I love this nice looking gadget because it is an integrated unit which can play the music recorded using old and new technologies right from the time of turntable and it is not expensive to own. I have bought one and I love to hear the old songs playing from the vinyl very nicely in it. The FM radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity adds to the versatility of this unit to serve as a personal device in the office or at home. However, there are a couple of things which I have noticed that it would have been nice to have. (1) The player does not have a remote control to switch on/off and to choose the play options. (2) The player when switched on, it defaults to the CD player mode always. I couldn't reset the unit to start paying the in Radio mode instead, when switched on. With these two exceptions, this unit is a perfect companion for me to relax and enjoy the music.

I grew up in the 1960’s-1970’s. Had quite a collection of records.Still remember the 6 players I had. Not into records, really, though I find it interesting that they have made such a comeback. And I’m glad. It’s a good hobby. I am more into radios. What you said about phonograph vs. streaming, goes for radios too. It really is nice that some companies really get it. Nice quality, and features. This looks very cool. I also like the dial, and that it has AM radio. Don’t like the DSP but that’s just about all anyone is putting out anymore. Good review. 📻👍🙂‼️

Interesting, so an analog tuner can still have a DSP? Thank you for watching!
@jeffking41765 жыл бұрын
Record-ology Most “analog “ radios are DSP. The best , of course is the C.Crane E.P.Pro. Right down to the bargain basement pocket radios from the Dollar stores. All the emergency radios from KAITO are all DSP. Almost everything is now. That “ radio in a chip” has allowed companies to kick out radios super cheap. Then they purchase the rights and dies to previous generations of radios and use the same cases. So they don’t even have to design new housings. It’s easy to tell the DSP . It sort of shuffles between stations, muting in between. Its really easy to go past a station you want. They also tend to pop when they are turned on. Most are pretty worthless for anything but local stations.

I bought one of these from Target on clearance for around 80 dollars in black and have owned it for about two years now, and just have to say I don't think it's worth the money. It looks nice but it's made from really thin plastic and you have to be very careful when opening and shutting it, plus turning the station knobs. The worst part: the sound quality isn't there esp. when playing records and the CD part--now 2 years later freezes up sometimes. I always get comments on how nice it looks from people who come over--have it atop my mini bar--but it's just not worth it. I wish I had never bought it, about 2 months in I started to have my doubts and by then it was too late. No go! Save your money and buy something better.

Interesting little set-Like you I want to see the records turn-the tape reels turn!One of my older Laserdisc players you could watch the disc turn.with LED tech today-they should make it where you can adjust the color and brightness of the LED displays.Laserdisc was an older video format sort of based on CD tech-the video was recorded as analog along with the sound-later the sound was digital as in CDs.Laserdisc competed with the tape formats-I used it instead of tapes.You could not record with Laserdisc-just playback thru your TV and sound system.You see Laserdisc machines surface now and then.

I really like the idea of color adjustable LED lights! My son just bought lights for the underside of his bed that change color with a remote control. And as far as laserdisc goes.....I always liked the idea of analog video stored on a disc - but I know the format had issues such as discs scratching themselves while spinning due to their own weight. Still very cool - growing up laserdisc was a format for rich people. I had to settle for HIFI Stereo VHS lol.
