This is a nice turntable to bring back the vinyl records you may have around the house. It will play all 3 speeds needed for any record. It has built in speakers below the turntable. It is compact and portable. If the blue case is not to your liking they have a few other options to choose from.
To start with the three speeds this will play are 33 / 45 / 78 RPMs. This covers almost every speed I know of that can be used for reconds. The arm and needle seem to be on the softer side and that has good and bad qualities.
Now when you are playing the turntable you can select for the arm to stop once the record has completed. I do this because it does not set in the middle jumping if I am not able to get there quickly. In the instructions it says that this may not work on a few records. I have had no instances with any of my records regardless of the speed being played.
Next we come to the built in speakers. These are not very good speakers at all. They are low in volume when at max. The sound quality of the speakers are at best average. However this is not an issue since it offers jacks to plug in external speakers or headphones.
The case that this turntable comes in is nice. It is a wooden case with a simple covering. The handle on the front of the case is not the best to look at when you are showing off your vinyl toy but it can be over looked. The over all size is roughly a briefcase size. This makes a nice compact turntable. This turntable comes in at about 6 pounds which makes it very easy to move around as needed.
The best thing about this turntable would be the ability to move it easily so I can listen to my old records that have been doing nothing for several years. I have noticed when I do have it out and company is over, everyone asks about it. So it is a great way to get conversations going and rehashing old memories. For those that are stuck on the vintage look this can be an addition to the collection.
SO if you are in the market for a way to play your vinyls from the past, this may be what you are looking for. The turn table offers a refined vintage look, all 3 speeds, lightweight, and great for starting conversations. I would like to thank 1Byone products inc. and affiliates for sending me this turntable to try out and share my opinion.
