@wowVJ You should upgrade to an Audio Technica LP60X or LP60XBT it's a better quality record player because the one you're using will ruin your records
@@lauracorbett4577Not really, you just have to make sure to not play your vinyls too much and change the needle once in a while. Still if you can upgrade to something better then yeah go ahead
@DaveMiller741 not really the issue, more so how the record is poorly built with basically all plastic, the record is played at a slightly different speed, the tracking force is really wearing on the records meaning they're not going to last very long and it more than likely has a sapphire stylus which makes the record sound way worse. These mechanisms aren't horrible and can actually sound decent, but do have all of the above issues, I would recommend maybe getting a replacement stylus of a higher grade for starters.
I’m no audiophile. And I don’t think I’ll ever be convinced records can sound objectively better than a high quality digital recording, but even I can tell this thing is just TOO cheap.
@@DaveMiller741 the low quality speakers are even worse in person. The needle often damages records over time due to low quality materials used and lack of a fully supported platter beneath records adds to the issue making the needle dig worse on the outside of.the record (first few songs ware out fast). Also even on thrift shop cheap vinyls, had one stop working after a few months the electornics just all shorted out despite being plugged into a surge protector.

@@jackgreenstalk777 you are absolutely correct. I have a Victrola record player that I have replaced the needle on. The original needle sounds SO much better and was amazing. Now that I have changed the needle to a cheap one, it sounds horrible.
I'd recognize that cheap, made in China, plastic turntable mechanism anywhere! 😮👉 It's been used on almost every budget record player that was sold in the last 10-15 years. That mechanism can be purchased from Chinese suppliers for under $10 each.
I'm pretty sure this mech is even older than that. When I was a kid, say 10 years old or so, I had a cheap all in one stereo tower with analog tuner, double casette deck and on top of it sat a record player with this exact mechanism. I'm 46 now...

@@UniqueUsername420 As someone who had this exact same player, my records would skip every now and then, and the sound quality is not that good. I got a brand new record player I believe not even a month later, and it was much better. My records have not skipped yet, and it sounds much better.
@@emotionaldistress No. These low-end players aren't worth the time and effort to replace the tonearm. Just waltz into your local hi-fi shop, slap down at least $400 to get a "real turntable" and good tonearm. It's pretty simple and worth the money.
Wow. I was actually leaning towards getting one like this cause I just wanted a way to play the few records I have once in a blue moon. But the astounding level of cheapness has made me completely reconsider. I’d rather spend $200 on a decent player I can use for decades or give to my son than $75 on a piece of literal trash that technically plays records.
Yeah, this is definitely a beginners turntable. I have one myself, haven't used it much and will be upgrading to an Insignia soon. It sounds okay if you hook it to an external sound system but as others say? This is not for prolonged use.
Honestly I think beginners can skip this or any Crosley, and just pick up an Audio Technica LP60 or whatever. You'll get actualh good sound and won't ruin your records.
Hi. I have a question, how do you get those built in speakers to work, my doesnt really work so i have to plug in external speakers with my Rca’s. Thank you!
Ok look there is too much comments that just hate on this short look guys a bunch people cant afford nice things,buying something that is small or bad speakers thats all they can afford, if i ever see comments that just hate on the product i dont care people cant afford good things ok just shut up
To be fair that is something people need to be aware of before getting into collecting records. The initial setup isn’t going to be cheap and that should be the first thing you put all your money on.
You're speaking crap, mate. You're quite able to get adequate second-hand turntables which boast a counterweight and an anti-skate feature for the exact same prices as the Chineese model demonstrated. I'm well aware you'd require an amp and alike speakers.
Bro why do everyone be hating so much on these things, like if your not a hardcore vinyl collector and only have like 5-10, then this is a good choice Update: after 5 months i have upgraded to an audio technica! But i will still defend this record player since my records still play perfectly fine. Its a good record player to start out with but i would still upgrade eventually
@@theantiquescollector2199you are literally lying and spreading misinformation. These cheap dogshit record players with ceramic cartridges have much higher tracking forces than moving magnet record players, meaning your records will wear down faster.
It's good for what it is. Might be good for playing 7 inch records for fun. What I can't understand is why they are still putting 78 RPM speed on turntables in 2024?
I don’t blame you for reviewing it, I’d review a garbage product if I was paid to do it too. But just don’t put the needle on the record unless the record is spinning.

This is The cheapest type you can get If you enjoy vinyls I would recommend getting a better one in 1-2 years because I know from personal experiense that these are crap
Enjoy your new player! Vinyl is something I love to collect and I hope you find a passion for it. If this becomes a hobby or passion consider upgrading to a Fluance or Audio Technica turntable as these are widely considered to be some of the best beginner to intermediate turntables. These will help your records last longer and stay in great shape. Happy spinning!
As a future beginner planning on getting my first turntable, with my research i'd recommend the Audio-Technica LP60X, quite well rated in the vinyl community, and not too pricey! Just remember to get the other equipment, such as an amp and speakers. Don't worry about the preamp, the ATLP60X has one built-in. Good luck dude! Wish you well, and always do your own research too!
The fact this cheap thing can play 78s is just hilarious to me. The mental image of someone playing their Al Bowlly records from the 40s on the $35 Amazon turntable is too ridiculous not to laugh at.
If the player for your player is smaller than the record... stay away. If it has a red cartridge like this, RUN. If you see all in one, turn around. If you see built in speakers, uh oh. If you see every one of these in one player... and you bought it.... I hope you hate your vinyl
Spend your money on something better, had this exact player and it started going like 5rpm slower in only 10 months, get an audio technica lp60x or something
From what you described, it sounds like your record player had a worn belt that turns the platter , the belts can easily be fixed before you resort to replacing them.

The fact the mechanism is pushed into the machine with the slightest press says enough to me
it does that in order to dampen vibration. haven't seen this on a more serious player but it actually isn't stupid
It’s a dampening mechanism, most turntables have it in the feet, this has it in the mechanism for cost cutting.
The sound reminds me of a portable record player i had in 1968
