The unit also works very well as a bluetooth speaker. I've had mine for a while. SOUNDS GREAT. I have no problems playing all of my daily use collection on it.

Amazon don't seem to have them anymore, maybe they have sold out.

Hi. Thanks for watching. I just saw something in the US store, so it does look like it’s still available. a.co/d/6uadAUa

Hi HWN like the channel and it’s name. I just received mine on Friday to replace a Crosley C3 that gave up the ghost. I’ve got some remarks for your C3 video after I address the Mykesonic. Right out of the box setup went well. Everything appeared within spec but my first concern before the unit arrived was the pitch/speed. I’d read on an Amazon review that the adjustments were outside the unit. Since viewing all the pics available of it, it appears there are no adjustment controls. I assumed they were in the usual spot with holes on the bottom. Turned out not to be true upon arrival. Anyhow, mine works great except 33 setting is 33.61-33.71 and 45 setting is worse at 46.88. I’m teetering on sending it back and going with other units that I know I can adjust easier with a jewelers driver. After examining the underside I might be able to take the bottom panel off to be able to adjust the speed but I don’t know that for sure and I kinda hate opening it up right now being new with whatever warranty. I’m currently running it on 45 by itself thinking maybe it’ll burn in I’ll check it in a few hours. Doubtful it’ll help. I’m curious if you had opened up yours at all? Before I saw your video, I saw the VWestlife video which he did take it apart and you can see where the holes are on the motor but he completely disassembled his for further examination. I’m not gonna go that deep. I was hoping somebody might be able to tell me if I take that panel off the bottom if it’ll help? It almost looks like you have to take it out of the frame. I can’t tell without diving in. I sent a question to him, but he’s a busy guy, as we all are so I wasn’t expecting an answer overnight. Thank you so much for your videos. I’m a subscriber now. Looking forward to some more and exploring your channel and I’ll have some comments for the C3 one lol.

Hello, and thank you for watching! Yes, mine had some speed issues initially. I even posted a note about it the comments, but since removed it. After sitting on the device for a month, the unit started to play records (33 and 45 rpm) fine. Not sure if this is the "burn in" it needed. Not sure you wait that long. Yes, VWestLife took his apart and that's something I haven't done. Now that it's playing fine, I'd hate to ruin it :-) For the cost, there are other equivalent turntables that might suit your need, but the automatic capabilities of this one are hard to beat. Can't wait to read your C3 comments.

@@heywhatisnext I returned the Mykesonic. I wanted to like it but the speed issues were going to nag me until I opened it up and fixed them and I didn’t feel like dealing with something that should be exact or close to it out the door. That and the eventually annoying power on/off announcement. That would drive people nuts in my house for late night listening. It can’t be defeated with rca plugs I didn’t think to check to see if inserting a 1/8 jack in the headphone would. Anyhow there are features I like about it. The main one that sold me is the ffwd/bkwd lever. Not as good as a Linear Tracker but cool.

Does it works with 220 V? For Europe

@heywhatisnext Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. Looking at the AC to DC adapter and it shows the input as 100 to 240 volts - 50/60 Hz - .4 Amp max. Hope that helps.

I wonder if you ever contacted the company. It might be possible to improve the "wow and flutter" by oiling the motor.

@heywhatisnext 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. No luck at finding a contact point your Mykesonic. Thanks for the suggestion about the motor.

What was that song that you tested?

@heywhatisnext 23 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching. There were a couple of songs, so let me list them: 1) 1812 Overture (Promenade records) 2) 45 RPM Set of Glenn Miller Music (RCA) 3) Nutcracker Suite (Promenade records) 4) Pretty in Pink (80's Pop Compilation) Hope that helps.

Wow and flutter is usually belt or motor dependent. Since this is a new machine, neither of these should ideally come into play at this point, but considering that all seemed good immediately after you bought it, I'd start with a belt swap before looking at the motor, if you get no help from the company.

Thanks for the tips! Surprisingly, this record player has worked well for the last two months. This was great timing as my linear-tracking turntable stopped working.

Well the head doesn't look tilted and you can't adjust it like that you have to have it on the record

Great suggestion, and you're right! Definitely left out some steps. Maybe I'll do a follow-up short on this topic.

I saw the VWestlife video and at the time it was about $100.00 on Amazon. I put it in my cart to think about it because it's not something I need and then not long after it went up to 150.00, RIght now it's 144 with a $20 coupon.

Thanks for the comment. Overall I love the features, but recently the wow and flutter is getting a bit worse. :-(. I’m assuming my unit may have an issue and it’s too late to return and swap for another unit.
