Love the step up this provided from my old $50 record player. This is an excellent choice for someone looking to out together a decent listening setup.

I love this turntable, everything about it is perfect

Very nice and easy to use would have been nice if a ground wire was provided

Love this especially that I can hook to bluetooth speakers

This product works as advertised. What more could you want?

Exactly what was needed, good price, It looks great.

Works amazing. I would highly recommend this affordable turntable.

Just not for me. I wanted more features and higher quality. Fine for someone wanting the basic.

Turntable is an upgrade for our teenage son.the auto feature and the replay was a big deciding factor in purchase.

This record player lets me play all of my old records

Arrived not functioning the device looked ok but didn’t work a bit disappointing

Sound quality for this specific unit I purchased wasn't good at all. The skate was totally unoperable. I may have just received a bad unit. Unit wasn't even fully automatic but it Operate like advertise with the sono sound bar and speakers. Returned and purchased a much cheaper and fully automatic unit.

Victrola’s first foray into a fully automatic turntable is a very successful one. If you are not interested in reading a long-winded review, here is a brief summary: The Victrola Automatic is a wonderful option for first-time vinyl enthusiasts who are starting to get into record collecting and listening; and is also a good option for experienced vinyl enthusiasts who want vinyl playback to be simple and enjoyable. A couple of details on the Victrola Automatic itself. The turntable is very lightweight, which was a little worrisome at first to me. Often times when it comes to turntables, weight is synonymous with sound quality, so I was a little concerned. The Victrola Automatic does not come with your typical tone arm either. Instead of a cylindrical tube, made out of some form of metal or plastic, the J-shaped tone arm is square-shaped. The venerable, well-known and well-liked Audio Technica ATN 3600L cartridge comes fixed to the arm and cannot be replaced by another cartridge. The stylus is replaceable, and is the conical-type, which means while it does not extract the last little bit of data from the grooves, it does have a pleasant, rolled-off sound that reminds many of how vinyl sounded back in the day. The Victrola Automatic comes with Bluetooth capability, called Vinylstream. I couldn’t find any details on the format of Bluetooth being used, but I am assuming it is SBC and not AptX. The Automatic has a built-in phono preamp which can be bypassed to run phono signal to an external preamp if desired. Completing the ensemble is a hinged plastic cove. Now, for some details about my experience with the Victrola Automatic. Unboxing and setting up the turntable didn’t require me to get out the small, included owner’s manual; the process was simple and easy. The only installation required was to set the aluminum platter in place, slip the belt over the motor drive pulley, and plug the unit in. I started with a Bluetooth connection to my SMSL DAC with Bluetooth capability. After about 30 seconds, the Automatic connected to the DAC, and I listened to a few records. Sound was okay in this method; slightly dull and lifeless. I then connected the RCA plugs to my preamp and used the built-in phono preamp to push analog signal to my speakers. Sound quality was definitely improved. But, of course, the best sound quality came when I turned off the built-in phono preamp and instead used a separate preamp in my system. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality that I heard as I listened to a variety of records over the next 2 or 3 days. Did the Automatic reach to the sound quality levels I was accustomed to hearing from some much more expensive equipment? Of course not. But it sound dang good and operated perfectly each and every time. Having a fully automatic turntable and not having to watch for the end of records to lift the needle is dang cool. And, reminds me of older times when I was growing up and my mom was spinning vinyl. The value proposition of the Victrola Automatic is high. It has a lot of competition in its price segment, and is one of the better options.

I haven’t been able to get this record player to connect to any device! Waste of $186 as they wouldn’t let me return it even a few days after the return date should have been.

Victrola did a wonderful job in the design, feel, and look of this record player. They were able to maintain the classic look and feel while taping into the modern styles of today; classy, yet minimalistic. Placing in various rooms throughout the house, main areas, living, and study, the record player compliments these areas very well. Initial setup does take a little bit as the main player wheel needs to be attached to the table itself. Easily done as Victrola provides a pull tab for the drive belt to pull and slip the belt onto the drive spindle in place. The belt has already been prepositioned on the wheel itself to ease install. It appears and seems to have a really nice build quality from the touch and feel. Record playback is very easily accomplished via the supporting repeat function. Having the repeat function is very nice these days for those extended listening sessions. Additional items included in box are the power adapter and stereo audio (RCA) cable. Bluetooth setup is simply done via the provided manual and straight forward. Overall sound quality, is clear and to include clarity. Sound may be played by direct connection to speakers or via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth feature is very nice as it enabled me to place the record player in an area within the study without the need for wires. In the past, we have had to run a length of audio cable or place the record player by the sound system main unit. Highly recommend for any level audiophile looking for a record player to add to their audio setup at home.
