1BYONE TURNTABLE PORTABLE

Right now, 1byone has the portable turntable listed on for just $80.99. We listened to Elvis, Chicago, Madonna, Doobie Brothers, Bee Gees and many more for the night. I love making my mom happy and seeing her eyes light up made my day. She and I sat for hours enjoying listening to music together and that is a memory I will have for the rest of my life. Her eyes lit up when I set it up for her and put on her favorite Barbra Streisand album I resurrected from the basement.

My mom also loved the record player so much so that I had to order her one with my own money. I remember buying my own record player as a kid and spending over $300 dollars and that was in the 80’s when gas was something like 35 cents a gallon!

The sound was simply incredible and the record player is definitely worth the asking price of less than $100. Once I hooked it up to my home stereo I was rocking out like it was 1985. In my home office I have an amplifier with two tower speakers with a 15″ subwoofer. Given that the speakers were made for portability, I tried hooking it up to my home audio system. The dual speakers are more than adequate, as they do get quite loud, but at higher volumes they can get a bit too high toned for my ears. Yes you hear the dust and pops on the record, but the music is just lovely when listening to the 1byone portable turntable. The sound quality is just different, but to me it feels “alive”. I forgot how much I missed vinyl records. In a simple phrase, I love this portable turntable. All in all, 1byone added everything needed to this briefcase to enjoy vinyl at home or on the go. On the side of the 1byone portable turntable is an audio out for connecting to an amplifier if you have a home stereo, an audio in for playing music through the built-in speakers, as well as the volume button and 3.5mm audio out jack for headphones.

There’s even a holder for it on top of the briefcase so you don’t lose it. Included in the briefcase was an adapter for 45rom records, and I found my sister’s stash in the basement and did need this adapter. Sit down and relax with this vinyl player. Take the time to listen to the words and the instruments. 1byone included two front facing speakers in the briefcase so all you need to do is plug it into a wall outlet, put on a record and you’re instantly listening to music the way it should be. Everything is included from 1byone to start listening to music instantly.īack in the day, we had record players but they were all hooked up to amplifiers which jacked up the signal to play through large speakers. I was born in 1980 and my entire family listened to vinyl so I was excited to see how well designed the portable turntable turned out. My unit came in faux baby blue leather with chrome accents which gave it a nostalgic look from the 70’s and 80’s. The 1byone 3-speed portable turntable is the size of a standard briefcase and is not heavy by any means. No, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber were not available in vinyl at the thrift shops, but Chicago, Elvis Presley, The Doobie Brothers, Lionel Richie, Madonna, and Michael Jackson were to my delight.ġbyone had just asked me if I wanted to review their portable turntable, and I jumped at the opportunity since I have been knackering to start listening to music the way good ol’ Steve Jobs did. For many people they donated their old records, and luckily for me I picked up quite a few at a dollar a piece. In addition to the music store, I had to go to a couple of local charities where I was donating my parents old stuff that they no longer used, and when I walked into the stores I found lots of used vinyl records.

I went to a local music store who sold music and to my surprise there were two full rows dedicated to new vinyl record albums with one additional row for used vinyl albums. In my own personal experience, I was recently visiting my parents in the Sacramento area. But for those of us who love music and love the sound reproduction, vinyl is second to none which is why vinyl has made such a strong comeback. For most of us, we don’t care as music is simply playing in the background. Most of our music is compressed these days into MP3 files to minimize storage space and minimize streaming data. Some like Young tend to think digital media is degrading the “quality” of music and as an audiophile I tend to agree. Even the man who brought us the iTunes Store and iPod, Steve Jobs, “listened to vinyl” at home according to Neil Young.
