Vinyl Records Crackling While Playing

I collected 45's as a kid spending most of my allowance on whatever radio tune had my ear that week. I had maybe 100 or so LP's over the years but jumped on cassettes and then CDs as they came out. Here it is 40+ years after my last allowance was spent and I've decided to start collecting vinyl again. My girlfriend gifted me a Jensen turntable and a couple of records a few years ago for my birthday and I used it periodically picking up vinyl at yard sales and the like. The sound playing through my stereo was marginal with no bottom end and got me to thinking about how much I like the ritual of playing records and I wanted them to sound better. Long lead in but that's what got me looking into a turntable upgrade. I did the educate yourself as a consumer and wound up selecting this one based on reputation, reviews and price point. I made a great choice. Set up required some research to balance and align the tone arm correctly but there are several good vids online that detail what to do. Going to the record store to browse is a throwback to my youth. For the casual listener this turntable is more than adequate.

My vinyl records sound so much better with Sonos!!

Love my new vinyl case. Fits my records nicely.

A blend of old technology with the new. Can use old Vinyl records with bluetooth devices.

I bought this turntable for my mom to listen to her vinyl records. She loves it

I bought this to update an old record player so that I could get some use out of my old vinyl records. I also bought a speaker to use with it, and I couldn't be happier!

I've been getting back into vinyl over the last few years. My home theater system didn't have a designated "phono" in. Records sounded ok on it? But the volume was way down. I tried a few pre amp options, and nothing seemed to work. I bought this, and so far I love it. I hooked my turntable in, and my records sound fantastic! It also has Bluetooth connectivity, so you can play from your phone too. Lps and streaming are about the same output... CD's are definitely louder. But I think they always were anyway? So, I'm super happy with my purchase, and use it mostly for my old (but great shape) records.

Was looking for a simple to use, automatic (just push start button) turntable that could play my old vinyl records. This unit works perfectly, was easy to set up and sounds great. Brings back so many memories playing those 70s and 80s records.

Bought this for my wife who enjoys listening to vinyl records. The remote control makes using this receiver a breeze and it was exactly what she needed. Worked perfectly otu of the box. Sounds very good !

I bought this a month ago am glad I did! I was just looking for a basic simple stereo receiver for my cd & vinyl records.
