Reddit reviews Jensen JTA-230 3 Speed Stereo Turntable with Built in Speakers, Aux in, Vinyl to MP3 Converting/Encoding

It uses the same exact guts as this $40 turntable. Like I said, the all-in-ones are really nice and useful, but prolonged use will damage your record and you won't be getting nearly as well of a quality sound as you would on a solo turntable. Like I said, they're made by like two Chinese companies and pawn them off as Vintage quality tables. If you have like a handful of records, it's no big deal, but if you want to keep them in good shape I would invest in something nice.

Anyone know anything about record players? I want to geta solid one and build up a collection of records. I see this one off Amazon, but not sure if it's legit or not.

I'm a casual listener, and it works fine for my purposes. I like that it's portable so you can take it to different rooms. It has pitch control, which a lot of cheap turntables don't have.

This review someone posted sums it up well:

The USB output, RCA line level output, and headphone jack all work fine, but sounds tinny and lacking in bass, so playing it through larger speakers really doesn't improve the sound quality that much compared to the small built-in speakers. Even if you try to boost the bass using an equalizer, it still won't sound hi-fi. So the JTA-230 is best used as a tiny, inexpensive, self-contained record player. It's a good beginner turntable for kids or for "crate digging" but won't be good enough to be your primary turntable for serious listening.

Here it is on Amazon:

Damn. I was afraid of that, which is why I hadn't pulled the trigger yet. I'm assuming the one below and those Crosley portable players aren't worth it -- even as a starter turntable?

hmm. I honestly think you should save your money for now and just e-digg. There's no shame in e-digging.

With that budget, you wont really find quality but I can make a recommendation

Here's an 18 minute long review

I'm sure there are guides for this but i'd rather have some input from you guys. I got 50 dollars to amazon from my sisters to get a record player for christmas, so I got this guy.. Now at first I thought it was exactly what I needed, since I'm just starting out on vinyl, and I'm not looking for anything super nice, just something to play my vinyls on, for personal listening.

Well after ordering it I'm looking at the reviews and it's looking like people have a lot of problems with it... Basically I decided that if mine ends up being as bad as some others have been, I'll just return it and get a refund.

In that case, what should I use my 50 bucks towards buying? Also, I didn't think of this until afterwards either, but we have an audio technica turntable I can use in my basement, but the phono output is messed up and it only plays really quietly. So maybe I should just invest in a cheap stereo system insted? In that case, what stereo system would be good for 50 bucks?

I bought this from amazon before I left for college because it's so compact, and has built in speakers.

I listen to the vinyls everyday!

It is this one on Amazon: Jensen JTA-230 3 Speed Stereo Turntable with Built in Speakers
I don't use the built-in speakers, I run it through a decent surround sound setup. When I am ripping vinyl, I monitor output through the computer.
The needle is replaceable. I haven't felt the need to swap it out yet. I haven't even looked into the duty cycle of needles, actually.
I haven't listened to vinyl since the late 70s, when my dad had the OSTs to Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, so I am a bit out of practice.

Hello! Thank you for your answer.

Damn thats too much, what would you think of any of these :

For someone like me who probably wont be looking into buying more and more vinyls, nothing against it but i just wanted something a bit cheap to just get a taste of what it really is

You can likely get a used turntable a lot cheaper than $100. Here is a new one for half that.

Being a first time buyer im not 100% sure what all to look for. Mainly I want a good sound with good durability, but is still easy to use and for me to learn a bit. To someone who has more experience than me, does this seem like a good choice?

It's a Jensen JTA-230.

It's not the best but it's pretty good for a $50 player. It plays pretty well and doesn't have a bad sound.

Why don't you get him a record player? http://www.amazon.com/Jensen-JTA-230-Turntable-Speakers-Software/dp/B00BCA4116/ref=lp_3003611_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1419621886&sr=1-1

Is this a good turntable for a beginning collector?

This is the turntable I have. Neither this or my receiver have phono inputs. I've tried every different setting; pure, direct, stereo, surround, etc and the subwoofer doesn't work with any.

As for my crossover setting, I don't know what that means.

I'm willing to upgrade my turntable but I want to know what I can do to fix the issue before purchasing a new one, unless of course the turntable I have is the problem.

Thank you!!!

This entry level one. My wife wanted me to start cheap to see if I even enjoyed having vinyl, but now we are both hooked!

Now I'm not sure where to even begin upgrading. I know that I need a better turntable, a pre-amp/amp, and some speakers. But what do I even start with first? Should I just save up for a better TT before I even think about amps and speakers?

I'm looking at buying my first record player, and have no Idea what I'm doing. I need one that supports 33 and 45, and would like one that has the option for a headphone jack when listening by myself, and the able to plug into a receiver. I really liked the Jensen JTA-320, but I'm afraid that since it's so cheap, it'll be shit.

I'm looking for something under or around $200

I got this! It's fairly cheap, the onboard speakers work pretty great, and the ability to digitize your albums is great.
