CR8005D-TU Cruiser Deluxe Portable 3-Speed Turntable with Bluetooth, Turquoise

Love what I got . It’s amazing

I bought this from Amazon.IN for a friend in India. Guess what? The seller never disclosed it uses USA POWER! (110v/60Hz!)... the turntable motor will BURN OUT over time if you don't also buy a voltage converter! Whoops! I wonder how that could've been missed on the listing. Luckily the Indian friend noticed this and asked me about it and I shipped her the required adapter. BAD LISTING TECHNIQUE, PEOPLE. If you're listing a product on Indian Amazon, I think it's a good idea to declare if it is shipped with a power adapter from another county!

As described, original item affordable item

Ex- Girlfriend loved it and when we reconnected 4 years later she still had and used it in her room 🥹

Well, I've finally found a good quality portable Record Player! Have no illusions; companies no longer make good quality portable record decks - these went out decades ago, and I'm surprised at anyone out there even thinking they are going to get even a reasonably good quality sound from any of these modern portable record players you see available - whatever you pay. As records have long since ceased to be the predominant format for the reproduction of music, this will always be the case Okay; so they are coming back, (records that is) but it's still digital music now that people seem to care about. However; what I personally was looking for in a portable player, was not something I'd trust with my prized vinyl collection - I have a huge HI FI system for that, but something portable and easy to pull out for when I often purchase a vintage 78 record, as I own several mechanical gramophones and thus do possess a fair collection of 78s. There are times however, when it's not always convenient or possible to crank up my gramophone, and whilst they are the best type of players for giving true reproduction for this medium, I thought it would be useful to have something `simple' to pull out as explained, and to switch on in an instant. Before purchasing this Crosley model, I'd already purchased two or three others which I need to get around to reviewing that I had to return; they were such cheap, nasty and poorly packaged (and I don't mean by the people who sold them - but the manufacturers!) and were generally a load of crap... Now, I repeat; if you're looking for something to play your prized collection of 45s and 33s, or a reasonably good sound to listen to and to enjoy, do not look at any of these portables for that - you will never be satisfied, even though sound quality (if you can call it that) may vary slightly from model to model. However; if like me, you want only to play 78s, then you won't find better than this one! It's SUPERB! The others I'd had just highlighted the `hiss' and surface noise inevitable on an old 78 record - the volume level was SO low (even on its highest output position) one could not hear the recording adequately over this. Okay; so I do sometimes have to have this Crosley model at full volume, but even when you don't, you can still hear the recording above the `hiss'. But most of all, the quality of this product is second to none! It came BEAUTIFULLY boxed, BEAUTIFULLY packed (from the factory) - even the plastic bags had folded corners in them! It also came with a separate turntable mat which at least tells you they know you care about your records! Plenty of polystyrene for protection in transit. The build and leatherette effect is SUPER , and as I am SO unlucky; if there's anything with a mark, dent or damage out there - I always get it, and so I took a very big risk in purchasing the lightest colour available because I liked it, but there was not a single, dent, mark, flaw of any kind! If only you knew how much stuff I get with this kind of fault, you would realise my amazement! This really looked as if the people who made it actually cared about their reputation, and that it got to you in PERFECT condition! This also has a lot ore plusses than the previous ones I'd had that I'd returned had not got; for instance, it sounds even better with headphones - the others didn't. I can also plug a lead into my MP3 player and convert the records I play - these valuable 78s into digital format - then upload them to my computer, and make CDs and so I can have permanent copies in case any of my valuable 78s ever get broken or damaged! I also hunted out a pair of speakers from my very first PC that I still had in the loft - and plugged these in, and it sounded absolutely amazing, which means at least that if nothing else, they've put a far better cartridge/pick up in this model than any of the others I'd had... I could go on and on, but how you would view this for playing 45s and 33s for enjoyment and pleasure, as they are recorded using more modern facilities, is for you to decide... This will not really produce any bass... (which I love) You may want to chance it, but as I said at the outset; for what I wanted, this could NOT be bettered for me! I'm actually quite moved by the fact they even included a 78 speed facility, as I should imagine very few people indeed in this modern world would even own a 78 record - let alone wish to hear them play, and so I am suitable delighted and grateful to Crosley for this! For the reasons and purposes I have highlighted, I would recommended this model above all others to everyone and anyone without hesitation! There's far less plastic involved in the build of this one, the on/off switch feels quality and won't give out. No fancy gimmicks like added radios you don't need, buttons or plasticky add-ons - what you see is what you get. After the pieces of trash I'd had previously from the numerous models out there - I'm SO glad I came across this little gem! A million stars from me! (remember; for what it is - for what it costs and the times of terrible taste we now live in...) IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember to NEVER use a stylus - even after only one use on a 78 record on a 45 or 33; it will instantly damage them due to the nature of vinyl. On old players they used to `flip over' for this reason - now you have to change the stylus each time.

ずっと気になっていた商品です。 見た目も可愛く、インテリアとしてもばっちりです。 低評価が目立っていたので、不安だったのですが、問題なく再生することが出来ました。

Volume: I read some reviews regarding the turntable being too soft and was a little worried. But after receiving it, I was surprised that it is actually pretty loud as compared to what I had imagined. Afterall it is a portable turntable with built-in speakers, and I think it is perfect for a fairly large room acoustic. In the first place, you obviously wouldn't be buying a 'portable' turntable if you're looking for loud professional sound. Anyway you can always connect it to some external speaker for volume. I also think that the fair quality of the speakers actually help to give the music an old rustic sound, which I love it. Design: I got the pink one and I can say that it is a really pretty object to just put it at a corner as a display in your room too. However it will be great if there is somewhere in the box to keep the power supply wire, but that isn't much of an issue for me. Function: I couldn't get it to work at first until I finally figure it out after a day of troubleshooting test and googling, that the provided American power plug wouldn't work here in Singapore(and probably in Europe too). That is because the socket voltage in our countries are at least 230v while it is only at 120v in USA. I actually heard a 'pop' at first when I used the provided plug and I think it will actually damage the turntable as the voltage it too high(almost twice!). Just purchase an additional power converter adapter or a new 120v plug and you will be fine. Another thing is that after using the turntable for a couple of days, the player just suddenly plays music slightly slowly and everything was out of tune. For a moment I panic and thought that it is the end of its lifetime. However I found out that because the cover was leaning against the wall a little, causing part of the cover to be in contact, rubbing against the vinyl. You have to open the cover fully making sure that it is not leaning against anything as it is just a matter of a few mm for the record to touch the cover. Service Before finding out the cause of the vinyl turning slower, I actually emailed them(ivystore) about my concerns.(even thought I found the issue a few minutes after emailing them) I just want to emphasize that their service team is totally awesome. They replied me within the next 48 hours and gave me some helpful troubleshooting after contacting the technical support for this turntable. Shipping I had it shipped across the globe to Singapore and it came neatly in its original crosley packaging box and everything was properly secured. Worked perfect too. Overall, I really like it and would recommend it to anyone who would like to get some simple vinyl action going in their room without the hassle of purchasing external speakers and connecting them around. For the price of about $150(after shipping), I seriously couldn't ask for more. Customers who are going to nick-pick about something as affordable and pretty as this, just... go away. :)
