1 BY ONE Belt Drive Turntable with Bluetooth Connectivity, Built-in Phono Pre-amp, USB Digital Output Vinyl Stereo Record Player with Magnetic Cartridge, 33 or 45 RPM

I received an old LP as a gift from my sister who assumed I had a turntable due to the fact I am a big stereo nut. Many many years ago I tossed my vinyl collection in favor of CD and never looked back. Anyway, so there I was, holding this album with no way to play it. Amazon to the rescue. I looked at and read reviews of a bunch of turntables at a fairly low price point since vinyl was the LAST thing I wanted to invest in. This one stood out as a mostly positive unit. I ordered it. It arrived and right off the bat I was impressed with the way it looked- not cheap like I expected it too. It does not look out of place with my somewhat expensive system. After nearly a year of owning and using this turntable, I am still pleased and can recommend it. One thing you will like is that it has its own preamp so it can be used with any receiver - even ones without a phono jack. You can simply use any other input available. Just make sure to change setting on back. This should make it an excellent choice for those of you with powered speakers. Couple of things that are odd or annoying. All power buttons are on the back where you can't see them (the platter "on" button is on the main table so don't worry). Bluetooth- why? The whole vinyl thing is a retro concept. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go low-fi and use a Bluetooth connection. Well, I tested it and it works. You will be reminded of it's presence by the flashing blue light everytime you turn it on. No auto return. I know this is clearly stated but I didn't realize I would miss this feature. You will be up and down a lot. Be careful when you first get the unit. There is a piece of tape across the stylus cartridge placed there for protection during shipping. Take it off GENTLY so you don't yank the whole cartridge out like I did. The anti-skate set up is a pain in the a** due to kind of vague instructions. Push thru it. Once done you won't have to it again. Other than the minor things above, this is a really decent turntable. I have had zero problems with it honestly, it sounds quite good! With a modern new LP, it can be quite remarkable. I am ashamed to say that I have started buying LP's again. Kinda fun to go into a used record store and browse knowing I can once again play this format!

Pros: While waiting delivery I was building a mini-entertainment center to house the turntable and other electronics. There was some confusion on dimensions stated on sales page so I called Customer Service fully expecting the usual let down. To my amazement they not only answered but the person went out of her way to be helpful and even spoke clearly. What a pleasant surprise in these days of "foreign" tech support. The price was obviously a main attraction as I was looking at units in the under $300 range. The reviews of other units approaching $300 consistently reported "slowing down" of the motor and cheap, lightweight plastic construction. I figured if that's the case then I'm just going with this unit since it actually had less negative reviews. One main attraction was that the unit is 100% manual. As an engineer that means there's a lot less to break or wear out. Also, and most important I believe one of the problems with slow-downs that people experience on other units is all the Automatic features. These features all depend on the same inexpensive 12 Volt motor which now has to power all that other stuff instead of just the turntable (additional stretching of the belt to these other components with more turns and wear points contributes to the slow-downs as well as the power drain). Being fully manual all the power is directed just at the turntable and it feels quite strong when I used my full-width record cleaner while the table turned. Time of course will tell. Another nice feature to help with the manual operation is the tonearm lift lever. This lifts the tonearm and allows you to place the needle exactly where you want it before lowering it, or raising it. This is mandatory for my old shaky hands. Not sure why they don't promote this in their advertising because it makes the whole manual thing workable for people scared of this style. During unpacking the first thing I noticed was how relatively heavy the unit felt. Ordinarily might not have noticed this however the comments in reviews of the units that are 2-3X more expensive is that they feel light and cheap. This "felt" well built. Also although I don't personally care that much about looks, I have to admit the red-wood look and design of the components is most attractive. The dust cover is heavy duty and works well with the two-point hinges. I'm listening to Billy Joel 52nd Street while writing this and it sounds great. So I guess the cartridge is good quality. So far listened to a dozen Very Old records and no skipping or other issues. BTW it has Bluetooth for the speakers, but I'm not using that so no clue if it works. Cons: The Instructions would be my only real complaint. The quick start is a mind boggling collection of illustrations by someone on LSD. Fortunately there's an actual manual as well. This is a bit better but still might be a bit confusing to some people who aren't mechanically inclined or already intimately familiar with turntable functions. In other words, if you're just not capable of putting together things that aren't simple then you're going to struggle. This is Not something you can just take out of the box, plug in, and start using. However keep in mind that if you do run into trouble there's the tech support line, though expect to wait for a call-back the next day (just being realistic).

What else can I say apart from brilliant! This product really took me by surprise. It’s unbelievable value for money. First of all, delivery and packaging was great. The product arrived the next morning via PDP that kept me up to date on its whereabouts. The product was well packaged and protected so the product arrived with no damage. After I had unpackaged it I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and finish to the product. For such a reasonably priced product, the look of it definitely looks like a higher priced item. I started by testing a record using the built in speakers and again was very pleasantly surprised. The built in speakers give a great sound quality that is a lot less tinny than I expected. They are also surprisingly loud that easily filled my living room with sound even on half volume. I have uploaded a video of the record player playing through the built in speakers. Using the record player was also very easy. Being a bit of a novice when it comes to record players, it was so simple to operate and if in doubt the instructions are a great guide. I then tried hooking the record player up to my sound bar to see if I could get a better sound quality. Even though the built in speakers are good, hooked up to external speakers really gives the records that needed bass and the sound quality is superb. Great for when you have people over and want to show it off and have a 80’s boogie. I honestly can’t fault the product at all and everyone I have shown it too love it as well as me. A few friends have even gone and bought one themselves. Thank you 1byone. Great product. Great price. Great customer service. Definitely recommend!

Ich hätte das Gerät gerne ausprobiert, aber es hat keinen deutschen Stromanschluss und ich habe keinen Adapter. Ein entsprechender Hinweis wäre gut gewesen, dann hätte man ein anderes Gerät oder einen Adapter kaufen können. So werde ich jetzt abwarten, bis ich das Homeoffice verlassen darf, und hoffe im Laden einen Adapter zu finden, sonst muss ich den auch noch hier bestellen und kann es heute nicht mehr ausprobieren. Edit: Mit entsprechendem Adapter, um das Gerät an einer deutschen Steckdose anschließen zu können, hat es jetzt auch Strom. Die integrierten Boxen gehen schnell in die Knie, gerade wenn die Töne höher werden. Sonst scheint es ein ordentliches Gerät zu sein.

I have always wanted a turntable with a USB recording feature but have been put off by the price in shops over the years. Had I not read all of the 5 star reviews of this product, I would not have believed something so reasonably priced could be so good, so here is another 5 star to go with all the others!! Like so many other reviewers have said: Well packaged and comes in its own product box so good to wrap up for a present, arrived on time, easy to use, great little instruction book written in English that is actually correct and understandable, works well on all speeds, additional stylus are cheap and bought some on Amazon. The USB is easy to use - just plug in and use the record button on the front of the unit - start and stop manually for individual tracks or just leave to record one audio file for a whole album etc. Note that you are paying for a basic record turntable and not the speaker quality. It sounds like a portable radio with little base but there is an easy to use audio-out connection for external speakers but base quality is still limited I would really recommend this little gem.. if you want a quality turntable and USB recording feature at a great price, this is it!!

Un aparato de calidad, con un diseño atractivo y a buen precio
