Would give this 0 stars if we could. We tried so hard to keep this Victrola music system -- Even ordered a 2nd one in the hope the 1st one we received was just a defective lemon but both were frustratingly aggravating and had to be returned!
At 1st look out of the box these appear to be even nicer than anticipated with a very nice solid wood cabinet and glossy finish. Set it up in 5 minutes and tried the FM radio and the reception was very clear even without unrolling the wire antenna. AM also clear. Cassette player worked great as did the record player. And the sound coming out of the speakers was surprisingly rich and very clear. But this great 1st impression turned sour when we realized we must've received one of the units other reviewers mentioned had buggy volume controls because at the lowest volume level of "1" it was so loud we had difficulty hearing a normal conversation in the same room. Forget listening quietly while you read or work on something and NO we are not geriatric oldsters who just hate loud music! We love loud music when we want it loud, but the volume level "1" on this unit is the same sound level as 5 to 7 on our other audio equipment. Not exaggerating.
But we liked the looks of the unit and the sound was actually pretty nice although way too loud. So we tried another unit thinking it must be better and guess what it was worse and even louder! Same problem with the volume at lower levels plus now a new problem with very unresponsive function buttons. Sometime they worked, sometime they didn't. You know with any electronic device this is a very bad sign because it rarely gets better. So unit 2 was returned also. As always Amazon was terrific with the returns.
What a shame. It could've been great except for a manufacturer using the cheapest quality parts possible just to save a few pennies but wastes a very nice wood cabinet. Believe the reviewers who say these are just junk inside a pretty cabinet and do not buy them. Odds are even if they do work correctly it sadly won't be for long.

well put together unit - we are enjoying ours
one suggestion would be the addition of a record spindle that would allow holding several stacked records to automatically drop after the first one plays

Getting to listen to real music again. Looks nice sitting on top of my old Singer sowing machine. The grand kids are mesmerized!
It is slow switching between CD, records, radio, but then works fine. Good sound. There are millions of old records in the antique shops and I'm seeing vinyl records coming out for new artists as well.

Great product for the price. Arrived in 2 days after shipping. Created a CD from a 50 year old LP easily, following the directions. Needed to use manual tracking. Automatic tracking is very sensitive. The front buttons are touchy but they work quickly using the remote. Wish the remote had a power button. All other features work flawlessly.

I have searched for a quality turntable that comes in a retro case everywhere and wished that there was an audio review for it. I really wanted to hear how it sounded. I have meticulously researched 10 different brands currently being sold and discounted many. I decided to buy one, but after purchasing Crosley CR704C-PA Musician and testing it out, I was highly disappointed and send it back. I decided to purchase this one and found that it is the best on the market in it's price range. The problem with all of them is they have week amplifiers. Crossley sounded alright when I played radio or aux, but sounded pathetic when I played records. Now, I know what a genuine turntable record should sound like. I listen to mine on a Technics 1210 MK5 through powered Yamaha speakers and I did not expect that quality, but what I heard through Crosley sounded as if you're playing records through a "no brand" headphones from back in a day.

This player works really well. Cassette and auxiliary work without issues. The sound is much, much better than all the other brands I've listened to (see video). Gets plenty loud enough to listen in other rooms. Now, this one is not without faults. The turntable mechanism is still of Chinese manufacturing and is rather flimsy, but just as flimsy as the rest of them. I had to glue mine to the wood frame it sits in, as it was loose. The needle headshell has a short handle that makes it inconvenient to lift and presents a risk of scratching a record, so I glued a longer one to it. Finally, the needle tends to skip a bit, so I plan to buy a headshell weight and add the weight on top.

Currently, it's been in use for about 4 hours over past couple of weeks and has performed up to par.
