Steepletone USB Norwich Retro Record Player with Radio and MP3 Playback - Darkwood

Steepletone USB Norwich Retro Record Player with Radio and MP3 Playback - LightwoodDespite previous reviews we are very pleased with our recent purchase. I have put a line out (from the back of the record player) and plugged the other end of the jack into my iPod speakers. The jack - jack connection cost little more than £1.00. With the combination of all the speakers the sound is magnificent!! My husband is a sixties child and is more than happy to listen to his vast collection of lp's as they were listened to when he bought most of them - though it's nice to have the choice. The radio is good and the SD card and USB additions are a nice touch. This means the aging hippie, his cougar wife and the teenager from hell can all benefit from this unit. Re the 'wobbly turntable - this happened to me. It's because the record only just fits the turntable (33rpm). There isn't any room for error. It fits under the part which raises the arm - not on top! We think this has had a lot of bad reviews because Joe public (as usual, expect £300 worth of gear for £60 or there abouts. With a bit of time, thought and imagination you too could house this unit which looks lovely and is well worth the money paid.

I received this player 3 days after I had ordered it and I am extremely pleased with what came out of the box.The wood seems of a good quality and the front panel looks nice and retro. The SD/USB input and controls are on the left and are sufficiently hidden.The speakers are great for what they are, at the moment I am only using the internal speakers but have bought a mini amp(for £8 on amazon) and will connect two bookshelf speakers to it when I have a few people over at the house and it needs to be louder.As of yet I have not tried the USB input and probably wont but its nice to have the option.The records play great and the action on the arm does not feel so cheap it will just snap at a wrong move.I have not yet used the subwoofer and line out ports yet but will be.All in all I love this and it is a steal at the price. I have spent quite a bit of money on vinyls recently, it has become a bit of an addiction.

This is an excellent vinyl player from my experience, I have it about a month now and no problems so far. The case is attractive and stylish. However I would have slight concerns that the turntable is a bit flimsy, while I haven't had any problems yet I anticipate some in future, although I could be wrong. The speakers are excellent, loud and very clear. All in all quite a good vinyl player for the money you pay

It took me the best part of 6 months to decide to buy this, I had been looking to get onboard the vinyl revolution for a while but the players always seemed pricey and id heard the cheap ones can damage your records, I eventually took the plunge and havnt looked back.Firstly the player screams vintage which is what I wanted but still has some modern tech built in like the USB port should you need it, the speakers are not great but do the job, you can easily use your own external speakers if u wanted to.The player is easy to use even for someone like me who did not have a clue what I was doing at first.Personally I think this is great price for what you get and is ideal for a start up.Now ive gotta buy all the vinyl I can, but thats hardly a chore

When we first opened the package and wentto turn on the player it didn't not work. And continued to not work. So I requested to return the product via Amazon and it said the seller would contact me within 48hours about how to return the product! I am waiting on the seller to get back to me yet (1 week later). However, fortunately, we actually managed to get the player to work! Thank goodness. As it was looking like I had just wasted £75! And my boyfriend wasn't going to receive his christmas present! So, if you are purchasing this product, let's hope it works for you, as the seller clearly doesn't respond to "return requests". However,... on the plus side. The record player is really good quality and definitely looks the part and the sound is good. Fingers crossed it continues to work!!

Okay so here goes.All the vinyl players on Amazon seem to have mixed reviews, regardless of price (I speak of those ranged as low as £33-£200) I did my research and for those only looking for something to listen to their old vinyls then you don't have to spend a lot to get a player for them. This vinyl player however is just completely wrong. I have tested it on new and 2nd vinyl records and it skips and jumps all the time. It seems it cannot play anything I want it too. I have an old Sony vinyl player (I borrowed off a friend) tested that one with the same vinyls and it works perfectly fine!I do like the look, which is properly why you are on this page yourself. You want not only a vinyl player, but one that will look nice with the rest of your home. Its radio player, yes fine it works. The comments from other reviewers about it's poor sound only holds true with the vinyl player, the radio sound is pretty good. BUT I DIDN'T BUY IT FOR THE RADIO PLAYER OR THE MP3/SD PLAYBACK (which I haven't tested yet) I got it to play my vinyl records and I cannot seem to do that.I even have vinyl cleaning products so I can make sure I've taken off as much dust of the vinyl as possible. And shet I wear gloves when I handle the vinyl records. I reduce as much human contact to the vinyl record as possible and crap. I know it's not me it's this player. DON'T BUY IT!IT IS GOING BACK INTO THE BOX AND I AM SHIPPING IT OFF. GREAT THAT I GOT IT EXPRESS DELIVERY SO I COULD HAVE IT FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT NOPE NO PLAYING FOR ME!

OK, so the sound quality is not the very best in the world; if you want that then you should expect to pay a lot more, but for the cost it is an excellent little unit and better than a previous purchase which cost more. My daughter is delighted with it and plays her Beatles records almost all day. And, what's more, it looks absolutely brilliant.
