1byone 1 by ONE Bluetooth Belt Drive Turntable

First thing is setting it up is a little intimidating if you’ve never had this type of turntable. Read all the directions! After that go buy a silicone mat for it so there’s less slippage. Then as you see I have an acdc felt slip mat on top of the silicone one. It raises it up just enough to make excellent sound quality. Though you don’t probably really need to do this. I just prefer knowing my record is spinning and not slipping. The sound quality is great paired with some powered Bluetooth speakers. I’m impressed by the quality and sheer beauty of this player. I give it 5 stars for the price and quality. Just buy one you won’t regret it. Especially at the price. This thing is amazing and that’s coming from a guy who swore he’d never go back to vinyl!

I know there are a lot of audiophiles who may be able to find fault with this turntable, but for me, this unit seems to do the job for me at a reasonable price.

Previously, I had bought a Victrola (all in one Unit). While it’s nice to look at and has everything one would need to play every format, the turntable was not something to be desired. Many of the records I played, would skip or skate across the record. Also, the turntable just didn’t sound so great. You heard every crackle and static on the Victrola.

On this turntable, there is no skipping, skating and the sound is clean. One of the main reason I bought this player is because I wanted to play all my records without skips and skating. I’m happy to report that doesn’t happen with this turntable. The sound is really clean through my old AIWA Q-Sound speakers I bought 30 years ago.

This turntable has Bluetooth capabilities which I haven’t taken advantage of along with the possibility of recording my Vinyl to digital. Though, I bought this simply to play my records. I have access to all my music digitally, so that feature isn’t a big deal for me. Though it’s nice to know that I can possibly record future Vinyls I buy that I don’t own digitally. It’s also nice to know that I can sync headphones to this unit. I can’t speak for the easiness of syncing to this turntable, but after reading multiple reviews of this turntable, most seem to have an overwhelming positive experience in syncing to their headphones.

I gave this four stars based on my experience in setting this up. To me, it shouldn’t be so difficult to setup. That said; I had some issues with the Anti-skate weight and the belt. First and most importantly, the belt gave me some trouble when setting up. It kept slipping off the pully. As you can guess, without the belt, the turntable is quite useless. I spent nearly an hour fighting with the belt while it kept slipping off. I almost gave up and was ready to return the unit. I tried to adjust the pully without much success. Somehow I was able to adjust the belt from slipping off the pully finally. I really have no idea what I did. It just finally stayed on without slipping. Still, it was quite stressful and for someone who prefers an out of the box, quick set up, my experience was not such. Furthermore, the fishing line for the Anti-Skate was a joke. My fingers aren’t that huge, but the knot that was already tied, was too small. I couldn’t adjust it. I tried to do my own tie but the fishing line was hard to tie around it, so I eventually gave up. It was disappointing because I bought the unit because, as stated earlier, that I had albums that my Victrola would skip and skate through. Fortunately, after playing a number of my Vinyls that skated and skipped on my Victrola, doesn’t skip or skate on this unit. So I’m not sure if the Anti-Skate weight is really necessary? When setting it up, there is a counter weight you attach which I may have conveniently set up correctly that does the job in keeping the needle/arm from skating across any records. Again, I am not a Turntable expert, so I can’t really speak for the weight’s effectiveness.

The other cons that can turn a person off is the fact that this doesn’t have an automatic stop/start/return feature. For me, it’s not a big deal, but I can understand why someone would prefer for it to stop once it got to the end of the record. For me, I usually play my vinyl, expecting to get up to turn the record over. Still, it would be nice for it to just stop spinning when the record is done. As some have expressed already, the wear and tear on the vinyl and the needle due to lacking this feature, could be a concern. Seems weird to me, in this day and age, this isn’t something included on such a turntable. Even my “all in one” Victrola stops when the record is done.

All in all, I’d say this is a worthy purchase. It’s a great price and the sound it produces is awesome. I was avoiding paying hundreds of dollars for a decent Turntable. And as most know, you usually get what you pay for. I believe I found a turntable that will satisfy my vinyl listening needs. I’m happy with the way it sounds and happy that you can easily plug in and play it with headphones or RCA speaker with no additional pre-amp.

Really good turntable with a focus on sound quality and manual control. It’s easy to use and set up. The only confusing thing is the weights for the anti skid, which I didn’t use. The only downside is there’s no auto stop when the record is done playing so you have to actively be around or know when it’s time to flip or stop the record. Great sound quality with built in phono, bass was just a little boomy but only slightly. Very warm and rich sound profile with good high frequency detail from the at 3600 stylus. Looks much more expensive than it is, lightweight tone arm leaves a little to be desired with the manual anti-skate but for $120, it’s the best do it all manual audiophile focused turntable with built in Bluetooth and usb output for recording to a computer or iPhone. Versatility is unbeaten for the money, nothing else is better. Way better than atlp60x. On a different level of sound quality.

Un aparato de calidad, con un diseño atractivo y a buen precio
