CrosleyRSD3 MINI TURNTABLE-SILVER

Llegó en tiempo

I’ve had my eye on these since Record Store Day earlier this year, and I finally bought one, and I love it. My local record store has these in stock occasionally, and the records seems to be pretty hot commodities. I have collected about a dozen titles so far, and according to my local store, there are plans for many more. The Thirdman release with Jack White is my favorite. The turntable itself doesn’t come with the records. I believe they did one with a Foo Fighters record on Record Store Day, but that seems to have sold-out. Mine arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I had it playing in about two minutes after unpacking. It runs on 4AA batteries, but also connects via mini-USB to just about anything for power. I ran it off my laptop at work, showing it off to some friends and co-workers. Here’s the funny thing, it’s comically small. Tiny even. It only plays 3” records, but it’s built like a serious turntable. It’s pretty obvious they were going after the looks of a Technics 1200, and they nailed it. I never realized it until I bought it, but it has an Audio-Technica cartridge, which alone usually costs fifteen to twenty dollars. It has belt drive and pitch control for plus and minus about 15% or so. Everything is totally manual, but I can’t imagine trying to make an automatic arm this size. It came with the cords I needed to both hook it in my portable speaker and home system and will connect with an Aux or RCA input jack. When you listen to these records through the built-in tiny speaker, you really don’t get much, and it does sound like a toy. When you hook it up to your home system or quality speaker, it shines. Literally, I’ve had people listen in amazement. It’s vinyl, and it sounds like vinyl. My only complaint is the motor should be quieter, as there is a tiny hum you can hear when turning it on. I don’t hear it through the amp or speaker, but it’s there. The turntable will surprise you to the upside if you connect it to a decent system. If you are looking for an audiophile experience, it’s not that. But it’s fun, cool, and not expensive. I have a release from Epitaph Records that has the Interrupters and Rancid, that really do sound amazing. I’ve heard the songs are limited to about three minutes, and they are all one-sided from what I can tell. I hope these stick-around awhile, as the discs are great to collect and have all come with a poster or some type of artwork by the artist. I keep my Mini next to my Technics unit at home and it’s fun to show off. I’d buy it again, and I’ll likely be giving a few of them for Christmas presents this year.

Cannot find recordsTo play itVery very few records selectionsHave a nice day

Para ser un producto muy frágil NO le tuvieron el mínimo de cuidado solo lo pusieron en una bolsa y haci lo enviaron, la caja llegó super maltratada

The tracking weight is far too high. The record will not spin without major assistance. By taping a quarter and 2 small washers to the counterweight I was able to get it to work 40% of the time. Using some electrical tape to attach the spacer to the record and then poke a hole for the spindle was able to force it to play 100% of the time.I will take the stylus off this to use on my actual turntable when it is needed, other than that, this will sit on a shelf with the Steven Universe 3 inch record that I bought.
