Arrived a day earlier than quoted luckily a neighbour took the delivery. The product was well packed and once unpacked in mint condition (unlike some reviews ). The sound quality is good but luckily I've connected mine to an old amp for better volume. All the functions work well & the instruction manual is easy to follow. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't play all the tracks I had already downloaded onto a USB stick but that's not a fault according to the manual. I found the remote control wasn't too responsive especially when I was trying to record vinyl using the track separation button ,and I would've preferred not to have to manually lower and lift the stylus . The bluetooth is easy to setup .

Looks good. You have to bear in mind it is a retro system. Some of my vinyls sound a little 'tinny' but some are 50/60 years old and a modern system will enhance any wear or damage 'noises' and will affect sound quality. But it is a great crack playing 78s, 33s and 45s again. Tapes play and sound well as do CDs. Radio is good - not DAB so don't look for that. Bluetooth does not transmit - need to buy a wireless audio transmitter which is connected via the USB port and the audio out (headphone). Turntable bluetooth out has to be via the additional speaker sockets connected to the USB transmitter. That's no big deal though.

Fantastic music system, very high quality sound especially when paired with the recommended Sub woofer. Very good value, although the system feels and looks a little plastic, this to me is of no relevance to the main purpose of the system. Haven't had the chance to use all the features yet, but for Bluetooth, Vinyls, Tapes, and CD playback I can't complain, when you consider the next comparable device to this will probably cost you twice as much, I can do nothing but recommend this product.Whilst the speakers may appear small they're of surprisingly good quality, originally I had planned to use my sony speakers with the system instead,

Bought this 06dec16 especially to listen to ancient well-loved vinyls. Initially was pleased - use through the year has been daily, primarily CD function and radio. Sound quality acceptable for price. However today wanted to air some Christmas LP's only to find the blue light didn't come on when 'Phono' selected. Posted negative review and then found the paperwork, phoned the national number and had a really helpful technician who solved the problem - a press button needed to be released. Christmas LP now playing. So great back-up and one very happy listener! Faith in product completely restored.

Just what i had been searching for for months as a Christmas present for my mother. She's got a huge collection on vinyl records from her youth and even though the has tried different cheaper turntables in the past, they all had a very low quality and hollow sound and often broke after a few uses.She opened this on xmas day and actually cried at how happy she was to receive this. Its very sleek and stylish, you can see and feel the quality.It sounds amazing and we spent all Xmas day listening to her old LP's. I could't be happier with this purchase.

Finally we have taken this out of its box and set it up - been nearly a year but no where to put it before. The sound is fantastic and we have tried out each of the three functions we bought it for. CDs lovely and clear; cassettes the same and it is so good to be able to hear our old records again, a bit old and scratchy in places but with some being really ancient it is a miracle they still play and so well, some are 78rpm and this is the first time we have had all three speeds very, very, happy with every function.....

I can't fault this music system. there is only 1 problem and that is the remote control-I can't reduce/increase the volume with it which is very inconvenient. It doesn't let you pre-set radio channels so have to retune if want different channel , this isn't always a problem as I remember the old style radios which worked the same way so am used to it. This has replaced a similar system I had for 15 years, before it broke, so hope this is as long-lasting!!

It came in well under 24 hours! Yes, really. Couldn't believe it.Easy to set up. It is fine for us, but we are not hi fi people. Vinyls are a bit on the quiet side, but OK. Everything else works fine. It has connections for blue tooth and MP3.... but haven't tested this as I don't know what it means!!! Sorry. Radio is a bit limited in what you can get, and, of course, it's not DAB.

So far good, I have had a few jumpy cd's but that could be the cd's and not the unit itself. The volume does not seem very loud but we haven't really investigated that yet, perhaps we are missing something and it can be increased. Otherwise we are happy with it. When delivered the lid was damaged but once reported there was no quibble and a new lid was mailed to me right away.

the order came very promptly. It was very well packed. Connection was simple. I use it to play my old CDs and the sound is very good indeed. I have not tried tapes yet.I chose the silver fronted model, and it looks quite smart and more expensive than it really was. Yes it was a pleasing purchase.

Item well packaged and prompt delivery,Very clear sound response from radio and CD. Does what it says on the descriptionVinyl sound has too much treble for my liking so will order a woofer kit.I would like to have seen separate tone or bass and treble controls built into this system.

Very Pleased with this music system, have downloaded C,D,'s Cassettes and L.P,'s to USB stick to play in new car as most new cars now dont have C.D. players. Only drawback is the artist name does not come up on the screen in the car as it does if you download C.D. to USB on a P.C.
