Waste of money - turntable

Came without a stylus. I can't even play it. There is no off button. This machine always shines when playing vinyl records.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Worried

Sur do got sum purty light

I have to say I bought this as a joke (DJ lights built into turntables?!?). I didn't expect it to sound good and it met my expectations. Anyway, he's well built and handsome, and the flashing lights are fun. However, if you're buying something like this to play seriously, please spend a few hundred more bucks and do it right. Buying that to go on vinyl is like buying MD 20/20 to go to a wine tasting.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • unreliable

There should be more advance payment

I can't judge the sound quality because I don't know how to deal with it. Okay I bought this product thinking it was a great converter at a really good price. Remember the saying, you get what you pay for. Well the product looks good but they don't tell you beforehand where to see that this product DOES NOT WORK WITH MAC CATALINA. Who have not yet updated their product to work with Catalina. Those who do not post this information AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE go to the page to learn more about theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • practical matter
Cons
  • dubious purchase for seniors

This is a nice player from ION with RCA audio outputs as well as a USB output to connect to a computer for digital audio conversion. The turntable does not include an adapter for 78 rpm and must be purchased separately from ION. It has a nice look and the diamond tipped stylus reproduces the grooves of a typical consumer turntable quite well. I don't expect it to be as durable as some professional DJ turntables. Meanwhile, this is meant to add visual atmosphere to a party or club with flashingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Blank

A word of caution - I'm not a music lover but I love my music and have studied the violin for too many years so I have at least moderate hearing. Turntable if you just want to play some records casually or maybe at a dorm party. It has some handy features if you just want to play some tunes at a party, transfer a less-than-amazing quality version to your computer, or listen to it for fun if you can take the light. means NOT using the phono input; You can use regular RCA inputs for yourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

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,

Pros
  • Home Audio
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

A good unit with one glaring flaw

It saddens me that this unit could have been a five star unit if only a few simple design changes had been made. Unfortunately, in trying to be everything at the same time, this device doesn't do anything perfectly. As a player, it's actually of good quality (not great, but good). There's a built-in preamp that actually works and produces a clear sound (if you turn the bass down a bit, it's too harsh for my liking). You can remove both the power cord and RCA cables, so you don't have to worryโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Turntable
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
