A light, hollow, plastic base acts like a speaker and echo chamber for rumble, and cheap tables want to rumble. Turntable motors are like... umm... rectums: They all have one, but nobody wants to hear it!

This can still be a fun table to mess around with. I bet some crazy person decides to add dampening to the case, rubber mounting for the motor, or some other changes, but I think I'm going to leave it here and try to move this little baby on. The retro design is appealing to most users. They come in various designs, including floral prints. They’re different from other types of music equipment because they look unique.To me, that's my reaction to Crosley trying to run with the big boys in the Batman suit its mom made for it or bought in China.

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.) 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. Keep in mind that good speakers probably cost as much as a good turntable, so if you're looking for a good record player with good speakers, expect to pay twice what a stand-alone turntable of the same quality would cost.Despite the increasing sales of CDs in the 90s, the brand managed to secure a spot in the new vinyl resurgence. Nevertheless, there is debate on whether their turntables are good or actually damage precious records. So, are Crosley turntables bad?

Delivery Notes This Crosley has a speed control knob on the top, but no strobe. I suppose you could use a phone app to set the speed. Just don't expect it to stay that way. This is an upgrade from the ceramic crap-o-matic all plastic jobs, but not by much. You'll note there is a metal post, and the metal spindle is on a turned piece of brass. The turntables are mainly bought by people who listen to vinyl records occasionally and usually buy the record players for their aesthetics. Experts agree that compared to other brands, the turntables produced by Crosley usually have a shorter shelf life.

The sound system comes with both wired and wireless connectivity through Bluetooth so you can have different options to choose from to listen to your favorite music. Very few companies offer both connectivity in one device and Crosley is one of them. The pairing of the sound system with your device is very easy, simple, and fast so you do not have to wait to enjoy your parties. These Bluetooth speakers can give you 30 watts of power for powerful sound. Controls Crosley’s C100BT has a solid build quality to it and even better sound. The low-vibration synchronous motor and vibration absorbing feet prevent the unwanted effects of too much movement and shaking, even when the removable and clear dust cover is down. There’s an adjustable counterweight on the S-shaped aluminum tonearm, platter strobe, and this model has a belt-drive system, though a direct drive version is also available. Of course, as soon as I knew I'd be working on this Crosley, I thought of my good friends at Vinyl Engine, and figured you guys were missing the kind of hard hitting Crosley coverage I provide! ;-) The Crosley comes from a bad family (not Powell Crosley's family, but whoever owns the name now), and has to suffer ridicule and shame, mostly because of the Cruiser. But, it's kinda-sorta trying, so give it a break!

5. Crosley Gig Retro Belt-Drive Bluetooth Turntable

Record players usually come in bright colors. They’re visually appealing and will boost the aesthetics of your room. These turntables work for someone who cares about the look of the device as well as the audio quality produced. It is, amazingly, a metal arm, but the headshell is permanently attached (with a screw on the bottom), and it is plastic. There is no anti-skate mechanism. I'm sorry, did you expect that? Or, as the engineers who designed this table would say: "What is anti-skate?"
