Reddit reviews JENSEN JTA-220 3-Speed Turntable with AM/FM Receiver & Stereo Speakers

Although I am extremely jealous of you and a little irritated that you would buy one without the ability to listen to it, I will stow away that irritation to help a fellow Tim. You can find some rather reliable, cheap turntables on Amazon. I personally had a Jensen All-In-One. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVKE2I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_VR6CybX9H31J6) There's the link if you're interested. They are good for their price point. I had mine for about 4 or 5 months before I upgraded. Or... You could just sell the vinyl episode to me, and I'd take real good care of it. xD

My terribly cheap Jensen can play 78s.

100% new photo, regardless of where you found it. The turntable is a plastic piece of shit from china.

Money sent. And now I'm going to waste the rest of my money on Cyber Monday shit I don't need on Amazon. Like maybe this turntable? Huh? Should I get it? I'm getting it.

Cool gifts I've recieved:

• A cast iron skillet. I like this one because it is a dutch oven with a skillet as a lid. Even though they're pretty, don't buy one of those fancy enamel coated ones.
  
• Mighty Wallet. Thinnest wallet I've ever seen, very strong Tyvek material (the same stuff that those Fed Ex envelopes are made of that you can't tear open), recyclable.
  
• Beer Brewing Kit, visit r/Homebrewing for more info
  
• Kindle or Nook with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance on it.
  
• A record player and Radiohead's In Rainbows

Jensen. I was relatively broke when I started the project and needed a well reviewed, compact, inexpensive TT. This one worked out well after returning the first. I tore off the cap and ground down some areas to make it flush inside a cavity. It has a built in speaker that can be turned on and off (this is why I drilled holes in the back) and I also ran wire down the "S" for 2 decent quality speakers that I already owned. It sounds surpisingly well for such a cheap TT. If I had to do it all over again I would save up for a worthy one.

This bad boy, except a little worse for wear and it's missing the lid on top. Works perfectly fine though so far!

I feel kind of superficial making this post because obviously there will always be someone who needs something more than me, but here we go..

The other day, someone I had recently gotten very close to passed away. It was an odd friendship because she was very young (maybe only halfway through high school) and I am 20-going-on-21, and nature would tell us to hate each other because we shared the same traumatic stories of an ex-boyfriend, but somehow we bonded over music. She would play records for me and I was so impressed at how mature her music taste was. I felt so relaxed and understood listening to records with her; it was no wonder we became fast friends despite a tumultuous past. I understood her for her personality, grief, pain, why she needed out .. all through the silence we shared listening to her record player.

She committed suicide four days ago. I never got to tell her I was sorry for how I treated her before we became friends, back when I held so much disdain for her due to us sharing a past romantic interest, things I can't really blame her for but I did. I feel like the only way I can connect with her and apologize is through record player and records, but I don't have the courage (nor the place) to ask her mother for the one she owned. And all I can think about is that she was so fucking young.

I'm going through a low point in my life. My college career is almost over but I still have no idea where I'm going with it, financial bills are piling up and my parents are using their retirement fund to pay for schooling that I'm just so damn unsure of, I work 3 jobs but see none of my money, I don't know if I have any other friends who liked me as much as she did, and my anxiety gets worse and worse and what makes it so much more painful is my old friend, not knowing where she is or if she ever got the resolve she needed.

All I want to do is listen to records.

I don't care how cheap the record player, I just want to be alone and try to feel her again. I want to be able to say I'm sorry and I want her to speak to me in the way we initially learned how to communicate.

You can add external speakers according to the Amazon posting.

In the future - without a clear and large picture or a model number you won't get much help posting a tiny fuzzy picture. It's just impossible to figure things out without that. The better your description and picture, the better and more helpful the responses will be.

A vinyl of the gods. Yes, it's definitely a very substantial record, and I don't regret the decision to get the special edition at all, it's a beautiful record, both in content and aesthetics, but I love just being able to chill out and listen for a while before flipping. I really shouldn't bitch though. I just got Deflorate by TBDM on vinyl and the whole album all the way through is just over 30 mins, so even one of the two Inferi records is about the same length. It's pretty rare to find an hour long metal album that is full of great tracks.

As amazing as it is, I think my audio setup is holding the album's sound potential back. I'm using this hooked up to this.

What kind of setup are you using?

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.

I desperately want this record player because my roommate broke my old one.

It's pricey though, so I think I'm going to start scoping out thrift stores!
