Insignia™ - Bluetooth Stereo Turntable - Black - Open Box - Fair

An amazing turntable for someone who's just getting into the hobby! Easy to set up, sounds great, and is affordable without cutting costs!. Would highly recommend to anyone who is starting their vinyl journey and is on a budget. I do suggest, however, that you read up on properly setting up the counterweight, although the manual also goes into pretty good detail.

So what I upgraded from is that suitcase record player on the left of the Insignia turntable in the center. Exactly one year ago today I started my vinyl collection and bought that portable record player loving my new hobby. What I didn’t realize was that not only was I cheating myself out of audio quality, but also hours of stress trying to understand why new or unscratched albums would continue to skip over and over. The Insignia turntable may be a budget player, however it sounds phenomenal with my bookshelf speakers and is by far the most inexpensive turntable to have a counterweight and anti skate. I would highly recommend this turntable for anyone that doesn’t need a $500 record player or usb function to rip your albums. If you are looking for a great budget turntable this is it!

Affordable and easy to use with a Bluetooth device whether it be headphones, speakers, soundbars it works flawlessly. Easy setup with a easy to read manual. I enjoy using it

Plays great, manually adjustable, and has flexible output options. I was originally going to go with an automatic audiotechnica table, but went with this one because enthusiasts recommended a manual table with not control like this. It still has all the features I really wanted and at a much lower price ($90 on sale). The feet have springs to help isolate the turn table from external vibrations, and it's got a nice heavy, well built feeling to it. Bluetooth, headphone, and normal analog audio output are all options. The only thing I don't like is that the felt mat leaves fuzzies on the side of the record that's laying against it. Not sure if that'll affect the playback or the needle, etc over time.

I love this turntable! This truly is a fantastic entry level turntable as unlike other entry level models you get an adjustable counterweight, anti skate, and an upgradable stylus. There is also an optical sensor that helps maintain the proper motor speed. The turntable is not automatic but does have an auto stop feature which stops the spinning when the stylus hits the end of the record. This means no worries about wearing down your stylus if you forget to stop the table (or fall asleep while listening!). The built in phono amp means you don’t need a preamp to connect to powered speakers. But if you have the equipment, you can switch to line out and connect to an external preamp. The headphone jack is great for private listening and Bluetooth capability is nice to have, but nothing beats the analog experience. Aesthetically, the table looks great. The smoked dust over looks very 70’s. It comes with an AT3600 conical stylus. The headshell is not removable but you can replace/upgrade the cartridge. It comes with an extra belt as well which is a nice touch. Toss the felt mat though and get an acrylic one. The felt attracts dust and static! I have this connected to a pair of Edifier powered speakers and it sounds great! As someone who is just getting into records I find this suits my needs perfectly! I like it so much that I purchased one for a relative who is also just getting into records.
