Crosley T150 White

Product Information

If you want to rip your albums to MP3's, you could use the Tape Out into your sound card. But really, don't do that with this table, or probably any table with a USB out (which this does not have). Just go look for the CD and rip from there. Really, all you're going to get from a cheap table is surface noise and rumble. I have thought about a YouTube channel, but I tend to have ADD with different projects. Why go through shooting and editing a whole video when you can basically "write a script" and hit "Submit" and be done with it? But don't rule me out of YouTube forever. You never know. On delivery you must inspect the goods carefully for damage as Inta Audio is unable to accept responsibility for damage in transit, shortage of delivery or loss of products unless the customer advises Inta Audio of such within three working days from the date of delivery. This Crosley has a soft hollow plastic case that resonates with everything, and transmits that motor noise right to the tonearm before it even hits the record! I believe the plastic base is the worst thing about this Crosley and you can hear it!

Crosley designs radios, jukeboxes, and vintage-style turntables that audiophiles appreciate for their retro and eye-catching designs. Crosley turntables are usually compact and affordable, so they work for those who want to experiment with vinyl records using a hassle-free and budget-friendly record player. However, you should understand that this brand isn’t designed for hardcore vinyl record users. The sound quality is mediocre compared to other more reputable brands. Moreover, the design of the Crosley turntables puts a lot of weight on the surface of vinyl records, eventually destroying them beyond repair. The speakers are what you would expect from a cheap pair of 1990s computer speakers. Not horribly offensive like the ones in a Cruiser, but about what you'd expect from a plastic single driver computer speaker, so not great either. If one had bass and treble controls, one might be able to compensate a little. Running flat (as it does), it sounds kinda-sorta-OK...-ish. The Crosley T150 features a unique, built-in switchable preamp that is usually only seen on more expensive standalone turntables. This allows you to easily pair with any stereo component of your choice. I think the Crosley would surprise you through those, by the way. (Like the kid you thought was going to fail but came home with a C.)This Crosley T150A that I've described in this topic is for the first and maybe second group I described. You can get pretty OK sound for casual listening, and better sound if you upgrade the speakers or run it through an external amp. We live in an imperfect world, and every turntable design is a compromise of all of these requirements. People spend thousands of dollars chasing the ideal of perfect sound out of their vinyl. Thanks to the RCA output, you can easily plug it into an existing audio system. It also features a convenient pitch control and AUX-in that you use to enjoy private listening by plugging your headphones. There are lots of turntables or record players on the market, but they’re not created equal. The differences in the design, features, and overall build and sound quality set one model from another. This table reminds me of a scene from the Three Stooges short where they're tearing up a golf course because they can't golf. "Look. We're getting better. See? The holes are getting smaller!"

Had the bottom of the brass part not had burrs, I'd have said "Meh, at least it's not all plastic!". However, instead I had to take a reamer and smooth off the ridge of brass that formed around the hole as they drilled it. I didn't notice anything off center, so at least it looks like they used a lathe and not some child laborer using a vise and hand drill. This is why the platter spins with no obvious, visible drift and associated wow. (There is some wow, though, because, well of course there is!) It features an automatic tonearm that restores the original position when it’s stopped. It’s quite portable and features two 30-watt speakers. You can use Bluetooth connectivity to stream music from the internet or any smart device. Do you need to spend thousands to get good sound out of your vinyl? No! (Otherwise I wouldn't be enjoying the Spyro Gyra album I'm listening to right now on a TT I will show you later.) The reason for that wobble of the platter is the post is just screwed through the plastic base, which doesn't provide much support, especially when the plastic (PVC?) is soft and flexible. These are not good qualities for a turntable, people! Of course, stiff and resonant isn't a good quality either! Crosley seems to have come up with a nice (bad) combination of both! After smoothing out the bottom of the spindle, I applied light oil (assuming and hoping the brass absorbs the oil like the old fashioned "oil-lite bearings" (we called them bushings) that occasionally show up in machinery.You will absolutely love the amazing controls of Crosley T150 as it lets you adjust the pitch of the sound according to your mood. You can also adjust or change the speed of the turntable with the help of knobs on the sound system. It is very easy to control as you can completely control it with the help of three knobs only.
