This Record Player!Love Love Love it. It has All you need in it. CD Player, Cassette Player, Radio And Record Player.What more could you ask for.Bought the lighter color to match my Apartment decor. WOW!

OMG! It is even more beautiful in person than shown in photo's! Everything works well, it was packaged well nd arrived on time. I think it is so pretty! I was torn between the black one and the light one because I always wanted a linnen Record pklayer in beige but I don't like light colored wood. I thought I was settling to get the beige linnen but when I took it out of the box I smiled imediatly! The wood is not so light that it washes it out but is a shde darker than I was expecting and very attractive with the black front and beige linnen. I wanted a box style with linnen and I got that and a lot more! Love it!

It works perfectly and the appearance is so nice. My wife loves it and is so happy with it. I think it is a good value for the price. Very easy to use.

To satisfy both types of review readers, here's both a super short review, and a thorough as possible review.SUPER SHORT REVIEW: I adore this thing. Everything works perfectly and it sounds wonderful, even before connecting it to external speakers. Loses just one star because of a few tiny cosmetic flaws as well as no true super low volume setting. Unless you're a REALLY uptight audiophile, it's totally worth the price, especially when it's on sale!_______DETAILED REVIEW: I upgraded to this because my other player is a standalone portable turntable, and I have a CD collection that I haven't used in years and wanted to go back to. Having read through previous reviews, I was initially a little nervous about having chosen this particular model; seeing people talk about the needle skipping or saying that the build quality sucks and/or has anemic internal speakers. So when I got this, I was sort of bracing for what would come out of the box.I set it up on the little stand that you see in the photos and hooked everything in, including a nice external speaker system I use for my work computer (yes I tested the player with and without it, I'll get to that shortly). The instructions are in perfect English and easy to understand. There is a thin, loose wire that runs out the back of the player, which turned out to be the antenna for the radio (SO PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH IT). I flipped the surprisingly tactile-y satisfying power switch to the ON position, and everything powered up just as expected.I went through each of the modes (except AUX) to test, first trying out the turntable. The speed is just right and buttery smooth. The records were nice and level when spinning, and no, I did NOT need a coin to keep the tonearm from dancing about the player. I'm not sure why others have needed it, perhaps it was either a defective unit or user error, as I doubt very much the performance of mine is the outlier.I first tested it without external speakers. The internal bass is surprisingly good, and the overall sound is full and not hollow at all, albeit a little directionally pointed since there's no speakers on the side of the unit. But ya'll, I tried it with the external speaker system added, and MY GOD the sound is fantastic! The internal and external speakers work together to create this amazing surround sound effect, and the level of detail you can pick out within the sound is *chef's kiss*. I know what I just said will likely make certain audiophiles REALLY mad, as there's this prevailing belief that the only way to have the best sound experience is to spend a minimum of high hundreds if thousands on a system. While I consider myself an audiophile too, but if I'm being honest, at least when comparing this Empire model to super pricey setups I've experienced in the past, you're not missing THAT much in the way of sound quality. Besides, no one should bankrupt themselves on a sound system before even buying music for it.So, the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The unit, for as wonderful as it is, it ain't perfect, for two reasons. The first thing is the volume knob. I think the volume adjustment is digital rather than analog, and for some reason, the space between the first and second notch is completely silent, as opposed to outputting a really soft level. The external speakers compensate for this, but it shouldn't have to in my opinion. The second reason is the trim. On the large surface areas of the unit, it feels very nice. But while I of course knew that the wood trim was fake, I was under the impression that the edges of the unit would be completely wrapped, which it's not. A lot of areas do this flat and rigged application like home builders use for cheap countertop lamination. Because of this, the edges make you feel like you have to be careful when brushing your fingers across them so's not to rip up the trim. As shown in the third photo, this application has also caused a couple of tiny splits and wrinkles. Thankfully, they're on the back and VERY tiny, so they're basically invisible at any distance further than 12 inches. I'm someone who baby's their belongings anyway, so I know it's going to look just fine for as long as I own it.Guys, trust me when I say I don't regret this purchase at all. I friggin LOVE it, and it's going to get many years of use.

AMAZING!! What a great purchase. I'm on cloud nine right now. Sound is clear and crisp. I pulled out the old vinyls, sound amazing!!

Better than expected

Bought this for my dad for Father's Day. The sound is excellent, especially since he is hard of hearing. The record table looked really loose with a large gap, but still played once you figured out how. The knobs and dials are pretty cheap feeling, but whatever, we love the overall look.HOWEVER, the CD player did not work. I called Amazon support and I don't know if the rep had no idea what a record or a CD is...but I repeated multiped times that the record plays perfectly and the CD doesn't work, but their troubleshooting idea (even after consulting with a manager) was to "check the belt for why the table won't turn". I never said that the table wouldn't turn and had to explain yet again that the turntable/record works and CD's are digital...and do not need a belt to work!Then the rep tells me that this item was discontinued and I purchased a refurbished "Used-Good condition" item. I would never have purchased that and was looking very closely to make sure I got a new item when I purchased because I didn't want something refurbished. When I became irate, he then said he could offer me a full refund which should post to my card in 3-5 business days and I could drop off the return at UPS. I informed him I no longer had the original packaging so I asked that the instructions be for UPS to package. He confirmed all of these things would happen.After the call, my QR code states that *I* must package and label the item and that a refund would be issued when they receive it.I then came back to this page, where lo and behold, a bunch of the item were in stock...BRAND NEW! I had paid $99.00 at the time for mine, and now they are charging $165! For something that was supposedly discontinued and used/refurbished only.I then went to Victrola's website, and the very first image on the page is this item, on sale for $129. and for first time customers, a 10% discount. I was able to purchase a BRAND NEW item from the manufacturer for $125.Be careful what you buy and when you have the chance to purchase direct from the company, do it! Amazon will cheat you where it can.
