Victrola - Revolution GO Portable Record Player - Black

Great record player with decent sound, it has an Audio technica cartridge on it so it won’t ruin your records like most inexpensive record players would. Connects fairly easy to an external Bluetooth speaker or headphones and actually sounds pretty good if you use patch cords and connect to a regular receiver and speakers. A good holdover until you can afford a turntable.

I am in love with this record player. The sound is great. It being bluetooth and portable is a plus.

A fun product and useful too. It reminds me of the record player I had as a kid. It was in a suitcase type case and you had to plug it in an outlet to operate. But it weighed a lot, especially for a kid to tote around, and the quality wasn’t good. You had to have your nickel handy to place over the needle so it didn’t skip. Now jump ahead decades and you have the Revolution Go. Smaller than the old version, much lighter (under 7 lbs.) and no nickel required. It plays 33, 45 and 78 records. It comes with a carrying strap, AC adapter, instruction booklet and even the adapter to play 45’s. When I opened the box I could hear a voice. No, it wasn’t in my head. The unit came charged and I must have hit the mode button and it was speaking. The instructions said it takes 4 hours to fully charge and depending on which mode you use; it can last up to 12 hours. First, I tested all of the speeds. They were all accurate and everything sounded great. It was nice to play the old 78’s from my grandpa again. I have a huge 45 collection from old jukeboxes and over 300 albums. The needle cartridge is of excellent quality and really makes this unit excellent. My only complaint is that the unit itself doesn’t have volume control. So if you just want to use it as a phonograph you cannot play it very loud. But connect it via Bluetooth to headphones or a speaker and you can change the volume. It also has headphone jacks. I remember having to listen that way when I was a kid and the cord was so short you had to lay next to the phonograph. The cover will stay open while you use it but I didn’t try it in high wind. I wouldn’t recommend that anyway since there are a lot of vent holes in the unit and both the player and your records would get dirty. The 33 albums extend over the side of the player while in use and the 78’s do a little. The cover is removable and can hold up to 5 albums. When the record finishes playing, the turntable stops so you don’t have excessive needle wear. A nice feature. Sound quality is very good. I played everything from classical to hard rock and the Revolution Go handled it all. The old portable players all sounded scratchy, such a huge improvement. The Revolution Go has a lot of outstanding qualities and I highly recommend it. Very versatile for at home or on the go. NOTE: I received this product in exchange for my fair and unbiased review.

Nice little unit. Initially I was going to return because I didn’t think the sound was up to par. But after letting it play, it slowly grows on you! Cute is the best description. Not audiophile but nice to have in background while chilling.

I have really wanted a portable record player. The turntable that I currently have is integrated with a receiver, CD and cassette player, which is great, but takes up too much room to keep it anywhere but the top shelf of my bookcase. Needless to say, the turntable doesn't get much usage. The Revolution Go by Victrola changed all of that for me by being small footprint, lightweight and rechargeable battery powered. It has a lock for the stylus arm, a lid that locks well, and a place underneath where you can place the charging cable. I can carry it into the dining room using the handle that folds out or using the supplied sturdy shoulder strap, and play a record while I am working at home. I can take it downstairs when friends and family are over. I can even take it out on the patio, when the IL weather finally gets nice. The Revolution Go by Victrola has its own integrated speakers, Bluetooth capability and a rechargeable battery that can last for up to twelve hours! The speaker does a decent job, but you don't have to rely on it, since you can Bluetooth connect high grade portable speakers to it, totally improving the sound quality. You can also connect speakers via RCA cables or listen to records using the headphone jack or connecting via Bluetooth. Lots of ways to enjoy your vinyl. The Victrola Revolution Go can easily be switched to play 33-1/3 rpm speed albums, 78 rpm speed records, and includes an adapter for 45 rpm singles. It has a stylus arm lift lever that allows you to carefully place the stylus on and off the record. The turntable does not start moving until you move the stylus over the record and will automatically stop at the end of the record saving battery power. All in all, the Victrola Revolution GO is lots of fun! I think you will enjoy using it to play the records of your past and the colorful new vinyl of today!
