I guess they had to leave off the feet in order to pay for the diamond stylus? The line output sounds rather tinny, so it's not fully impedance matched, although it's not as bad as some suitcase players I've heard.

@londongaz2 Год назад

Great review! Agree with everything you say about these 'gateway devices' - I had something similar which I have since upgraded, and now really love collecting vinyl.

@berighteous Год назад

that $1000 record sounds like crap on that player. Not my kind of music. bleah.

@nikkimatthys1995 Год назад

Back in July I bought a kedok (kedok was the seller) suitcase player for $65 cad that’s with a $15 coupon a couple days before prime day it was in my budget price range and because I’m new to owning a record player I didn’t know much about how to buy one so while I was waiting for it to come I was watching videos and came across record-oligy and loved the videos I watch that I subscribed and now have been subbed for almost 2 months I’ve learned a lot

@semperfi-1918 Год назад

Its a start. Ive been in 5 years now and have a decent set up. Dont let people tell you as a newbie that what you got is garbage. I look at as entry level and once you know what you need and how you want the room set up... then you can go after the bigger better machine. Ive got several different and types of players. All on good deals. Now i get to sell and get the others to someone who can use them. Im just glad youre a newbie coming in to the fold. Welcome.

I have the same player. What I don't have is another copy of West side story I can listen to, instead of just looking at the copy I've got from 1959 I listened to once and since it played perfectly put away and will probably never play again 😁

@tomtolman9864 Год назад

Excellent review!! Great detail look at the needle and cartridge !! I learned a lot !

@xaenon9849 Год назад

A decent pair of amplified bookshelf speakers do wonders for these little players. I recommend the Edifier 1280Ts, which cost around $100 for a pair. Might be a little steep for a beginner, but these are wonderfully versatile speakers that can be used as a basic home theater setup, as computer speakers, or as a means to play audio from portable devices (cell phone, mp3 player, cd player, etc.) without the need for a full 'stereo setup. They can be used with a basic player,, and later on they can be hooked up to an LP60 or other proper turntable.

@FromMyListeningChair Год назад

When it comes to entry-level turntables or record players, the more newcomers get to see and experience the better it is for the hobby. I grew up in a household with record players and records but never one of my own. When my wife got me the Crosley all-in-one it started me down the rabbit hole. Receivers, speakers, phono preamps and cartridges along the way. Now, I have a multiple turntables and looking to buy my first $1,000 turntable and it would never have started without that Crosley all-in-one.. (And yes, my wife regrets it)

@Recordology Год назад

Hahaha I think they all do!

@michaelturner4457 Год назад

@rexoliver7780 Год назад

The sound of that player thru its speakers sounds sorta like listening to the modulation transformer in most older tubed AMbroadcast transmitters!

@GaryKeepItSimple Год назад

Was there phasing or flutter on that playback? Not sure if it is the unit or just an effect of the RU-vid compression. Nice review, good info. Cheers.

@Recordology Год назад

That’s what I was trying to figure out…

@JeremyLeePotocki Год назад

As of 9-4-23 they got it on sale for $34. At that price it'd really make a great starter player. I'd though recommend getting some good $10 headphones to listen to it. Later down the road upgrade to a affordable magnetic cart player. Good review.

@philbrown5516 Год назад

Great review. But suggesting grandparents need entry level? Huh?😂 We grew up using all kinds of turntables!

@Recordology Год назад

That’s a fair critique. But as a grandparent myself….I can say that 😂. I meant people who haven’t even thought about listening to the albums in the attic for decades.

@yamajammer76 Год назад

I'm hearing some wow and flutter, but for $33 you can't ask for much better.

@richmorrison8194 Год назад

If anyone was going to buy a suitcase player, I would recommend this one based on the fact it comes with a diamond stylus. That's way ahead of the ruby/sapphire styli that are on other suitcase players. With a diamond stylus, you are going to get at least 300 hours of playback as opposed to the 100 hours with the ruby/sapphire needle before it wears out.

@jhonwask Год назад

If it had a Banpa magnetic cartridge with the flip stylus, it would be so much better. Speed adjustment on the top or back would even be better.

@odenviking Год назад

i think that the amazon basic player is a perfect beginer recordplayer but it think that changing the stylus and cart colud be a plus to this nice record player. i could buy this one easly i think that amazon has a best seller player on there hands. thanks for a informative video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hello I'm checking Record Player which is Crownwell C1333 Vegas model. It has built in speakers. And wherever I check everyone says that built in speakers are sucks. Is that really true (I've never used before so it's my first time to buy a Record Player) ? Also I would like to ask which is better Crownwell C1333 Vegas or Crosley C62 ?

@pauldelmolino1740 Год назад

Great review of the product, I agree for $33.00 dollars not bad , a rubber matt under neath it could be used to keep it from moving around, it looks great nice to have if you have a lot of records you are trying out to see if you like the music, overall I would give it a thumbs up, 5 stars review for an entry level record player, and again $33.00 dollars, how could anyone go wrong.nice show, thank-you, Paul

@acerbt Год назад

Would a basic suitcase player like this be good enough for me to travel with? I don't want to have to deal with carying my component system around when I am not at home.

@dougbrowning82 Год назад

Ceramic cartridges have an undeserved bad reputation. Most of the full, rich sounding 1950 - 60s consoles had ceramics.

@Blimpie1000 Год назад

Great review. I used to have a setup with a Miracord turntable, Shure M93? cartridge, ADC 404 speakers and various receivers. All long ago. Now put together a Realistic SA10 (sold for years for $29.95- bought EBay $25.00) . A couple of Pyle Home speakers which seem like the old Radio Shack Minimus (about $25.00). I have an Ion turntable I used to digitize my 45s. For my small space and not want to disturb condo neighbors, works well and I play mainly opera (and my mother's old LIberace!) and works well for me at low cost.

@mikedearinger9390 Год назад

This record player will get more younger people into the record collecting hobby. Playing records you get to be part of the process of making music, not everything is on a download.

@Gwendys_Nostalgia 5 месяцев назад

Question ...I just got mine but it won't spin. I don't know whats wrong?

@rexoliver7780 Год назад

What would be nice for these suitcase TT/ players is to include a lithium battery pack so it can be REALLY portable and play records when power isn’t available At least playing this thru your hi-fi or other amp speaker makes it sound better than the tiny speakers in the set.

@drsysop Год назад

Many of them ruin styrene 45's not vinyl ones.

@plan7a Год назад

It did sound a bit wobbly (wow and flutter) on those last two tracks especially, it must be said. The lid of the device can be used as a 'now playing' place to sit your record sleeve onto so you have a ready to use track-listing; of course. The sound from an input device will also be available via the headphone and not just via the speakers. (Just pointing out the obvious perhaps, but there you go). Speed issues MAY also adjust/correct slightly after some usage, of course. And, depending on the weight of the record it could also affect the speed perhaps too. Again. a slight drop of oil on on the moving parts (motor and the like) might also affect overall performance. I'd prefer to use better speakers than the built in ones; for better separation of stereo and improved sound overall. One other thing to consider is when playing 78's the sound will be in mono, of course, so what happens with regards this for this player? Does the sound come out of one speaker (or headphone) or is it sent to the 'middle' or 'duo' field, whereby the sound comes out the same from both speakers. Just asking as it's not mentioned in this review. (I won't mention the forgetting to plug in the device though. Oh, I have, oops!). LOL.

@w7777777s Год назад

All mono records give you identical sound from both speakers. It’s sort of baked in to how it works.

@stefanegger Год назад

WELL... The sticker says 5V, 1,5A and the back legend over the connector says 5V, 1A, very misleading. And the input elector says LINE IN, while the back says LINE OUT, so I am not sure if the function is even what is desctibes on the labels.

@Recordology Год назад

There is a line input on the front… It is 1/8”

@GaryKeepItSimple Год назад

The book says 1.5 amp power supply, and the sticker says 1.5 amp so it is fair to say it has a 1.5 amp supply but the panel says 1 amp which means it will only want 1 amp. as a normal load. That is normal, 1 amp needed 1.5 amp supplied to allow for peaks and as a safety margin. I would be worried if it did not have a 1.5 amp supply.

@w7777777s Год назад

There is a line input. And a line output.

@timothyweers8054 Год назад

Get some shiny paint in black and hide the name brand. LOL The vintage ceramic cartridges are better. I have great bass and treble control. If you want more dampening, use a couple mouse pads under the player to help reduce vibration.

@teddyfurstman1997 Год назад

I got an Record Player Suitcase from Amazing for 60 with Bluetooth and it’s not an Amazon Basic branded one.

@thelastwave5160 Год назад

For the same or a similar price, I could get a victrola model, which has more of a history in vinyl record players than this AB model.. if they really want to compete with a newbie/beginner buyer, then they should drop the price to roughly $20-25.

@_vvmel Год назад

Started off with a Crosley, updating to an Insignia record player with a AT3600L!! Can confirm a Crosley/suitcase player made we want to invest into a better one

@83Roboto Год назад

In my opinion, once you have reviewed one these suitcase record players you have reviewed them all. There are very little differences between them and they pretty much perform at the same level. This one seemed to have zero quality in terms of sound dynamics. Especially when listening to the direct feed sample. As to the subject of tracking force, while 5-6 grams is within tolerance it is by no means ideal. No it won't immediately "grind up" your records. However, the heavier the tracking force the faster your records will wear. If you play your records exclusively on a device with such tracking force you will start to notice it much sooner then on a device with a lower tracking force. Especially if your playing records pressed on styrene. Such as some 45s. These devices are good for those that want to explore record collecting and aren't sure if it is their "thing" or for a young child to play those story time children's records.

@CounterRhythms Год назад

The lack of rubber feet is odd. Even the cheapest of these usually have them. Feet and a pitch control would make this punch above its weight at this price. As is it's barely acceptable.

@montynorth3009 Год назад

Looks nice, and the mechanics are adequate for the price. The electronics however require serious attention. RIAA? Not even close.

@mgtybulletproof Год назад

Idk I never liked those portable box suitcase turntables.. however I do own two of them.. I rarely use it..

@johnmarchington3146 Год назад

I thought that, for the price, it was pretty good. The music was completely unfamiliar to me so I couldn't comment on wow or flutter.

@deathsaber Год назад

Such mixed feelings about these. My first was one of these (Victrola) I just got last year. I knew it wouldnt sound great (especially with on board speakers), but never expected it to be outright horrid, or for it to fail to play most things (regularly skip on most all modern records i tried.) Ultimately led to me buying an actual turntable 2 weeks later, because it did give me the bug for the vinyl hobby. Its funny because you cant knock these too hard for getting people into the hobby (never would have happened if only thing on the market were $150-200 for even the most entry level turntable), the $40 suitcase got me in, but yeah these suitcases ARE junk 😂

@kevinpatrickmacnutt Год назад

They won't damage your records, they just don't sound very good. I will say a drop of oil to the bearing may resolve the wow and flutter issues. I bought a Crosley used for about $10 to play with and I got it sounding a little better with an improved Banpa stylus, speed adjustment and some sewing machine oil. That said, the Skywin mechanism is extremely limited as is the ceramic cartridge.

@peacearchwa5103 Год назад

Very fair-minded and thoughtful review. My ear detected significant wow when playing all tracks, but this may be due to the turntable's 10-inch platter (not a full-size 12-inch platter), so the LP being played doesn't have as much support as with a full-size platter. The disk did not appear particularly warped, but might be a slightly off-center pressing. All in all, I liked the Amazon Basics record player for what it is.
