The Victrola 8-in-1! Record-ology!

[@talkslikeaduck1]

All he had to do was flip the box upside down since it’s sitting on foam. 😂

[@xaenon]

The best way to unpack it without destroying the box is to open the flaps, turn the thing over on the table/counter (making sure the flaps are still open), and then lifting the carton, letting the unit slide out. That way you have an intact carton to return it to the store if need be.

[@tcanada17]

xaenon yes .. was cringing watching that part .. lol

[@talkslikeaduck1]

Same! 😆 . I did the flip trick. Totally cringed watching him tear it apart like a kid in Christmas morning. Oh well he was excited like one & I can see why. I said the something about the record player.. it looks like a beautiful piece of furniture , especially compared to the mid century modern version in my opinion.

I'm glad they brought back the AM radio tuner. Some of their previous all-in-one systems had an FM-only tuner.

[@randomperson7443]

Last time I checked amazon, they got rid of the am radios for the 8 in 1 models

[@muzluv33]

@@randomperson7443 Right. I bought this model back in July and it came with only FM though similar models other customers have ordered come with both AM and FM. So I don't know why the difference but not a deal breaker as I rarely listen to AM and have another unit with AM.

[@Pacificbell]

The one I had only had fm I wasn’t a really big fan of it and also the cd player never worked

[@talkslikeaduck1]

Yeah I was a bit disappointed that mine only came in FM , it’s a nostalgia record player and ya skipped the Am??? I used to love sitting with my grandpa listening to AM radio together. It would’ve been so cool to relive those moments Everytime I think of him and miss him.

I have been using my 8 n 1 for the past 3 years with no issues. I added a pair of edifier speakers. The sound of this unit is very good. Record player has very good detailed sound. Bass is good and very satisfying level. Overall hope this unit continues to serve my audio needs. And with the added speakers the radio. Cassette player and cd player all sound so much better.

[@thejoker9998]

Bought one of these and returned it because if you play any album that has some heavy bass on them the thing will skip. got an audio technica and am much happiers.

Maybe that’s the problem I’m having.. gonna compare again when I get home I have some used albums and certain songs skipped and a couple brand new that skip... now I’m gonna pay attention... because I’m frustrated.

I have one and it skips constantly. It’s got me soooo mad

[@makemeone2836]

The phono has a full-sized platter which is uncommon and very nice. Still I wish they could put a turntable with a pitch control feature in one of these. Heck, increase the dimensions and put a turntable in with linear tracking. WOW, I like to dream.

Thanks for the review......I ordered me one for the family.....and I hope it works just as well......yeah man

[@pcallas66]

Somebody got this as a gift from a total stranger because they started their musical journey so I said how nice of a gift that was on his post. A guy posted below my post that he would advise against using the record player. I copied my original comment, deleted my original comment to remove his comment and pasted it to a new comment and then added that this tracks at 5 grams (which I got from this video) and if the needle is good and aligned properly, it will be fine playing your records on it. Somebody went out of their way to get this person the gift and the guy was over the moon happy about it and then that guy posted on mine. If he wanted to post on that on his own, that's his prerogative. I just didn't want that comment associated with mine in that instance because of people went out of their way. Normally I would have probably left that alone but this was such a special gift to him and thanks to you, I have more of an appreciation of people that are getting back into playing records because of these units. Thanks for your review on this. It helped me out in this instance.

[@zathrasnotzathras655]

Nice touch that the buttons are antiqued off white. I'm definitely picking up a Victrola soon and then big band records. Finally got the wife convinced.

[@Recordology]

Thats the battle right there lol......

[@talkslikeaduck1]

I used to collect big band record as a late teen , although I didn’t have a record player yet. I adore touching the yesteryears gone by! It reminds me of being a child being so excited to play my children’s Christian agape music & very old Disney records! And it took me many years in my busy life to get one. My husband gifted me the mid century modern but I’ve always loved this style so I exchanged it & got this one. It was so fun to play records with my 13 yr old who was just over the moon excited to listen to the crackle of the records! We agree you can’t beat that wonderful sound and how it transports you back to some very special times. I think it’s always important to respect our musical history ( all history for that matter) I believe it enriches the soul a person and has an impact of greater appreciation for the generations of people past & present. ❤

[@fated2pretend]

Lots of platter wobble on this model. I got one a few months ago and was surprised by how much it wobbles.

[@thatradiogeek]

I got this primarily for its looks, I didn't expect it to be top of the line quality or anything. But it's not bad. I dig it.

[@tabv_v]

got one of these as a christmas present 2-3 years ago annd still use it often. my main gripe with the turn table is : you have to use the standard replacement stylus, i'd bought the diamond stylus and it just immediately skated across any record i tried. the tracking force for the diamond replacements were rated under 4 grams and the lack of an adjustable counterbalance made it unusable with anything but. the default needles sound fine qualitywise but wear out quicker than i'm comfortable with (50hrs vs a diamonds 500). currently looking for offbrand needles that'll work well with it cause 20 bucks for (a 3pack) 150hrs adds up for a daily listener. it's not ideal for an 'audiophile hifi setup' but for someone whose picking through bins of used 4$ vinyl it's a stressfree way to enjoy records without the need for additional gear. the biggest bummer for me is the cd player stopped reading discs about a year in, the majority of my collection was cds and it was the feature i'd used the most. not much of a big deal as i have plenty of systems/computers/dvdplayers that'd read cds just the same but i enjoyed the boombox-like convenience of it. my next gripe is the cassette player is 'temperamental;\ sometimes it works fine but more often than not the autostop will engage midway through a track, or the speed will slow down to a crawl and then auto stop. at first i thought it was my test tapes buut it's had the same effect on all the tapes in my collection, but neither of these are a deal breaker for me as i was mainly looking for a turntable. my favorite feature tho : usb connectivity to a computer. for those stressed about wearing out records you only need to listen to them once while streaming the audio to your pc, ona pc you can record it in lossless wav or whatever you want. the entire unit functions as a microphone/line in option in windows so i'd commonly use it to stream music to my friends over discord/twitch/etc. can also listen back on computer so works for whatever headphones/stereo/etc your using at the time. overall : not as awful as reddit posts will make it out to be if your just looking for an easy record player, lacks an upgrade path but works fine regardless. buuut for those looking for a cd or tape player i'd advise some caution in terms of quality control

[@jamesleibensperger6489]

It is December 2021, and I just received my second Victrola Record player!! It is just like you said, they are better quality than my old record player from Victrola, and let us hope these have a longer life! I thank you kindly for sharing the truth about these record players!! Have a blessed Recordology Christmas, and a better 2022! Thanks for your time, James

[@ernestochang1744]

Have you had to replace the belt drives on these?

[@robertsaenz]

FYI - Victrola no longer makes the 600 B. The link that you have posted is no longer valid. It takes you to the VTA 750 or the VTA 750 B. This one doesn’t record because it to USB anymore. It’s kind of stupid. I spoke with somebody at the trailer and he said they just stop making it… And that’s it no explanation.

[@felixmadison5736]

I've had my 8 in 1 for a little over two years. I added external plug in speakers as soon as I got the unit. Sound is pretty good, and better than sound through Victrola's built in speakers. It only turns on to the USB feature. I wish it turned on to the radio because if you don't have the remote nearby the usb is only thing turned on. If you don't have a usb inserted, and if you do, it will start at beginning always. So, if you have listened to it recently you will have to listen to the same songs you've already played. Not a big deal, but I'm going to see if I can wire it to power on with the radio. I have it hooked up to Alexa, and I have a radio station I like, but I can't get to it unless I have the remote with me.

[@rh176]

which speakers are you using?

[@jmgrayii]

I got this model from Amazon to play old Cassettes and records and it's cool I can now digitize records and tapes. the sound of the AM FM and tape player surprisingly good both radio bands tune very well when the antenna is at full length. I was a little surprised at the lack of bass and high treble from the built-in speakers (use powered speakers via the front headphone jack for best sound) bringing those mp3 files to Audacity and a good pair of powered speakers; they are quite good.

[@RubberMasks]

John Gray II we also got ours from Amazon . We got a great deal in it as well. Under $100 bucks

[@Futureknight144]

Just ordered one today. So are you saying that this model has the ability to record from cassette tapes to mp3? Thanks.

[@gerhardstrydom5249]

Bless you bro!! Thx for the honest review👌

[@MrBillmcminn]

One thing I noticed with the replacement styli is that the cantilever is aluminum not plastic, good for them on that. The Canadian version omits the AM tuner though.

[@chuckintexas]

[@gregkeating4206]

Nice review. Just bought one myself. Can you hook up external speakers, and what about adding a coin to the needle arm, like we used to on older record players?

[@Recordology]

Yes on both accounts but the coin will CARVE your records.

[@Dimitri300-]

​@Recordology So you can add extra speakers, right?

[@bradfordlewis9765]

I bought the predecessor to this unit 4 years ago. But instead of a USB recorder (and a memory stick recorder on some models), it had a CD burner which recorded to an MP3 file (rather than a wave or lossless file). Unfortunately, the entire unit got fried by an electrical storm in which a lightning strike came too close to my house. Everything still worked except the amplifier, so I had function but no sound. And no stereo repair shop would touch it. Long story short, I replced the unit (an Aviator Signature) with a new Empire Mid-Century a couple of months ago. I lost AM radio, but the Phone, CD, and Tape are still there. And I think it actually sounds better than the older unit. Its lid also covers the turntable completely, so no dust can get in there while the turntable is not being used. All in all, a fair trade and a $75 savings in price.

[@robbalboni4179]

I just got this same record player for Christmas. It’s my first record player. So far every record I try to play skips really bad. These are brand new records. Does this player have a way to re-balance the tone arm, adjust the tracking force, or anti-skate dial? I don’t see how to do that on this player. Or should the player come properly calibrated if brand new from Amazon? I want to love this! It looks so cool. Any insight into what I’m doing wrong or easy trouble-shooting would be awesome!

[@logbMMA]

[@LeveyHere]

I just got one, it was a 6 or 7 in one. Loving it so far. Hopefully it'll last a long time.

[@Hogstuff]

Hang on, where did the 9 gram figure come from? Stereo records are designed to track at no more than 6 grams.

[@kalledisco]

If you play a record normal, the tracking force should be around 1.75 to 2 gram. On cartridge for DJ use, you can go up to 3 or 4 grams. These cartridges that is made to track at higher trackingforces will damage your records. And records are not made to be played at 10 grams of trackingforce. And Dolby is a noise reductionsystem, it is a electronic circuit. It has nothing to do with the type of tonehead in the cassette player. If you want to play cassettes, go to a fleamarket or second handshop and buy a cassettedeck.

[@Bunka8]

Hey there I’m clueless on these and need help my girlfriend wants one. The records I’m looking to buy for her all say LP 1 or 2. I’m not sure what that means, would they play properly on this ? Thanks a lot

One day maybe they will bring the voice of music style record changers back, I still have my parents Phonola record player and it purrs like a kitten. Happy Listening!

[@urieaaron]

At 5:11 you say aux out, the RCA label clearly says aux in. I saw that because I wanted to aux out on the exact same unit but made in 2018, and could not use it as an aux out. I ended up using the headphone out. Now I am second guessing myself that I gave up and didn't try hard enough to get the RCA aux out to my amp because I saw the aux in label.

I had to mess with the set screw type adjuster when new its located near the right rear of the turn table surface..it comes all the way down and needs to come up reverse threads i think... it seems ok and sounds ok with it turned so the set screw bolt is up and out 1/2 ior less but there is a prominent wobble more so than i see in these videos

Can you connect it to external speakers? I have big old speaker that have great sound and i really like this victrola device and it will be great if i can connect them together for some extra boost to the sound.

Yes indeed - RCA outs on the back. But they are line level, you will need an amplifier for them.

I just got this a few days ago. I don't know if anyone else bought there's from Amazon, but I did notice that it didn't come with the extra needles, the USB drive or cleaning cloth. Anyway, aside from that, I know what most of the buttons do, but can't seem to find the record button and would rather not have to attach my computer via cable. I'm totally blind, and still have to find out whether that software is accessible on either my mac or windows computer. The easiest thing for me to do would be to use a thumb drive I have and record to MP3. Is the record button one of the round ones, and if so, can you tell me which one? Simply by stating whether it's the first one or 2nd one from the right, or first one from the left. I've already tried playing a record or 2 on it. Seems to like old vinal better than new because my new vinal record skipped quite a bit. Sorry for the long comment and thank you for your help. :)

Let me look into this!

[@chuckintexas]

Mine didn't either. It _IS_ a _relatively_ low-end unit - but SOUNDS and FUNCTIONS well above its "Weight-Class" ! STILL the accessories you mentioned WOULD have made a nice add-on. Oh well _;=) !_

Do i need(or should i use) a platter mat and a weight? And if so what kind of mat do you recommend

[@briantucker4447]

My daughter has one. After a year the CD player gave up the ghost. Bought another one and that one drags the tape.

@record-ology i just bought one of these on fb marketplace - and when i put the needle on then needle arm just moves to the center.. is it broken??

[@alejandro_bme]

The video was kool!!

[@lynnhappilytube]

Great video! Do you know how to adjust the tape cassette speed? Mine is too slow and the music sounds funny.

[@Recordology]

You would have to open it up and access the motor itself....there are speed screws on it. That will void your warranty however and can be dangerous.
