3.0 out of 5 stars
OK, room for improvement, May 5, 2005
This review is from: Ion iPT01 Portable Turntable with Built in Speakers and Amp (Electronics)
First off, on the plus side: This player is truly portable, running for a good many hours on a set of 6 "D" cell batteries, or on the supplied AC adapter. The turntable is good, with accurate electronically controlled speed (including 78 RPM- A big plus to many vintage collectors), adjustable pitch. The tone arm is borderline unacceptable. Heavy weight with way-too-much skating tendencies, so much so that the sound is unbalanced in the headphones as the stylus is always being pressed against the left side of the ceramic pickup element. The built in amplifier and speaker are just barely loud enough to hear in a home setting- forget a noisey environment. The headphones are your only choice here. Am I sorry I bought it? No, as I got it for an excellent price- But had I paid full price, it would have been sent back.
