About this deal

Should he find himself with a spare moment, Simon likes nothing more than publishing and then quickly deleting tweets about the state of the nation (in general), the state of Aston Villa (in particular) and the state of his partner's cat. The turntable arrived without the counterweight that was necessary to operate the item, but upon messaging Crosley, they sent a counterweight that arrived two days later, and once installed and properly calibrated (which was very easy) the item plays records well. I should have listened to my colleagues and friends who tried to dissuade me from purchasing a crosley and instead encouraged me to purchase from a reputable company. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I’ve been meaning to upgrade for a long time from our suitcase turntable (which is also a Crosley, but a much smaller, and older model than this) in to something we could keep at home and place on some new shelving.

The soundstage the Crosley creates is confined, vague and not especially easy to follow - it’s the audio equivalent of driving through fog. At the rear of the turntable there are spring-clips for connecting the deck to its partnering speakers, and a pair of stereo RCA outputs. There’s a lot of nostalgia in this turntable for me as opening up and playing some old vinyl has been a great experience in the last week since I set it up. The Crosley C62 is about as ‘plug and play’ as any system that includes a record player could possibly be.After owning this for nearly a week and having been through about half my album collection, I’m very happy, and I definitely made the right decision.

This item arrived and was beautiful- It looks very good on the cabinet, and has a nice heavyweight feel to it.The speakers are a compact (250 x 159 x 159mm, HxWxD) two-way design, with a soft-dome tweeter above a treated-paper mid/bass driver behind their detachable cloth grilles. The amount of amplification that’s built in, meanwhile, is not a number that the company is prepared to divulge. If using as a Phono output unit will need to be connected first to a phono pre-amp or the phono input of the stereo system. Set up took about 10 minutes and would have taken five, but I'd never "floated" or balanced a tonearm.

The matching MDF speakers look just as good as the turntable and each rock a mid[1]range speaker and tweeter.

There’s no animation to the sound it delivers, no drive or presence… and so consequently, there’s no particular engagement, let alone enjoyment, to be extracted from its sound.

Read more about the seller notes “This is an ex catalogue item, we have inspected it and found it to be in Damaged Condition, there may be damage to the packaging. The sound it makes, though, might conceivably make you think you’ve wasted even this brief amount of time.Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. The sonic characteristics already described are all still evident, however – and they’re joined by the C62’s tendency to clip the first fraction of a second from the digital file it’s playing. Not every all-in-one system is all contained in one unit – but the Crosley C62 certainly has more going on than might seem apparent at first glance.
