- Audio-Technica AT-SB727-YL Portable Turntable, Yellow

Audio technica has been around for decades, I am old enough to remember the 70s 80s 90s and all the fun cartridges they released and now their turntables in the recent decades known for their quality and consumer friendly prices, well some of the time. This portable player was released in the 80s and it had a short run back then it was a nice player to have it was so way ahead of its time. And now just the last few years they re-released it and decided to call it the sound burger the original name they gave it in the 80s. But this one is far better than that one this one here has an auxiliary output to connect it to your stereo or powered speakers and it also has Bluetooth out it connects to your Bluetooth speakers. I wish it had a volume control to use it with standard headphones but it does not however you can use it with Apple or almost any other brand Bluetooth headphones. I usually connected to my JBL speaker or beats headphones. It comes with a great magnetic phono cartridge that will not destroy your records like some of the cheap portables available that are known to damage records but not this one it plays nice and smooth and sounds great it is made with high-quality parts and it is just a looker let me tell you the yellow is striking and I get lots of compliments on it when I play it out in public. If you're someone who has a home stereo and a larger turntable but wants something to play in the den or in your bedroom or garage this would be the player for you, I use it when I go out hunting used records and I want to test a record before I buy it this is the perfect thing to take with you just make sure it's connected to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. It doesn't come with any kind of protection or case so I had to purchase a case separately, there is one that is official and it looks like a hamburger container like the ones they used make at McDonald's for the big Mac! But they are also some budget friendly options if you don't want the big Mac container case. It plays 45 RPM and 33 RPM, so it plays your full-size 12 inch albums it plays 10 inch records and it plays 7 inch records with a big hole and a little hole. It runs on USB-C cable and it also has a rechargeable built-in battery that gives you a lot of playtime. I believe it is available in yellow black and white they had a very limited edition one a few years ago that came out in red but that one is no longer made I hope future additions will give us the ability to have USB flash drive recording built-in so that you can digitize your records without hooking it up to a computer this is a feature that I would love with a high-quality player like this. I hope future updates will have this feature

I remember these things from back in the mid to late 80s and early 90s, very cool little unit; old school definitely but with a high tech twist; excellent quality not like those other cheap box units that tear up your records. This is high quality stuff and should provide years of enjoyment. I bought this for my teenage daughter and she really loves It. I got the yellow one, because if and when they stop making them, that’s the color which is going to be a collector’s item. The sound quality is just as good as my high-end turntable that cost over $4000. This little unit really delivers with the added bonus of Bluetooth, you couldn’t ask for anything more. And the portability makes it great for choice for young people who are now just discovering vinyl; because they can take the player with them and a few 45’s that are still in production with some of the current artists they listen to and the parties on!

The sound burger is a really cool device. I’m a minimalist with more records than other items and I was in the need of something a bit more lightweight and functional for my personal needs. I’m a bit of a nomad too. Carrying around my metal plate AT turntable had become cumbersome over the years. The Sound Burger is super lightweight, easy to use, has fantastic clarity when connected through AUX or Bluetooth. (I needed to purchase a Bluetooth transmitter for MY setup.) It’s sturdy and I haven’t had it skip at all. It has REPLACED my record player set up and I look forward to playing more vinyl. Priced under $200, why would you not buy this? — I updated the stylus too.

Great sound. Works awesomely. Portable. No 72 RPM though, just 33.3 and 45.

Awesome lil portable record player, my only complaint is it skips easily so just be careful to not walk or dance with a heavy step around it! Sound quality is pretty nice! It was easy to set up and learn how to use aswell!

I love the Sound Burger! It's a cool, retro-style record player. The cartridge/needle is replaceable, and the belt driven platter can be easily taken apart and replaced if it dies. The Bluetooth works with some speakers but doesn't work automatically with some of my other speakers; however, it has a 3.5mm Line output for speakers if Bluetooth doesn't work. While many audiophiles say this isn't the "best" player for high fidelity audio, I think it works well enough for Bluetooth setups. It sounds really good for the price. A great Bluetooth player and a good budget player for people just getting into records. It also has a very small footprint when not in use. I love mine in yellow!

So far I've only played a few albums but the Bluetooth works with three different headphones and two different portable speakers. One thing that really impressed me was it's ability to play a very warped kids record. (See attached video.) I do want to caution everyone that I purchased the Audio-Technica ATN3600LE Elliptical Replacement and Upgrade Stylus Needle at the same time and installed it right away while setting up the turntable. I had just received two new LPs I wanted to listen to. Both records skipped so severely I was afraid it would damage my new vinyl so I removed the "upgrade" stylus and reinstalled the one it came with. Now, so far, every record plays fine. It's like the new needle threw off the "tracking force" because the needle jumped several times until it got past a few tracks them settled down to play the record. There weren't any instructions for adjustments that would have to be made with either the soundburger or the stylus. I had one of these turntables a long time ago. My first one used batteries, size C if memory serves, and needed replaced when they were drained. So that was one more thing to lug along when taking it on trips. I like that I can charge this one and the Bluetooth is a godsend. I had to use wired headphones back then. I'm hoping that the upgrade stylus was a fluke or defective item. Because my reason for buying this new turntable is to take it when I visit family with kids to show them how I played my music when I was their age. Way before cellphone or mp3 players, heck way before CDs even.

A great little player, add a good Bluetooth speaker or headphones and it makes a great system that takes up very little space
