Crosley Radio CR6007A-MA Recording Tech Turntable (Mahogany)

Not too shabby for a cheap player I got the Crosley by UPS and quickly unpacked it to test it out... Easy set up, and super easy to use. The sound quality isn't the best and there is a lot of hiss and popping in the records, but that comes with the cheap needles and cheap players. If you have some decent MP3 mastering or recording programs, you can clean the sound up by importing the MP3 in and doing a little audio mastering. Its cheap, it works and I haven't had any issues. For the price I wasnt expecting perfection and I got exactly what I thought I would. After reading the reviews, I'm glad I purchased this one instead of the Jensen one around the same price. Honestly, if this one has issues with skating...just tape a nickle or a penny to the needle end of the tonearm. So far for me, no issues and from reading some of the other reviews before I purchased this one, other people havent had too many issues either. Rating: 4 (K.

Great record player at a reasonable price Bought this as a Christmas gift and we love it! Plays all of our records great. Have it hooked up to our Bose speakers and delivers quality sound. Has a little trouble playing older, heavier records but otherwise it's fine. Rating: 4 (A. Arnold, 2010-02-02) Crosley Radio CR6007A-MA Recording Tech Turntable (Mahogany) customer review

Crosley Radio/Turn Table This is a nice product with many useful features. The only thing I do not like is that the volume control nob is made of plastic instead of metal. Rating: 4 (Waldemar Wojdak, 2010-01-27) Crosley Radio CR6007A-MA Recording Tech Turntable (Mahogany) customer review

disapointed with sound The sound is not very good. I thought from reading the info about this unit that external speakers could be plugged in to give better sound. You can only do that if you have an amplifier for the speakers as well. If I had know that I would have bought a better turntable and the amp aand speakers separately. This unit is OK if you arn't expecting high quality sound. Rating: 3 (R. Archibald, 2010-01-09) Crosley Radio CR6007A-MA Recording Tech Turntable (Mahogany) customer review

Crosley CR6007A-MA recommend it only for the tone deaf. Being that i'm an incurable audiophile..this review may be a bit prejudiced. I have listened to this compact little piece of junk in the store and would only recommend it for taking on vacation... Especially since i take in trips to exotic record stores on my vacations. Pushing that topic aside for now, let me get to the meat of this review. It has some handy features such as an analog radio tuner, for those who actually can listen to radio. The controls for the volume, and whatnot are just loose feeling and flimsy, like they'd break if you looked at them wrong. The built in speakers are toneless to my ears. There is no adjustment for weight on the tone-arm,nor an anti skate feature. Even with a line out feature to plug this one into a real stereo receiver, the quality of sound that the turntable would be able to deliver would be terrible. A good rule of thumb is to listen to any such product thru the headphones, i've found. THis model didn't pass that test. The quality of the turntable here is average for the typical low -end ,all- in- one tabletop stereos popular during the 1980s: cheap,short, straight tonearm, small platter on a shaky springy base, and cartridge and needle unable to faithfully reproduce sound. But then i'm prejudiced, like i said earlier, being an audiophile with a Technics 1210 and Ortofon cartridge. To me, as far as a portable travel turntable goes, is even subpar to the Vestax portable around the same price range, plus the Vestax is smaller and more suited to it's purpose. All in all, i give this product 5 thumbs down. (Sound Killer Van, anyone?) Rating: 1 (John Mark Martin, 2010-01-08) Crosley Radio CR6007A-MA Recording Tech Turntable (Mahogany) customer review
