Pretty, Petite, and Pitifully weak
By Belle Howell
I'll cover the good and bad since there is no "ugly" to this pretty little box.Good:Compact sizeEasy set upLooks greaton/off knob feels solid"wood" finish is convincingA+ for dust cover with gaps for 12" recordsRadio function worksL/R line uots for external speakers (trust me, you'll need them)line in for CDMP3/SD slots for digital musicBright blue screenlight weightBad:Sounds atrocious! Want some dinner music or after diner music? You'll have to cozy right up to the speakers to hear anything, and you won't be pleased with what you hear. Absolutely no lows, highs were treacherous, and the mids were spiked.Speakers are miniscule, point in opposite directions (seriously? Poor design)Switches feel cheap, light, plastic-y.Tuner knob is looseSmaller than it looksno stacking functioncartridge arm feels frailno auto return function on armN audio control other than a "bass boost" buttonOverall:It's a shame this stereo sounds so bad. Crosley makes some great little bedside clock radios with impressive single speaker sound. They could've made this an impressive and affordable first turntable for a new generation of budding audiophiles. Vinyl is the future of physically packaged music.This little unit masquerades as a budding audiophile stereo system but be warned. Expect to spend an additional $200-$300 for a decent L/R Speaker & sub package to get good sound. Look at the entry line Polk Audio 10" sub and Monitor 30 bookshelf speakers. Run the L/R RCA cables into the subwoofer, then feed the signal to the shelf speakers. You will not enjoy this stereo unless you get external speakers. This would be a great little turn-table for the dorm room, bedroom, or apartment with some external speakers.For $400 (stereo + Polk Audio speakers) you could easily track down an old Panasonic, Marantz, Dual, Sansui, Bogen, or other vintage stereo of good quality with real warmth and tone as well as EQ features.All this being said, I really do like my little Crosley 6007.

Very good for the price
By Linda K. Anderson
The appearance of this unit reminds me of the turntables/record changers of the 70s, which in my opinion is a plus. I have a VERY large LP collection that I want to add to my iPod, and this looked to be perfect for that purpose. Haven't used it to transfer vinyl to usb yet, but I have listened to my vinyl and the radio, which, by the way, receives several stations I cannot get on my other radios. The only reason I gave this four stars rather than five is that the speakers are really awful. I solved this problem by connecting it to my Crosley Solo radio which makes it sound pretty darned good. I've also connected my iPod to the turntable, so now I have a really nice system for my bedroom. For looks and simplicity of operation, I highly recommend this little turntable, but remember that if you're going to listen to the radio or actually play LPs to listen to them, you will definitely need a set of speakers

Excellent for price!!!
By peanut
I purchased this item after reviewing articles and customer reviews. It is a "turntable" with a radio. I purchased it to transfer my records (33, 45, 78) to the usb flash drive. So far I have transfered 150 45's and two 33. Those people who expected a DJ professional results from an inexpensive turntable had higher expectations than me. The sound quality is great for the price. It is a good as or better than my Dynavox record player that we used at my high school dances. The speaker location is the same as most record players. People today expect a DJ system out of a utility system and thus are disappointed with the results. You get what you pay for and I feel that I got as good as or better than I expected. That is why I rated it a five star buy.
