Overview
Housed in a retro suitcase shell, the Victrola Journey is a 3 speed turntable that plays 7, 10 and 12 inch records and adds Bluetooth streaming and built in stereo speakers. It suits anyone who wants one self contained unit for vinyl and phone audio.
This is a belt drive turntable housed in a suitcase style shell rather than a component deck meant for a dedicated hi-fi rack. The tradeoff of that format is a built in speaker and amplifier that will not match a real stereo system, in exchange for something that needs no other equipment and can be carried by its handle. A stereo RCA output and a line input mean it can still feed external speakers or accept a non Bluetooth source like a CD player later.
- Vintage suitcase housing with a carry handle
- Line input accepts non Bluetooth sources such as a CD player
- Headphone jack for private listening
- Input select and power/volume knobs for simple operation
Who it's for
Suits someone starting a vinyl collection who wants a self contained, no assembly player for a bedroom, office or living room, and anyone who wants to stream phone audio through the same unit. Not suited to a listener who already owns a stereo system and wants a turntable built for output quality over convenience.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Plays 7, 10 and 12 inch records at all three standard speeds
- Bluetooth streaming and RCA output on the same unit
- Suitcase design needs no separate stereo or wiring
- Auto stop switch halts the platter when a record ends
- Built in speakers will not match a dedicated stereo system
- Clean with a dry cloth only, per the manufacturer's care instructions
Performance notes
The belt driven motor runs at all three common speeds, 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm, and the deck sits on sound isolating feet to cut vibration reaching the stylus. Bluetooth streaming and the physical turntable share the same built in stereo speakers, so switching between a record and a phone is done with the input select knob rather than any rewiring. An auto stop feature halts the platter once a record finishes, and the headphone jack and RCA outputs give a path to private listening or external speakers when the built in speakers are not enough.
