 ok portability but awful soundMay 31, 2010
I was looking for something simple to enable me to continue to play records as i was in a rather nomadic lifestyle at the time so I bought this apparently perfect-for-what-I-wanted little numark. If you're wanting a turntable for anything other than reviewing records whilst digging around your local thrift store or yard sales, or listening to old mono 10"s in the garden on balmy summer afternoons then you'd do better looking elsewhere. There are a couple of different output options on the side, all of which are controlled by the volume knob on the top. For instance if you want to hook this up to a mixer you'd use the rca output which isn't a direct line- its still controlled by the volume, as are the two headphone outputs which also cut out the rca if you try to use them at the same time.
The battery power option is cool though and the small, secure turtle shell lid is great for mobility but after a couple of weeks the clip holding the flimsy tone-arm in place broke off. As for the stylus itself its cheap sounding and nasty- no better than what you'd find on one of those old fashioned repro hifi combo's they sell in places like Bed Bath & Beyond or Target. The tone arm doesn't jump about but there is so much vibration that you can hear the records almost as loud when you have the volume turned down. When hooked up to a mixer and amp the sound is thin and missing that great low end that makes vinyl junkies all wobbly inside.
to be honest I wish I'd spent a few more dollars and bought one of numarks larger, more solid turntables.
If you're a dj that bought one of these then your mates have probably given you enough grief already..
 Turntable is uneven.Feb 05, 2010
I bought this for my roommate as a Christmas/graduation present. When she opened it and threw a record on we noticed a distortion in the sound which we initially attributed to the record being warped. Several more records later and we discovered that the felt on the turntable was unevenly applied, causing a "hump" in the record's path under the needle, distorting the music. To be fair, we haven't contacted the manufacturer yet to see if this is something that could be repaired or replaced. It's still disappointing to give a gift that's nonfunctional however.
Good if you don't mind workNov 30, 2009
I'm a retired teacher, with lots of time and vinyl but not much money, so I bought this turntable to digitize my collection because it was the lowest price I could find. I really can't complain, because it does the one thing I wanted, sending the signal into my computer. There was a promise from the maker that the software would automatically divide the tracks and take me online to get info about each track, but the "EZ Vinyl Tape Converter" shipped with the unit just isn't capable of such things. It takes you online to a site that claims to have information one can have for a price (see above, "not much money"), and it never, ever got the tracks sorted out correctly. I have to do that myself pretty well by hand, using Audacity. Do I care? Not really, because I have lots of time. If your time is precious, maybe you should buy something more upscale; but if you're like me and just want your old vinyl digitized for minimum cost, this is what you need.
Good for portable, very bad for archival purposes.Jun 16, 2009
First of all, the $279 Price Tag can't be right. I bought this at Guitar Center for $60.
It's pretty decent for a portable turntable if you want to take something small and light out to the record store to sample some music before you buy. It has a decent built in speaker/headphone jack/and RCA outputs. This is nice for when you want to listen to records somewhere other than where your main stereo set up is.
As far as archiving, this is a piece of junk. If you really don't care about preserving all the great quality from your vinyl then you won't mind but this thing can't really handle most music. Also, the program it comes with kind of sucks.
I would recommend spending a decent amount of money on a heavier turn table and upgrading the sound card on your computer if you care about quality. Even if you decide to buy this, don't pay more than $75.
 Nostalgia TimeMay 05, 2009
Very reasonable price. Comes with USB cable and necessary software, which I was not expecting. I used the machine to transfer old 78 records to CD. Some of these records dated to the early 1900's. The results were excellent. The machine has input jacks for connecting a tape player to put cassettes onto CD.
