Overview
A living room hi-fi rack or a desk with powered speakers is where this Crosley turntable belongs. A belt-driven aluminum platter spins under an aluminum tonearm with counterweight and anti-skate, and a switchable preamp feeds the RCA outputs.
Tonearm adjustments and a removable headshell let the cartridge be upgraded later, which all-in-one players cannot offer.
Who it's for
New vinyl collectors who plan to upgrade parts over time suit this turntable. People wanting a plug-and-play all-in-one or old shellac playback should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable counterweight and anti-skate
- Removable headshell for cartridge upgrades
- Switchable preamp works with any input
- Strobe platter with pitch control
- Speakers sold separately
- No third speed for old shellac records
- No Bluetooth or USB
Performance notes
Tracking depends on setting the counterweight and anti-skate correctly for the moving magnet cartridge. The synchronous motor and resonance-dampening feet reduce rumble, and the strobe lets you confirm the speed with the pitch control.
