  Looks nice, however "In contrast to most turntables, which have a tracking weights of around 2-3g, the Crosley measures in at over 9g." I wouldn't put a Justin Beiber record on this…

    Hey there, thanks very much for your feedback. In fairness to Crosley, we've sold numerous of these players over the past 6 months, and have only had an issue reported on one occasion which was remedied with a new replacement unit. These players have proven to be solid performers in our books, though of course we understand that others' experience may differ/mileage can vary.

    We definitely appreciate your thoughts though. :)

      In fairness,the tracking weight of the el-cheapo BSR ceramic cartridges were ~ 4 grams, and the recommended maximum tracking weight for mass produced 33-1/3 microgroove records is 5 grams. The tone-arm has no adjustment whatsoever and is a flimsy plastic beam with a huge amount of side-play at its pivoting arm that is likely to result in about 5% of your output being the rattle of the arm as the point of the lathe you are driving warps and distorts the record. This wasn't too big a thing on 25 cent 45s in the 60's, but a bit more important for someone wanting to try out a current ~ $50 imported pressing of a loved album to find out why there is still a love of the vinyl sound.

      It will scrape some noise of a $2 unit found at a garage sale, and maybe even improve the first playback until the point where it has gouged enough grunge from the track to skip a few, and Grandma/grandad may be touched by the thought if their grandchildren had got them " something they would like form back in their day", but lets not mince words.

      You describe it as a "fantastic record player". You are incompetent, ill-informed, or are happy to mis-represent a worthless piece of shit.

      I definitely appreciate your reply though :)

        Hi there,
        We can definitely respect that you're passionate about this subject matter, though we don't feel it's entirely necessary to resort to insults and ridicule. The deal has been posted for anyone that may be in the market for an inexpensive, Star Wars themed player, which evidently may not be what you're looking for, though one person's perceived 'junk' may be someone else's treasure. This unit doesn't claim to contend with the likes of higher end players, and is therefore priced accordingly. We believe it is a great player for its price point and features.

        Again, we sincerely appreciate your feedback, though would advise that comments are kept relevant to the deal posted without unwarranted insults.

        but lets not mince words.

        Probably should next time. Really detracts from the rest of your point that which is completely valid criticism.

        @eliteelectronics: "would advise that comments are kept relevant"
        I live here. You don't. You are selling a piece of junk that, rather than playing people's records, will actually destroy them. I was actually being polite.
        That you present this piece of fourth-rate garbage as a worthwhile purchase lends the lie to your "elite electronics".

  Are we paying more or less because it has 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' on it?

  $188 and free shipping, an altogether much better option. 4.5 star What HiFi review.
