Hey! You know what? This Numark PT01 is hands down the BEST portable record player with a ceramic cartridge. DO NOT BUY a Crosley Cruiser. DO NOT BUY a Victrola. DO NOT BUY any one of the many cookie cutter knock offs from China.Several features set this one apart from the rest.1.) a REAL Chuo Denche cartridge.2.) pitch control3.) tone adjustment4.) (and this is the big one) - it accepts batteries for TRULY PORTABLE on the go record enjoyment.5.) price - you get a LOT for your $120 bucks, friend-O.I purchased this several months ago, and it's great. I use mine primarily on the front porch at the end of the day so I can listen to my Ernest Tubb and Hank Snow LPs while savoring a fine cigar and some iced tea. The sound quality as is, is quite decent. Some may notice that this only has a single monaural speaker, but honestly, the sound (donald j) Trumps the Crosley and Victrola and knock-off 'stereo' units which, while stereo, have smaller, lower quality speakers that are place too closely together for one to get true stereo enjoyment.And... the Numark has RCA speaker out connections and a pair of phono jacks. I have not connected this to a better set of speakers, but I have listened to LPs on it with a good pair of over the ear cans, and the audio quality is surprisingly VERY good.I added a flip-over Chuo Denche style cartridge that allows me to use the proper size stylus for 78s with a flip of the cartridge lever. (Did I mention this plays 78s too? IT DOES!)There are after market mods available for the PT01 including a marginally better speaker replacement and a replacement tone-arm with a magnetic cartridge and pre-amp. I have considered these mods, but I honestly don't think I will sink more money into an already fine fine fine phonograph.I fell in love with this record player so much that I also bought one as an Xmas gift for my 5 year old godson as well as my 13 year old granddaughter. They BOTH love it and are getting much enjoyment out of theirs too.The Numark PT-01 is MY choice for a portable record player, it should be yours too.

OK let’s get this out of the immediately, is this an amazing sounding turntable? NO!Why 5 stars then? Because it’s nearly PERFECT for its INTENDED purpose!!If you want amazing sound you don't by a turntable under $100, hell, just a proper cartridge will run more than 3 times that!Specifications are, as expected, nothing amazing: its belt driven, plastic tone arm, plastic shell, plastic everything really, besides the brushed aluminum face plate, that said it does not fell like you bought it in Toys’r Us, ok maybe it does, BUT it does feel well put together, knobs feel smooth with center lock, the built in amp is nothing special and yet it was surprisingly FLAT in the EQ, which is actually a GREAT thing if you want to preview records. It does struggle a little pushing larger over ear headphones, but it does the job!! Have not used the USB transfer software yet or have converted any songs because I have a much better unit for that but it seems to be holding RPM good, it’s not perfect but for what it is I was personally VERY impressed. If you want to transfer music with high quality please go elsewhere and don’t complain about this otherwise great product! But if you want to transfer few songs for personal archive or to listen on your phone, it’s great, will do the job and you will be very happy. The platter feels solid, well suspended.So who should consider this turntable? I see this perfect for several types of customers,DJs (such as myself), audiophiles that love to "discover" old treasures and music collectorsif you are in this group, chances are you already have a high end turntable, in case of DJs more than one, and yes my DJ turntables do live in flight cases but that makes each one around 53 lbs!!!! so not exactly carry around easily type of thing! So why do you need a small portable alternative??I personally go and dig for records in garage sales, used record stores and anywhere i could find anything, some stores (not many nowadays) will have a record player and IF it works you might be able to preview records, for all other occasions you are on you own. So, how about a small light turntable that runs on batteries you can take with you,? Yes its perfect! it’s cheap you don't worry about taking it with you and yet for all intended purposes you WILL be able to preview records you are interested in!! Let the DIGging begin!!! I love it! Now ….you have bought a bunch of new records, some you dug up, others you ordered online, AAAAND its Monday, and you have to go to work..... in a cubical!! But you really want to listen to those records while you are there!! SO how about you take them with you?? What if you could put your turntable, 25 records and a pair of over ear headphones all together in a euro flight 70 case? Well now you can!! Leave the office noise in the background and enjoy your new records! Preview, sort and classify your new music!!Students:DORM LIFE, been there done that!! Constant move back and forth, no room for a toothbrush let alone a record player and speakers!! Yeah, you see where this is going....Basically anyone that might need a portable turntable but UNDERSTANDS that this is what THEY need and the expectations need to match the purpose!Favorite features: size, its small enough to fit anywhere your records do, price, battery operated, 6 D size batteries.

Dieser mobile Spieler ist einfach klasse. Natürlich kann er einem festen richtigen Plattenspieler von der Klangleistung her nicht das Wasser reichen, aber er ist zum mitnehmen und das ist klasse. Ein mobiler Lautsprecher an den AUX Anschluss geklinkt und ab geht's :)

Il est peu encombrant. Il est facile à transporter.Mais très stable.Disques vieux ou neufs, tout passe !! Rien ne saute.

Já tive uma controladora na Numark e ela está se parabéns com o toca discos. Leve ,prático ,bonito .
