This is a beautiful but very expensive turntable. I like it from the aestetics

Looks like it's ALL looks. Expect low performance with such a resonant tonearm design.

I questionthe quality of this USB turntable but it sure is nice looking:

Nice looking in the photo. Probably very cheap looking in person, and most certainly of mediocre performance. I have examined several Crossley products in person, and they are comparable to Emerson, York or GPX brands of ultra-low quality consumer products.

My new refernce vinyl MOJO from TP & The Heart Breakers

This is a must by album regardless of format. This is by far teh best album since Dam The Torpedoes and Hard Promises.

Now for the vinyl. All I can say is fawkin WOW. Clean, loud, soft, dynamic, clear, I can go on and on. For all you vinyl lovers, this is album is a must have.

Oh, cool. I've got one of Duke Ellington albums and read a little about him.
Yeah, he's definitely almost as good as Tom Jones.

I'm particulartily interested in J.B. Lenoir music. John Mayo, a white prolific blues artist lamented over J.B Lenoir's death in a song. John Mayo felt that Lenoir's music was very influential to Blues artists.

Did I know Tom Jones started out as a blues singer ?!? C'mon !!!

Actually I had heard that but haven't run into any of those albums. I just have maybe 3 albums that came with my first vinyl purchase for a collection of I guess more than 100 albums for $150. Engelburt Humperdinck was in the collection as well but he doesn't have a hit like She's a Lady so he fails to instantly put a smile on the face of the listener.

I was listening to a Handel organ concerto but I think I'm gonna give ole Tom a spin.

He's not an audiophile.

With 230 turntables I think we can let that slide! Haha.

What a wonderful site. Thanks for the link.

I actually owned one of these!

Absolutely hopeless and one of the pieces that taught me at an early age not to waste money on junk.

Rega has a replacement for the dreadful P1 entry level turntable. The new RP1 one should be a marked improvement eliminating teh speed issues that plagued earlier P1s with out of round MDF platters. This new platter is acrylic. There's a new tonearm and better bearings for the motor.

The problem is its not a turntable its a fake. The turntable is just a control device that looks like a vinyl LP, bu there is no pickup. A very nasty product indeed.
