    My wife and I are enjoying this item. Now we can enjoy our collection of records, cassettes and CD's. We enjoy the radio and bluetooth as well! The speakers are pretty good - I hooked up my powered Bose speakers and the system sounds great!

    I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and he loves it! Everything works great and we don’t have any issues with skipping. Just so you know, if the Bluetooth switch is on, even if it’s not connected to anything, when you play a record, you won’t hear it through the speakers. You must turn off the Bluetooth to hear the music through the speakers. The sound is great for being a record player. It’s not meant to have a loud party. It’s meant for smaller spaces such as a living room. It has a clear sound. I love the dial for the radio stations…it reminds me of the old school radios. Overall I recommend this product!

    I'm very pleased with this Victrola. I've had a stack of vinyl albums in the basement for years. After back and forth with my wife about what to do with them, she decided to surprise me with this audio system for my birthday. Not only do my vinyls sound great on this, it also has FM radio, CD and cassette, although I didn't save any my old cassettes so I can't attest to that feature. I also love the dark wood look and the vintage feel. Very, very pleased with this purchase.

    This system isn’t for the user who needs the absolute best, but the quality still is really great. Having the option to play tapes, records, or connecting Bluetooth make it a perfect living room essential for having guests over. I would highly recommend this for people starting to begin their collection or just want something that is simple and isn’t too focused on the best quality sound they absolutely need.

    This stereo and the 6-in-1 features are exactly what I have been searching for! The combination of wood, black, gold, and antique touches is really nice! I received several comments, on the way to the register from employees and customers alike, who were commenting on how great the stereo looks. Regarding the quality, only time will tell, but so far it's been pretty good and I'm optimistic, especially considering the look and multi-function capability are exactly what I wanted. The volume knob seems a little glitchy at least when using the radio. When I turn it down one notch the system goes completely quiet instead of an incremental decrease. I have enjoyed using the radio function several times, but only tested out the record, tape, and CD functions. I haven't tried the Aux or Bluetooth options yet, but I plan to try all functions soon and will happily update my review. The first record I tried the player was skipping, but I believe it to be an issue with the record, because the second one I tried sounded really good! I wish the tape functionality had more features to be able to rewind, fast forward or pause, but for what it is, the tape I tried sounded pretty decent. Currently, I have no complaints regarding the CD player. Overall, for the price, the nice antique look and 6-in-1 options, I think the stereo is a great option!

    My 16-year-old daughter recently discovered vinyl records and received this player as a birthday gift. The quality, performance, and appearance are impressive. It comes with a built-in CD and cassette players. The Bluetooth allows you to connect to external speakers if you choose. The product is a great gift and brings a classic look to a modern time room. I would recommend this product.

    It is easy to use, I have tried Vinyl records, CDs, 3.5 mm headphone connection as well as bluetooth. I haven’t hooked up to a bluetooth speaker in my house and the music quality sounds great.  while it may cost more than some of the other record players, this one doesnt require an expensive speaker set up as some others may. Overall, I love it.

    I couldn’t pass up the deal that was being offered for this audio system. It has a classy look to it and is a great conversation piece. Everything works as advertised but my only gripe is that the sound isn’t very vibrant. Any of my 3 Bluetooth speakers will easily outperform the built in stereo speakers on this which is why I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise I love being able to play my old CDs and vinyl; it brings about a lot of nostalgia for me and my guest.

    What A Little Wonder. Purchased this beautiful Victrola unit for my daughter for her birthday. The look in her eyes was heartwarming. Personally, I find this Victrola to be a perfect unit for anyone wanting to add a touch of class to a room. Absolutely stunning.

    The record player, CD player, cassette player & FM radio all work great with really good sound! I love listening to albums again! Best thing I've bought in a long time. I've been playing some old albums along w/ some new ones that I bought when I bought the turn table!

    Super cool looking player! The modern connectivity and vintage glow make it a welcome addition to any room. I run it in to the interface, fire up pro tools, throw on input mode, run some SSL bus compression along with an auxed Waves Submarine plug-in channel and kick on the JBLs. Sounds great! The Bluetooth is super handy and the onboard speakers give that old timely ambiance.

    Love it so much. I don’t use it everyday and it’s bulkier than I’d like but it’s still pretty compact. It has headphone plug in, aux, CD, phono, a Bluetooth feature that I use often & an FM radio option that I also enjoy. The sound is great & it’s easy to use. If you’re thinking about it, get it!

    So far happywith this unit. We purchased one and had to return it because it sounded like it had a static like short in the wiring when the turn table was on. We returned it for another and it works great.

    Classic look, great quality, and clear sound. The only setback for me is that one can not simply hook up tower speaers. Other, in-line, abapters need to be purchased for a bloder sound. . .
