| Very nice ! This is my Media-Center: Turntable, Dual Cassette deck, CD-R recorder deck, Amp, and on the very bottom- an 8-track player/amp. When I retire, I'll probably spend most my time in front of this stack. | |

Good TT from what I've read, but pretty price at $250+. I've been eyeing it's little brother the LP60USB; it's only $100. Whatever I get it needs to be switchable; I don't anything about this receiver, so I don't know if the TT needs a pre-amp or not. | |

| It all cleaned up nice and purty and evertying sounds great. CD's play and tapes play and the receiver has switched plugs in the back ---everything plugs into it for a single power button Way I don't know if tapes drag or not, but this tape deck is MILES ahead of my old one! Digital controls (meaning the play button is not a mechanical button that moves the play head into place!) and the recording is electronic ... it records from what is playing not via a separate record head! That means either side can record. Of course, I'm not going to record anything to tape (can you even buy blank tapes anymore! ) but it is still cool. The CD player is a 5-cd changer. I've always been a bit leery of those as I had a buddy that had one many years ago and it scratched his CD. I guess we'll see. The speakers are good. They're not Bose or anything fancy, just your standard 3-way speakers -- woofer, mid-range, and tweeter. I hooked them up to verify they work, buy my real intention is to hook them up to our theater system. I have another set of speakers, KLHs that used to belong to a buddy of mine, with some MASSIVE subs in them! I am hoping to have a booming Superbowl party this year! So here's what I got for my $50. it's a Kenwood system, and while they are separate components they were obviously designed to be sold together. KT-591 Quartz Synthesizer AM/FM Stereo Tuner - found some on eBay for $15 - $30 KX-W891 Stereo Double Cassette Deck - found some on eBay for $55 - $89 DP-R891 Mulitple Compact Disc Player (5 disc tray) - found some on eBay for $60 - $65 KA-891 Stereo Integrated Amplifier - could not find any anywhere JL-901 3-Way Floor Speakers - found a pair on eBay for $90 So assuming the prices people are asking for on eBay are fair and that the items sell, I paid $50 for a system worth between $220 and $275, and that's not counting the amplifier. Not too shabby a deal! is it a GREAT system? No, particularly not by today's standards. Is it better than what I had. Oh yeah. And here's the best part ... from what I can tell it's from 1991! | |

Good TT from what I've read, but pretty price at $250+. I've been eyeing it's little brother the LP60USB; it's only $100. Whatever I get it needs to be switchable; I don't anything about this receiver, so I don't know if the TT needs a pre-amp or not. The LP60 is one of the best out there for the price. Stay away from anything with the name "Crosley" on it. The only downside to the AT-LP60 is that you cannot change the stylus, it is permanently mounted. But a friend has one and loves it. In fact, I almost bought it but decided on the LP120 instead. I think I paid 239 for it from zzounds, which offers zero financing on it for 60 bucks a month. The LP60 (and 120) both come with an internal pre-amp for use with AUX hookups. It also comes with a preamp BYPASS so you can turn it off and hook up to a PHONO switch. It will do all you need it to do! | |

| My mother-in-law has a Crosley and loves it. Of course, she likes music but she is not a serious audiophile. It serves her purpose of being able to listen to her old cassettes, CDs, and old LPs. I should use her Crosley to burn a couple of cassettes to CD. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |
