5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome look and sound, loving this January 20, 2012

By R.Nunez

Length: 4:00 Mins

I've been so stoked since I got this, it looks vintage, sounds modern, has every way of playing music that I need. Check out the video if you want to hear it- it sounds really clear and full, no distorting or vibrating from the cabinet. It's an old-school lookin' set up with all the perks of modern features- it's awesome, and I could not be happier with how good it sounds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound, no software January 12, 2011

I purchased this for Christmas this year since I own quite a few records. While not overwhelming, the sound is good from all forms of media (tape, cd, record, and mp3). I have yet to try and pull data onto mp3s on my computer through the USB connection, but I was a bit surprised that there was no software provided with the system in order to do so. All in all, I feel it has been worth the price paid so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but has weaknesses November 11, 2011

By D. Ricci

I purchased this a month ago, mostly for the purpose of converting my large collection of cassette tapes to digital. Unfortunately, the weakest part of this system is the tape player. It has a puny motor that won't turn anything but the newest of tapes and there is no reverse button. Also, there is no way to regulate the input level, so some tapes won't make good copies. I found a workaround (using a different tape player plugged into auxillary) but that doesn't speak well for this system.

Also, the record feature does not give a good indication when the recording is actually starting. It took me numerous attempts to get a good recording that didn't cut off the first few seconds of the song.

Sound is pretty good though and recording directly to flash drive is a big help.

The instruction manual is about five pages long with no index. Very difficult to use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheaply made, but great sound quality May 1, 2011

By Jacynda Rose

I ordered this in hopes that it would make my LPs sound great, and it does. My only complaint is that it is very cheap-looking for something so expensive. Even though it works just fine, I get the feeling that the tape player will stop working at any minute and I dislike how the lid on top of the phonograph player doesn't lift very high. This makes it hard to see the speed settings for your records. I had to shine my cell phone light in there just to read it! Overall, the CD player works great, I love the little remote control, and the speakers sound fine, and I have yet to use the USB/iPod features, but I'm sure they're well worth the price of the product.

2.0 out of 5 stars nice features but faulty January 12, 2011

Selection dial shorted out on day 2. The gift was well-appreciated with lots of features but had to be returned. Not sure if this is a pervasive or isolated issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pyle PTCDS2UI Show Stopper!! June 20, 2011

By IT Gadget Guy

Amazon Verified Purchase

Bought this for my wife and her collection of albums from back-in-the-day. Playback is outstanding and was expected from such a tech vendor like Pyle. They are known for great sound. The ability to dock an MP3 player, play/burn CDs and pop in the dusty cassette tapes are also a major plus.Setup is plugging in the power... Easy to use, beautiful finish which is real wood(not particle board like some others) and exceeds my initial expectations. If you are on the fence about which brand, I will tell you that our family and guests have been enjoying loving it. Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very satisfied July 7, 2011

By Karen L. Bitner

Amazon Verified Purchase

Purchased this item because I have hundreds of old vinyl records I did not want to get rid of but currently had no way to play them. Also wanted the other media play capabilities, as well as something that looked great sitting out. Didn't know anything about Pyle Audio, so this was purchased in the blind based on other individuals' recommendations. Can honestly say I have not been disappointed. The sound is great, all features work, and it is easy to operate. I would recommend this product to anyone that might be on the fence about purchasing this product. Got a great deal on the price, and it is well worth it. Only area that might be improved is in the instructional booklet--there are areas where it does not resemble any of the English language I learned in school. Sometimes it is difficult, if not nearly impossible to understand. But the product is exceptional, and easy to learn to operate, even if you have difficulty reading the manual.

My wife got this for me and the sound is so wonderful. I've had pyle car stereo before and was happy to hear my LPs sound so great in my home. For all the things i can do with it, the price is fantastic.
