Play your old records again with this portable vintage turntable

I’m going to date myself with this blog post but that’s exactly my intention. In fact, here’s a quick test. If you’ve never heard the terms LP, album or record, then you can stop reading now. The rest of you, who are likely my age or older, keep on reading.

There’s no doubt that the quality of the music we listen to has improved drastically over the years. I’m not talking about the songs themselves, I’m talking about the quality of the sound. Today’s digital music has nearly zero (if not zero) glitches in quality. Compare that to the scratchy sound of records from 30 years ago.

Ironically though, it’s that scratchy, authentic sound that a lot of people miss. This is exactly why the 1byone Portable Vintage Turntable is so awesome.

Why I love it

Let’s go through the 1byone Portable Vintage Turntable’s features one by one (pun intended):

• It can play your old records including LPs and your old “45” records.
• It’s portable. In fact, the whole thing looks like a little retro suitcase.
• It has built-in speakers so you don’t need to hook it up to a stereo system or any other equipment.
• It has a built-in headphone jack if you don’t want to bother others in the room.
• It has a line in jack. This means you can hook up your smartphone to play your own music or stream Pandora or Spotify if you run out of records to play.
• It has line out connectors. This means you can hook an external device up to it (say to record your albums to digital format).

Sound quality

Perhaps the thing that surprised me the most was how good a record sounds on the 1byone Portable Vintage Turntable. Here’s a short video of it playing an old Commodores record that a good friend let me borrow for my review.
