Review on ๐ŸŽต Crosley C6B-DB Belt-Drive Bluetooth Turntable: Built-in Preamp, Adjustable Tone Arm, Matte Black by Chad Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Incredible value, great player. Attention newcomers!

This is an absolutely fantastic entry into the world of vinyl reproduction, the quality of the reproduction is well above its price! For reference this is used in a second home sound system using Klipsch The Sixes speakers. My reference system consists of a VPI Scout TT, Dynaudio Contour 1.3 SE speakers, a Bryston pre/phono stage and a 3B amp. Yes, the main system is much better, but it also costs at least 20x more. The combination of the C6 and Klipsch The Sixes is amazing, especially for the price! This setup gives you some really nice high-end flavor at a pretty reasonable price. The Crosley C6 is a surprisingly good TT for the price, the cartridge is the same as the entry-level Rega model. The built-in phono stage is decent, the workmanship is excellent, 10 years ago it would have cost twice as much. Why buy a Crosley when I can afford "good stuff"? Just wanted to see if cheap hardware is bad. It should not be. Crosley (probably with some help) has built a damn good entry-level turntable that sounds fantastic and is a lot of fun! Powell Crosley would be proud! Beginners need to watch some YouTube videos on how to set up the player. This is not a plug and play module. Be sure to balance the tonearm, I balanced mine and adjusted the weight to 2.75 grams, plays perfectly, no gaps. Turn on the power. Many have complained that the TT doesn't work, the platter doesn't move until you move your arm across the platter. I'm 50 years old and have been playing vinyl since the 1970's. I grew up listening to my father's records. Technics 1200 TT listened to vinyl because that was the only way to listen. For the price you can't beat the TT, if you really want a great setup get yourself a pair of Klipsch The Sixes, a fantastic combination! Rock On Vinyl Newbies!
