The Crosley Discovery Turntableis all about, well… Discovery. Discovering or rediscovering your love for vinyl has to start somewhere, so we built a vintage-inspired portable turntable with all the features you need to easily get started while keeping your budget in mind. This three-speed (33 1/3, 45, 78 RPM) portable turntable is ready to play right out of the box. The built-in stereo speakers allow you to just plug and play, but there are RCA outputs if you want to hook the Discovery up to a receiver or powered speakers. Other features include pitch control to fine tune the speed of the record, aux in and a built-in Bluetooth receiver that allows you to stream your digital music through the turntable’s speakers. Let the analog exploration begin! Yes. Most vinyl collectors will tell you to choose Audio Technica over Crosley any day. Users recommend the AT-LP60 which ranks higher than Crosley models in terms of overall performance. Many prefer Audio Technica when it comes to sound quality and functionality. Conclusion

Crosley’s turntable designs are unique and attractive. Therefore, it attracts many customers who prefer a turntable that’s lovely to look at. If you are looking to buy a vintage-inspired turntable that will fit your budget, you should consider Victrola. Both brands offer the same sound quality and attractive retro designs. However, Victrola is slightly more affordable than Crosley. Is Audio Technica better than Crosley? Belt drive tends to be more popular for those listening to their songs at home, whereas direct drive is more likely to be used by DJs spinning records for others. A bit more body and weight, and things would be better. But the built-in speakers are hardly capable of delivering a detailed and dynamic sound, let alone do any better than the worst flatscreen TV speakers. Verdict A belt drive features a platter that sits on a bearing and is pulled by a belt to spin your record. A direct drive also features a platter, but this is directly connected to the motor via a spindle in the middle of the plate.Ideal for a small space, the Gig looks both futuristic and vintage all at once. With its soft, rounded edges and matte details, this also features an AUX input and RCA outputs for hooking it up to the rest of your audio system. Streaming from a digital device is as simple as switching the function knob, and this is super easy to use right out of the box, making it a perfect gift for kids and newbies to the vinyl world. Records are more than just an alternate and old-school way of listening to your favorite tunes: They’re a hands-on, interactive experience. Unlike online streaming, there’s a physical component that connects you to the music — selecting the LP, setting it on the turntable, seeing it spin and hearing the result. The process can be almost meditative, sitting and reading the liner notes until it’s time to flip it to side B.

It is compact and easy to transport. With its portable “suitcase” design, you can conveniently bring it wherever you go.At this price, we aren’t expecting a fully rounded and insightful sound from the Crosley, but the bright and tinny sound is still a disappointment. Here’s a closer look at the reasons why many find Crosley turntables a decent brand to begin with. Pros:

While Crosley is slowly making new changes and innovations to their turntables, they still have a long way to go. If you are buying a turntable with the hopes of achieving the ultimate sound experience, you might just end up disappointed with a Crosley turntable particularly if you choose the entry-level models. 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.It comes with an affordable price tag. Hence, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious individuals and beginners. It’s the same presentation whether you’re listening to vinyl or playing a Spotify playlist through your iPhone 6S. Through headphones, the sound is hazy and noisy – we actually prefer listening through the speakers. If a basic turntable is what you are after, then many would probably say that Crosley is a good brand. Crosley turntables are known for its cute, colorful, and retro style. If looks are important to you, this brand may be suitable for you. However, those who have been listening to a vinyl record for a long time may have a different view. They may argue that there are plenty of other choices that are better than Crosley.

Originally known as a gramophone or vinyl player, this device lets you play music by spinning a record on its turntable. A record player houses the necessary components like speakers and an amplifier to play music by itself. This makes it a great option for those that want a simple music player that requires very little set-up. Released: 1st October 2021. TheCrosley Discovery Turntableis all about, well… Discovery. Discovering or rediscovering your love for vinyl has to start somewhere, so we built a vintage-inspired portable turntable with all the features you need to easily get started while keeping your budget in mind. This three-speed (33 1/3, 45, 78 RPM) portable turntable is ready to play right out of the box. The built-in stereo speakers allow you to just plug and play, but there are RCA outputs if you want to hook the Discovery up to a receiver or powered speakers. Other features include pitch control to fine tune the speed of the record, aux in and a built-in Bluetooth receiver that allows you to stream your digital music through the turntable’s speakers. Let the analog exploration begin! You can also connect your record player to external speakers or headphones too but gone are the days when these need to be wired in. Now you can connect your record player to external speakers via Bluetooth, which many of the options we sell have. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. When you are not at home at the date of delivery, GLS will try to deliver it to one of your neighbors.The tonearm is securely held, and while the build quality is mostly decent for the money, attention to detail is poor. There’s a lot of play in the arm bearing, which doesn’t inspire confidence. But when it comes to selecting a turntable, especially one for beginners, there seems to be an endless amount of options for playing your LPs and looking good on the shelf, too. That’s where Crosley stands out from the crowd. Voices are shrill, and there’s not enough resolution to hear deeper into the mix. There’s a tune in there, but no enjoyment to be had from it.
