@@AudioAdvice If the JBL is in an audio rack, it is not convenient. Especially in the dark or with a drinks party. A button on the front would be better!
@@jaapvander3787 We actually think they had to do it for some country code reason. Most turntables do not have one, and you just select 33 or 45 just like on the front of the Spinner. In other words, they are always on, like this one is when the switch is on. We really did not understand the point of it except to meet some kind of code. It is fine to just leave it on and select 33 or 45 on the front like every other table.
The tonearm gymbal is a compromised engineering. That's for low budget entry level turntables. The horizontal axle of the gimbal should be angled perpendicular to the grove where the stylus is on.
To be clear, it does not have auto stop, at the end of the record it continues spinning. There is no true auto start or stop on this turntable. It is manual, outside of starting to spin once you have set the arm over the record.
There is a button on the rear panel, if you press this, at the end of the record, the platter will stop spinning. We go over this in the video. Thanks for watching
I would much rather start with a more expensive turntable because it has the capability and capacity to do more than most beginner tables. Sure Bluetooth is whatever and it’s cool if you’re into that, but when you compare the sound of this more pricey beginner table to an ACTUAL cheap table, they are not comparable in quality
@@AudioAdvice You can get a U Turn Orbit for $399, which is far and away a better table. This JBL has a cartridge you can get on any $60 player from Wal Mart.
@@HiraethEricmy start was a dual DT210 for 100€, i think the 400€ range is for beginners who already know they will keep the hobby. but its also a good end for people with lots of different hobbys
Is it required to use a Bluetooth speaker to hear the audio? I just bought and put a record on but there’s no external volume control and no sound is coming out. Did I miss this?
This turntable does not have a speaker built into it. You will need to connect to Bluetooth or use the RCA connections to connect to speakers. Chat or call our team at audioadvice.com and they can help you along the way if you need it!
I love the way this looks I grew up hearing about the jbl brand always new their speakers were good they also have a direct drive model I would like to see a review on, on the noise I never head of a TT making noise cause of the start switch ,usually its a micro switch or a lever what noise could it introduce and this maybe a little cheaper than those english brands you mentioned but as the platter was turning I did not see any platter wobble now thats what I like to see when you have those manual more expensive models that are supposed to be better and when I see the platter wobble I will not be happy about that this something to think about it looks better than an entry level type so I hope they do well JRo
@@AudioAdvice Thanks. I did see that. But it seems there is a quality difference using bluetooth vs. the JBL app. Also, will I able to connect 3 Flip 6?
The Spinner won't connect to the app via WiFi so you won't be able to connect that way. It should be able to connect to one Bluetooth device at a time.
I’m from 70’s and please don’t even think about comprare old jBL with these craps. There are many other turntables cost less than this and better quality. I know it’s a paid review and you guys doing your job but don’t mislead the beginners. Thanks.
Yes, there are other turntables out there. However, the founder of Audio Advice personally reviewed this turntable himself as well. (He is a huge turntable geek and has been around them for a long long time 😉) He thoroughly enjoyed it and for all the features it offers, thinks it is a great starter option. A lot of beginners will enjoy the Bluetooth and quality build from JBL. However, like always, there are other options that may fit certain people better. Thanks for sharing!
