    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Good idea, poor implementation and, compared to slightly more expensive turntables, far inferior not only aurally but also visually.

    Don't get me wrong - of course you can't compare such a compact player (which is quite     cheap for a turntable) with high-end, top-designed, "gold-plated-jack-and-swarovski-diamond-needle-with-real-carrara-marble" turntables. And yet, I would recommend spending more money, saving up, and buying a real record player for twice the price (or even more, if you like). Unfortunately, the disadvantage (especially in the lower price range) is that you still have to buy a phono amplifier (which is available in many brokis).

    But if you want to get into the vinyl business easily and cheaply (as I once did) and just want to rummage through your parents' dusty and scratched record collection at home (and at best digitise it), this system is the right choice.

    It's just a shame if you buy brand-new records and then damage them with a thing like this the very first time and still want to appreciate the audio quality.

    It's not a bad product per se, it just serves in the lower (to lowest) ranges in terms of quality and price range.
    So you don't get my purchase recommendation for this hundred-franc record scratcher, I regret this purchase in the meantime, as I have also acquired higher demands (and new records) among other things - however, everyone must discover or know it for themselves personally.     

    Pro

    • Built-in amplifier (can therefore be used with external speakers via cinch or 3.5 mm jack)
    • Compact design (in case anyone with a turntable really needs it)
    • Both record types "scratchable" (singles & LPs)
    • Built-in rechargeable battery, system can also be used during charging
    • Automatic needle arm to be secured for transport
    • Volume control and on/off indicator light
    • You can digitise the records using the USB cable supplied.

    Contra

    • Needle has no counterbalance/balance weight (plates therefore break much faster)
    • Quality of the needle most likely reflected in the price
    • When listening to LP records, the lid cannot be closed (but this is possible with single records).
    • Built-in speakers not usable at all (in my opinion)
