom apartment and probably annoy the upstairs neighbors at times. It's no drummer and lacks the fullness an audiophile would want, but for the money and size it does the trick. If you wanted an all-in-one system, you wouldn't be looking at this happy little thing, you wouldn't be looking at Sony or Jensen building a rack system piece by piece. My intention here is value for money - and given the media options on offer and the quality of the device, this was a good buy. Nowadays it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a quality turntable that offers more than just a turntable. . This block covers all major media bases. I haven't used the MP3 conversion yet, but that was a big plus in my opinion. Transfer that vinyl to digital so you can have good old stuff anywhere without having to buy new. Don't let your musical roots disappear along with the media they're stored on—damn RIAA (literally). a bit for its handcrafted nature (the tuner is the white oval you see in the picture) - that's also a good part of its charm - it's a mix of old school and modern, and it does it in a classy way and way. I'd rather have that white oval handheld tuner than a second digital display (like the one below, which is a CD folder and USB device indicator). Good device, I would give it 5 stars but there would need to be a higher dollar value to rate it 5th. It's great for what it is, but more speakers (maybe side mounted) and fuller quality would have made the 5th sound better.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
