I do not know yet how long 6 batteries last. It is plastic, lightweight, and easy to use, but maybe not as heavy and solid as some folks would want.
You really need to plug into speakers as the built-in speaker is very quiet. This turntable works great.
Warning, it will make you want to buy new vinyl too. We hooked it up to some M-Audio Studiophle AV 40 powered speakers and it sounds fantastic (you can also plug your ipod into these speakers).
I have been listening to my old records like crazy. It is great for trying out vinyl in the store, very portable with batteries, but certainly heavier.
It's fun.
What i'm a bit worry about is about getting the spare stylus. After looking for a Portable turntable for my record "digging" excursions, found this piece of equipment which seems to be pretty small, but actually it has a lot of power. It has everything a record digger DJ needs: battery powered, fits in a Dj record bag, it has "ins" for headphone jacks and "outs" for mixer or amp, and it has a build in speaker. I looked around Venezuelan Market and have not find it yet and probably I won't; so it might not be that easy to get the spare.In general, it's a good portable turntable (I even played house music on it in a small party with some friends) for a reasonable price. Just make sure you buy few spare stylus, just in case.
The sound is clear. I like to hear the old style music of Rod Stewart. Now I can listen to it. the set up is easy. The Rod Stewart rocks.
A portable turntable that runs on batteries, is lightweight, has two headphone jacks and a pitch control, AND plays 78's.this baby rocks.Now, I had the same issue that many had with the face plate coming unglued and rubbing on the records while playing. I've been happy ever since. But, I simply put some super glue in there and haven't had a single problem since. I originally bought one of the Crosley portable turntables and it quit working in the first two weeks, so I returned it and got the Numark. A final word--this isn't audiophile quality. But, for under 100 bucks, you're not going to get that from any turntable.
Mine came today and I was very excited because I have a fair number of 78s and this is one of the few reasonably priced turntables that will play them (or is so advertised.).Unfortunately, it is junk. The top is coming off just like noted in some of the other reviews, and either the belt is loose or the motor is shot because it not only does not play at a consistent speed, but even if it did it would not be at the right speeds.with the pitch compensation at a full 10% positive, it barely reaches the stated rpms. I tried both 33s and 78s, and the AC adapter.Now I am going to have to go to the hassle of returning it to Amazon and waiting for a (more expensive) replacement. I sure doubt it will be a Numark.
