@@Recordology have you hook this up to a quality Bluetooth speaker to and how is the sound that's what I would do

QUESTION...Using the USB port, could you hook up external computer speakers? I did this with my Victrola 6-1, but it has RCA outputs. I was hoping I could hook up two speakers and a subwoofer system that hooks up via USB

New to your channel and considering this one Bc of the esthetic mostly 😍. But I’ve been seeing about the Victrola suitcase 🧳 players being bad and can damage your vinyl records in the long run. Will I have the same issue with this one for the damaging on the vinly records in the long run ?????

I love this nice looking gadget because it is an integrated unit which can play the music recorded using old and new technologies right from the time of turntable and it is not expensive to own. I have bought one and I love to hear the old songs playing from the vinyl very nicely in it. The FM radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity adds to the versatility of this unit to serve as a personal device in the office or at home. However, there are a couple of things which I have noticed that it would have been nice to have. (1) The player does not have a remote control to switch on/off and to choose the play options. (2) The player when switched on, it defaults to the CD player mode always. I couldn't reset the unit to start paying the in Radio mode instead, when switched on. With these two exceptions, this unit is a perfect companion for me to relax and enjoy the music.

Hi, great video. I just bought this unit and I wanted to see a review of it. I recently got into records. I started a small collection. I all about the retro look. I'm glad to here all the nice things you said about it. Keep up the great work! 🤘

I grew up in the 1960’s-1970’s. Had quite a collection of records.Still remember the 6 players I had. Not into records, really, though I find it interesting that they have made such a comeback. And I’m glad. It’s a good hobby. I am more into radios. What you said about phonograph vs. streaming, goes for radios too. It really is nice that some companies really get it. Nice quality, and features. This looks very cool. I also like the dial, and that it has AM radio. Don’t like the DSP but that’s just about all anyone is putting out anymore. Good review. 📻👍🙂‼️

Record-ology Most “analog “ radios are DSP. The best , of course is the C.Crane E.P.Pro. Right down to the bargain basement pocket radios from the Dollar stores. All the emergency radios from KAITO are all DSP. Almost everything is now. That “ radio in a chip” has allowed companies to kick out radios super cheap. Then they purchase the rights and dies to previous generations of radios and use the same cases. So they don’t even have to design new housings. It’s easy to tell the DSP . It sort of shuffles between stations, muting in between. Its really easy to go past a station you want. They also tend to pop when they are turned on. Most are pretty worthless for anything but local stations.

I wanted to hear the CD player connected to a good Bluetooth speaker and the vinyl connected to the speaker

I had a similar.one but mine was a Magnavox and it didn't have the USB or the flash drive port or blue tooth and it looked a little different than that one but that turntable reminds me of the one that I used to have it brings back memories!!!

I got one for like 20 dollars, the only thing is, the cd player doesn't work at all. Not sure how to fix it

i know that i am very late to the show, but i just received one of these for christmas and noticed that the 33 rpm is running at slightly over 35 rpm. i dont really want to destroy any of my records, but i cant seem to find where to actually fix this on the manufacturer’s website, they mention it being either under the platter or on the bottom. as far as i can tell, the platter doesnt come off, so i was just wondering if you happened to know where i might find the speed adjustment screws. thanks!

mine has a buzzing sound when its on low volume can you help me solve it

Which would you recommend… the Retro or the 8 in 1?

I got one of these and every time I put a vinyl on it keeps on skipping. is there any ways to fix?

Would you say this player has better sound quality than the suitcase players, while playing records? I’m on the hunt for a unit for my bedroom.

Still very cool - growing up laserdisc was a format for rich people. I had to settle for HIFI Stereo VHS lol.

Mine the 78 rpm was too fast . CD worked great tho

I bought one of these from Target on clearance for around 80 dollars in black and have owned it for about two years now, and just have to say I don't think it's worth the money. It looks nice but it's made from really thin plastic and you have to be very careful when opening and shutting it, plus turning the station knobs. The worst part: the sound quality isn't there esp. when playing records and the CD part--now 2 years later freezes up sometimes. I always get comments on how nice it looks from people who come over--have it atop my mini bar--but it's just not worth it. I wish I had never bought it, about 2 months in I started to have my doubts and by then it was too late. No go! Save your money and buy something better.

Always scared of reviews on things! People are always so negative and it’s soooo hard to know if they just messed something up or if it’s actually the player! Like I appreciate the honest reviewers and everything but at least explain what you’ve done that caused it and if you didn’t do anything explain that too! It freaks me out because I don’t want to spend money on something and it be broken, or not spend money on something that could be awesome! 😤 Love your reviews though!
