Overview
A carbon fiber tonearm with adjustable counterweight and anti-skate gives this Crosley more control than a typical all-in-one, and the standard half inch mount accepts a cartridge upgrade later. Separate bookshelf speakers carry the sound, and Bluetooth streams phone music through them.
Adjustable arm settings and an upgradable cartridge mean the system can grow with the listener. Speakers come in the box, so it plays out loud straight away, while the preamp also feeds a stereo.
Who it's for
New vinyl listeners who want proper tonearm setup and separate speakers get a full starter system. Owners of older shellac records need a three speed player.
Pros and cons
- Separate bookshelf speakers included
- Adjustable counterweight and anti-skate
- Upgradable cartridge mount
- Steel platter on MDF plinth
- Only two speeds
- Bluetooth input only, no output
- Speaker footprint adds to shelf space
- One year warranty
Performance notes
Tracking accuracy depends on setting the counterweight and anti-skate correctly, which the included protractor and adjustments support. Vibration control comes from the MDF plinth and isolation feet, with the speakers in separate cabinets away from the platter.
