My guess regarding that name: "rock pigeon" might be a direct translation of the Chinese 原鸽 (Simplified Chinese in China, as opposed to Traditional Chinese used elsewhere), which is a homophone of 原歌 "original song", in the sense of "this turntable sounds as good as listening to a live original". Yeah… with that kind of wow? I doubt it.

The low cost is what surprises me. If you feed the cost of the cheapest 1970s record player (e.g. Fidelity HF42) through an inflation calculator it comes out at about £100. In 1973 the cheapest magnetic cartridges were about £5, equivalent to the price of this turntable today.

Good to know, were you able to fix the speed issue at 33⅓ RPM then? I mean it sounded decent (apart from the reverse stereo thingy). I wish they would put it at $79 and fix packing and improve QC then it would be a great TT for the price. (gently used, great shape AT-LP60 don't come by often). It would definitely help some people get into vinyl easily without a too steep investment. Some comment was mentioning a "higher end" model from this company that was at least much better packed. Something to keep in mind to help people who want to get into vinyl but don't know where to start. Thanks.

Thing is, I guess, at that price? Can you even expect QC really? Considering where it comes from, this is just cheap plastic crap to try and get one-up on the hundreds of different ceramic cartridge based players that advertise the same features at the same price point.... at least it has a magnetic AT3600L cartridge which is very good, but the arm, bearings and counterweight assembly, and lid packing are really only worth a facepalm... But at this price, can you really expect better? And any form of QC? When you're looking at the AT-LP60X and above, then yes, QC is expected, and mostly does it's job - some dodgy ones do get through, but at least AT are more particular about their products, and have a reputation to maintain, but who are "One-By One" and their "Rock Pigeon"?

It had the same mechanism and cartridge, as well as the two very recognizable volume and speed knobs on the side. The difference was that it was pure white, instead of woodgrained like this one. Price was around 80 euros. I remember a "Crosley" suitcase machine was 29 € in the same store.

It seems more like the counterweight screw that fits on the spiral groove of the back of the tonearm was missing and that's why it won't fit properly.

@johncoops6897
@johncoops6897 2 жыл бұрын
No, a linear volume control causes all of the "action" to occur at the minimum settings. A log pot is used to even it out so 50% loudness occurs at midpoint, rather than at 10% rotation. This probably uses a linear pot to send a voltage signal to an electronic volume control IC, since that is the way most modern circuits are configured. The reason is that it allows the cheapest single gang linear pot to be used on a stereo system, or even 2.1 channel or even surround sound as well.

A linear potentiometer would result in the volume changes being more substantial at the low end. My guess here is that instead of attenuating the signal directly the knob only sends a control voltage to the amplifier chip. If the amplifier is designed to take a linear control signal instead of a 'corrected' one then a double 'correction' like we hear here could result.

A model currently on Amazon for $144 with the red tinted wood grain really looks like a top notch turn table. Has great reviews too. Seems like a really great price for a modern TT. But certainly not as good as my vintage units I already have. I still think the Pyle TT we both reviewed years ago was the best TT for the price, just seems like everything since is just not quite all it should be.

I noticed it gets worse the heavier the record on the platter is. So it's probably mostly due to the cheapo no-name motor they used.

About 4 years ago I bought a Pioneer M6500 music center. It worked pretty well as it actually has separate electronics for each of it's functions and using the turntable sounded fantastic through some pretty big Pioneer speakers that I got specially for it. The only downsides where that the control knobs on the front had been slightly bent out of shape (and were loose) and the front plate appeared to be covered in blood ! Well I've got to say that if I was forced to only have one 'system' then this would be it, despite the lack of cd player (it sounds that good !) And the price I paid ? £11.50, an absolute bargain !

You must admit though, "Rock Pigeon" has a certain ring to it, although you can't quite tell whether rock is supposed to be a music genre or an aggregate of minerals, the latter is certainly fitting, like a pigeon that flies like a rock. I'd love to see future, potentially less terribly botched products from this brand!

I’m glad to see there are reasonably priced entries for the hobby. My record store sells vintage clearance LPs for 50 cents each if you buy 10. Have fun, and don’t bankrupt yourself.

I remember I bought acouple no name stereo's with a record player and built-in 8-track player in 1976. Until I was introduced to real stereo equipment then I got a technics turntable a kenwood receiver and kenwood speakers. Still have those kenwood speakers 777D's. Hopefully people who buy these kind of units move up as they gain more experience like I did. Luckily for me I was in the air force and was exposed to quality stereo equipment!!

For the price the sound isn't bad actually. It's quite good. I want to suggest that you try modding by changing the original motor with the better quality ones you showed in your previous Teac cassette deck video but since you're planning to return the turntable so probably there's no need to do it. Great video 👍🏻

For that price i think is top of a class and is a lot better than the ordinary turntables people used to have all the previous years for home music listening.Nowadays is impossible to find turntables of the known hi-fi brands and the other solution is to buy a hi-end class equipment which turns to be impossible also.

I see this as a good turntable for someone who wants to get into records, but has never used one before. If they enjoy records and want to upgrade at a later date, at least the turntable won't have ruined them, seeing as how it does use a decent cartridge and stylus. If they don't, well, it was only $60, so......
