This video is not sponsored by Victrola / Innovative Technology. I paid for the turntable with my own money.
Additional notes:
* The same design is being sold outside the USA as the JVC AL-F58S, Audizio RP310, ProCaster LP-101, and JB Hi-Fi Flea Market 2 (FMTT2). So if you're interested in this turntable but it's not available in your country, see if those other models are.
* The software on the included CD is Audacity for Windows (Vista and newer) and Mac OS (10.6 and newer). You can download it from www.audacityteam.org/ if your computer doesn't have an optical drive.
* To my ears, the USB and analog line-level outputs sounded the same.
* I also pointed out to Victrola two mistakes in the instruction manual: they show using a screwdriver to remove the stylus (not necessary and may cause damage; as I show in the video, it can be easily removed by hand), and claim the stylus should last for 50 hours of playing time in normal use (according to Audio-Technica it's actually good for 400 hours).
* The motor is mounted on three rubber grommets instead of only two in the AT-LP60-style turntables, which should help to reduce wow & flutter (less chance for the motor to wobble on its mounts).

It's always nice to see turntables like this being released. For a while the only two options were "complete junk" and "ultra mega high end".

@Aimede 5 лет назад

wilkes85 it's another iteration of the hanpin design of the 90's with a different arm design, but for its value it is fairly correct

@xaenon 5 лет назад

wilkes85 You, sir, get it. I've already seen a ton of hate directed at this - all based on the fact that it's not some fiddly, ultra-snooty high end turntable. For the price, I think it's very nicely featured.

@vwestlife 5 лет назад

Aimede, this turntable does not appear to share any parts with the Hanpin (AT-LP60-style) turntables. But there is an almost identical JVC turntable being sold outside of the U.S.: www.mistergooddeal.com/nav/achat/hifi_video/elements_separes/platine_disque/jvc_al-f58s.html

@Aimede 5 лет назад

VWestlife oh, a chance I didn't bet it was 😁. The controls and the general design and the inners was hinting me it was a Hanpin declination.

@Aimede 5 лет назад

xaenon no hate for this, my parents had a little Aiwa on that design that still works (might need a new belt though) and have not crunched yet their records. 😁

@rjonzun5828 5 лет назад

You are awesome! Great job identifying the design flaws and contacting the manufacturer. I was impressed with their reply as well.

Was looking for a gift to get my friend for her birthday next month. She’s just getting into vinyl (courtesy of me) and currently only has a Crosley Cruiser, because that’s all she could afford. I promised her that I’d buy her a new turntable for her birthday, and now I think I just found the perfect one. Although, the whole tonearm thing is kind of a bother, it seems like a very nice starter turntable. Gonna see if I can find myself one and give it to her. Thanks for making this video, VW! You made gift shopping a lot easier, lmao.

@maineboy1979 5 лет назад

Thanks for doing this review! I hope IT will fix the various defects and design flaws; however, even if they do fix those things, I feel that the AT LP60 is still a better overall value than the VPRO-3100, for a few reasons: 1) Antiskating. Even though the difference might not be overtly audible while listening to records, a turntable without antiskating will produce uneven wear on the diamond and the records, and if you can avoid uneven wear, why wouldn't you? (It's also worth noting that even though the original U-Turn Orbit didn't have antiskating, they designed it so that the tension of the tonearm wires produced a moderate antiskating force.) 2) When AT says their turntable is fully automatic, they're not lying, and full automation is a very useful feature for those of us who drink too much coffee (shaky hands) or people who are a bit clumsy. 3) Metal platter. Thin plastic platters can potentially warp over time. I've experienced this with entry-level turntables from Crosley and Aiwa. The metal platter of the LP60 won't warp. 4) On-off switch for the built-in preamp. This isn't a big deal for most people, but it's nice to have the option.

@IAmNeomic 5 лет назад

Even as an audiophile, I love seeing new budget options pop up. Like any product, the more competitive and featured these lower-end options get, the better for the consumer. At some point, even some of the mid-range and high-end brands will need to bring their prices down, or come up with other features to make them stand out from the budget options in order to compete. Honestly, even if you're a huge snob, buy a few of these cheaper models and throw them on Ebay. Get the sales numbers of these budget options up to continue driving the competition.

@IAmNeomic 5 лет назад

Dark - I actually do somewhat agree with you. Vinyl isn't the best medium for music. The issue is that the "Loudness War" has destroyed modern CDs and digital releases. You can't press a vinyl anywhere near as hot as some modern masters, so usually there will be much more dynamic range on the vinyl option. Trust me, if I could get some of my favorite albums in hi-res WITHOUT awful compression, I totally would. Vinyl for me is a fall-back.

@MicahS70T5M 5 лет назад

I am happy that the budget turntable market is growing, that will definitely help to get newbies into the hobby. Dark, I’m not sure what you mean by audiophiles being walking jokes. Is it because we claim that we can “hear the difference”? I’ll tell you it’s because we can. Go to your local HiFi shop and give some of their gear a listen, and then go home and play the same songs on yours. Guarantee you’ll hear the difference. Lassi, I can hear the difference between a cheap and expensive TT. Just saying. I’m not trying to start an argument, and I’m not going to argue if someone wants me to, the above information is strictly FWIW.

@IAmNeomic 5 лет назад

Many things about vinyl generally come down to personal preference. Vinyl is usually mastered with a warmer, more dynamic sound that a lot of people prefer over the loud, aggressive sounding digital versions. Pressing a -6dB digital master to a vinyl record would be a disaster. And the people who say they can hear a difference CAN, because every turntable is going to sound slightly different because of the parts, the stylus, the DAC, amplifier, receiver. It's the nature of analog; There are so many variables to turntables that sometimes you can even take two of the exact same model and get slightly different results. Usually within a dB or two, but sometimes that's enough to sway people.

@IAmNeomic 5 лет назад

I never refuted that they "would" do a loudness war with vinyl, they clearly would if it were possible to press vinyl that hot. So I don't know why you tried to make that point. And no, it's not just "crappy pop music" getting mastered loud. Soundtracks, scores, classical, jazz (though I'm not sure what "handsup" is, even tried to Google it). It's almost a rarity now days to find a release with more than a DR7, regardless of it's genre.

@AMDRADEONRUBY 5 лет назад

@nightbirdds 5 лет назад

Does it pass the Daft Punk test, though?

@vwestlife 5 лет назад

Almost. It did not skip on "Da Funk", but did skip on "Around The World", whereas the AT-LP60 skips on both. So it's better, but still not perfect. But like I said before, that Homework album was really only meant to be played by DJs with professional equipment. It was released in 1997 when they did not expect average consumers to be playing it on sub-$100 turntables.

@nightbirdds 5 лет назад

That's still not bad at all, really. If that turntable proves to be reliable, it really should be considered as defacto for the $100 beginner's turntable. I'm also curious to know if even with the limited headshell if you can replace the cartridge at all. With a fixed counterweight you'd have to find one with the same weight as the 3600 and roughly the same screw placement, but there may be a handful that could fit. I'm not sure if you'd want to follow this up, but it was worth mentioning since you've got one in hand. Nice work as always, man.

@HR-zr4tc 5 лет назад

If stylus skips a groove, it's due to bad setup or cartridge and tonearm mismatch.

I only bought one because I was almost certain Victrola would have fixed these issues by now, but they haven't... I will be returning this unit to Walmart .

@somecoder3054 5 лет назад

Pretty good overall package for the price. The brand doesn't really affect me since I'm aware of the actual history and I don't care, but the actual turntable itself looks worth the living room, but the scratching on the cover is something they should fix in the future before I buy one. This will probably be hopefully the case for future batches.

@stonent 5 лет назад

If the cartridge is not easily upgradable then that may be why the lack of the adjustable balance. They would not have to worry about you putting something with a different weight on the end of the tone arm. Likely the choice of not featuring an adjustable balance drove the other decision. The adjustable balance would cost more than the changes to the mount.

@misterhat5823 5 лет назад

@jmontgomery8969 5 лет назад

Coupon code is still good. Got mine 3 days ago. Bought the black model (VERY high gloss black) with a few scuffs from manufacturing (no biggie). Works as advertised. Tracks at 3.25 grams with the AT3600L supplied. You're absolutely right...the buttons seem to be ass backward..but I'm sure you'll get use to the strange layout. Checked it with a strobe disk and it seems to be right on the money. The dust cover is just too shallow (thanks for the tip about scratching the cover). I'm old school and I don't use a dust cover when playing records (my first two turntables didn't have hinged dust covers....you just took them off when using the turntable. This turntable is truly a BASS KICKER! It must be the built in pre-amp. If you like DISCO or HOUSE music you will probably like this a lot! It's a Party Turntable! For $85.00 bucks it does the job pretty well. Cheers and thanks for the review.

I know this is an old video, but I just watched it. That Victrola looks and sounds great. You should do a shoot-out with the Audio Technica LP-60.... On anti skating-- VPI has that loop of tone arm wires sticking up at the end of their tone arms which does provide a small amount of antiskating force. In addition, VPI and U turn have tone arms that are a lot longer, which makes anti skating somewhat less necessary.

@jsdhesmith2011 5 лет назад

@AttilaSVK 5 лет назад

It's possible to upgrade the cartridge, just the distance between the mounting screws and the stylus has to be the same, which is 9,5mm in the case of the AT91/AT3600 cartridges. This is usually the same on many carts, like the Ortofon 2M and OM range, the Audio Technica AT95E, and so on... (or even the Audio Technica AT-F7 MC cart, but that's an overkill for this turntable) EDIT: now I got to the point in the video, where I see that the counterweight isn't adjustable. In that case upgrade of the cartridge is not recommended, it's just a waste of time as it's impossible to set the right tracking force with a different cart.

@CoroaEntertainment 5 лет назад

For the scrape problem when the lid is closed, I don't think a newly designed post is needed... trimming/sanding down the existing post a bit might enough to limit the lift height of the tonearm so it no longer touches/scrapes the lid when auto return is used.

@bluesfoxgrey6883 4 года назад

This machine heavily reminds me of Auna Fullmatic, which, I believe, sells only in Europe. Same base, same platter, couple of differences - the Auna machine bears spring mounted tonarm, but with the same AT3600L cartridge, buttons are slightly rearranged and yes, Auna has full autostart and autoreturn. Also Auna doesn't scratch the lid! XD
