The player was awesome. None of my records were damaged by the player, and the speed never seemed to waver.
I'll be buying a crosley next, and if that one craps out I would probably buy another Numark. I gave it one star for every year of enjoyment I got.
On nearly the second anniversary of receiving this player, the table stopped spinning. The sound was pretty good for a built-in speaker.
I just wish it hadn't have broken in the first place. I called Numark and since it was out of warranty there was nothing they could do for me.
It one of my favorite belongings.
I get pitch-perfect speed when using just the AC adapter -or- just batteries.Ah, Numark PT01. It seems like the RPMs are more apt to drop when in this configuration. It's held up very well over the past 80 or so hours of usage, even after being toted around and tossed about.HOWEVER, however, as others have mentioned, there is a very noticeable audio quality difficiency with certain frequencies. you're such a neat, neat record player. I haven't taken the plunge and replaced the stylus (or even the whole cartridge), because that'd be about 40% of the cost of the entire unit right there. I want to love this little Numie, I really, REALLY do.
And somehow, it manages to get HUGE sound out of its little built-in speaker. It's absolutely not a dealbreaker, as it's super-easy to pop out the batteries when you're not using them, but I thought I'd mention it for anyone else experiencing the same issue. It fits perfectly in a record crate, and has an overall good feel to it. If I knew for sure that that'd solve the problem, though, I'd go for it.Another odd quirk is trying to play records with the unit plugged in and batteries installed. Why can't you just sound a little better. It can run for quite a long time off of batteries, which is neat.
It's apparent when using the built-in speaker, and totally overwhelming when using headphones or recording (and don't worry, I tried all the outputs, at all different levels with types of equipment).
Those who are disappointed by the fact that they cannot hook it up to their stereo would do well to read the name of the product; Numark PT01 Portable Turntable. This is a great little turntable. I have had it about two years and have never had a problem with it.
it has a very tinny sound no depth at all do not be cheap when it comes to purchasing a record player if your looking at this to buy to play on your house stereo you will probably be disappointed this is a portable player and should be used as such.
This turntable works great and connects easily with any speaker system that you may have. Now since last year I have been looking for a turntable to use for my lp collection and I have found just what I was looking for.
