Miniscule, Effective, 3 Speeds, And Stereo Sound.

Jun 1, 2008 - By N. OBrien (Boston, MA. USA)

The model CR-40 seemed the best of the Crosley portable turntables. It does what the larger turntables do, with less size, better styling, and front firing speakers, where as the various incarnations of the CR-49 have side speakers and wasted space around the platter. My only minor gripes are no pitch control, and no flippable 78 needle, as it can't be good for the same stylus to alternate between 33 1/3, 45 r.p.m., and 78's. A Vestax battery portable I bought 2 years ago had an optional 78 stylus available, which I got, though it does have to be manually removed/replaced when switching back to playing LP's and 45's (Vestax and Numark make plastic AC/battery monoral speaker portable record players with pitch control, which are quite good, but without the cabinet styling of the CR-40). Crosley's inclusion of a spare stylus is appreciated.

Great little player!

You have to give Crosley credit for coming up with these cool gadgets for all of us who love vinyl. This is actually the best sounding small record player to come out in decades. It is not very loud but the sound is very clear. I own several small record players and none is this good. The price is also very good. Thank you Crosley!

I am quite impressed with the sound of the built in speakers and impressed with everything else in general about this little turntable.

Dec 3, 2008 - By Milton P. Gafkowitz (Brooklyn, NY)

The turntable arrived promptly. It plays well and the package contained everything necessary. The turntable is nice and lightweight and can easily be moved.
