Blast from the Past
by Sweet William on Jul 15, 2009
"I love this little record player. I had some old albums that are not available on CD, and I was glad to finally be able to hear them again. This was well worth the[$] I paid for it. I would recommend this to anyone who still has records. Being able to transfer the records to the computer with such ease is what I liked. Also it is a stand alone record player too. Very smart and simple. Love it!..." Read Full Review

However, the setup for the USB to computer was time-consuming and difficult. I have above average experience with electronics and computers. Technical support was difficult to access and I have still not been able to copy records to my computer. I am frustrated and will just sit it..." Read Full Review

Pros:
Everything we wanted
"This turntable is exactly what we wanted. It's a simple, very easy to use record player. Our records have not skipped at all. For the price, we're very happy with it.
The ability to upload records is a bonus."

- Easy to use
Pros:
Decent Procuct - Glad to Have It
"We chose the Crosley for nostalgic reasons. We have a very similar-looking record player, from around 1960, that quit working properly. The ability to digitize helped us decide on this model.
When we opened the box, I was a bit disappointed with the Crosley’s light weight, which to me, said “cheap!” But then, with today’s electronics, who knows if weight tells anything about quality? (And in my younger years, I had a very nice system--which is still going strong 33 years later--at my son’s home, so I perhaps make unfair comparisons.)
So we opened the turntable cover and I was again disappointed. The turntable looks/screams(?) “cheap,” at least, to me. But my wife was thrilled and anxious to try it out. So, we plugged it in, put on the Beatles IV album, and sat to listen.
Here, I was pleasantly surprised. Nicely balanced tone and actually powerful enough to fill a basement rec room (15x25) with sound before distortion gets unpleasant (but I’m not a greatly discerning listener.)
The Auxiliary input was also appreciated. We had a large family get-together for Christmas so I filled my Mp3 with Christmas music, plugged it into the Crosley and we had non-stop, all day music with the cover closed and turntable out of sight of little eyes.
We have yet to Digitize but I do wish it could make wmf files.
All in all, we are pleased with the Crosley so far. It is easy to use, sounds satisfyingly good, and lets us listen to vinyl once again. I think the price tag is a bit steep for the apparent quality, but it does have a kind of “cool” factor going for it. I hope its not as cheap as it looks and feels. Time will tell."

"After a lot of research, I bought this turntable for my father for Christmas. I was looking for a turntable that wasn't too expensive, that could play the 33/45/78 speeds, and one that had a USB port in case he wanted to download some of the old records. I also was looking for one that didn't have any big negative reviews from customers. This Crosley model met all the criteria and he is VERY happy with it. I tried it out myself, and it was straight forward, easy to use, and had very good sound. He hasn't tried the USB port yet, so can't comment on that."

Great little record player
"Gave this as a Christmas gift to my daughter who wanted to go "retro" and listen to record albums. I brought out the old Beatles, Eagles, ELO, albums and the whole family had a great time listening to the "old stuff". Sound quality was very acceptable keeping in mind that the speakers are contained within the unit. Would highly recommend this record player"
