Normally I purchase turntables and components A la carte, meaning I look for items that I want to spend in specific price points for different components based on the quality I believe could best deliver value. My current turntable is a Stanton, and I’ve had very good results with that over the past few years minus a few cosmetic issues that have surfaced. Still, I found myself needing a second turntable for the game room and I was excited to try the 1byOne system. This is different because I’ve never had a turntable- in -the-box system. Beyond boxing experience was enjoyable. The speakers were packed on top, and components were in the second box underneath, carefully and thoughtfully packaged. One of the first things I noticed was that the speakers have rubber feet to help protect my wood shelving, and I was pleased to see the forethought that went into this. Set up was pretty easy with the exception of two things. The first one is adjusting the tonearm weight because the weight that’s supposed to adjust the tonearm had to be kind of pushed in on the track so that I could twist it and adjust it properly. I felt like I was forcing it on the back of the tonearm, and then having a back it out. It made it very difficult to have a starting point for adjustments. The second one was hanging the counter weight, which requires reading glasses and a very steady hand. I am in my late 40s so there was a little bit of a challenge, but an older person is going to want someone with a sharp eye at a steady hand for that step. I broke out a 12 inch single of Huey Lewis‘s power of love single, And was absolutely blown away by the clarity and depth of the trouble and the base. The mid range is also properly and pleasantly adjusted so that no adjustments could be made. This is a good thing because there’s no place to make those adjustments. But I felt like there was a really powerful processor somewhere in the electronics that boosted and clarify the audio sound. I also connected it to my Yamaha receiver which also provided a great audio experience. I have Sony speakers that I paid over $150 each for and these little reference speakers that came in the box kept up in pretty much every way, and could be comparable. For the sound, I overall read them at 9.5 out of 10. They are that good. I tried the Bluetooth feature and found that the audio amplification was not very good with it. It was very easy to connect, and did play the content through Bluetooth, I just felt that the audio was significantly quieter for Bluetooth and it was on the phone. And my Bluetooth phone was cranked all the way high with the volume, so I don’t believe it was that. There are two recommendations that I would like to make. The first one is that the speaker wires should be black, and only have the ends displaying the red and black options for the connections. The wires are a little bit unsightly with the two colors, it would’ve been nicer to have a little bit longer of a wire to reach the top shelf of my There are three recommendations that I would like to make.

I do have a recommendation to have a spindle placement for the 45 RPM adapter somewhere on the deck. I feel like I’m going to lose the adapter because I have no place on the record player to place it. Not really a big deal or worth losing any stars on, but it might be a thoughtful addition for future models. My old turntable also had a very small profile for the 110 outlet. This model has more of a larger brick style AC adapter and it would be nice if the transformer or whatever components that are necessary be in the middle of the plug rather than at the plug-in. I use one of the multi port bars for electricity, and I’m either going to have to reconfigure nearby devices, or buy a larger power bar.Overall, I’m still extremely pleased with the features and options available on this model. It fits nicely and is aesthetically beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Even with the light shining down on it, it adds a touch of class it Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the features and options available on this model, And admittedly my nitpicking is really more for the cosmetic stuff. It fits nicely and is aesthetically beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Even with the light shining down on it, it adds a touch of class and it has an amazing audio output.
