1byOne Turntable with Speakers Review (Model 1-AD07US02)

Review of a fancy looking turntable with its own sound system in one package. Can it beat the quality and value of those modern little suitcase turntables?

I like the simplicity of this unit and the general appeal, i'm not looking for anything special just a nice little unit that i can listen to my records on and i think this might be the one!

Setting tracking force (roughly) without a scale, turn counterweight until tone arm "floats" level above platter, holding weight in place turn indicator wheel till zero is matched with the notch mark (you might have to do this a few times, the weight may move slightly), then turn entire weight counter clockwise until 2.5, then you have the tracking force roughly set to 2.5 grams which is about right for the 3600L cartridge this uses.

The large hole in the 7-inch 45 was designed for jukebox play.

Hola, se le puede conectar un cable y escuchar la musica de la bicicleta de tu telefono movil ? Para no perder calidad al escuchar por bluetooth. Gracias

In Germany, where I live, big holes in 45s were also quite common. I am pretty sure they were the standard here from the 50s-early 90s.

Manual explains how to set the tracking force. It is the conventional method that has been used for a long time. The scale is movable, separate from the weight itself just so everybody knows that part of this unit is very very nice.

[alexandermigel]

That's an interesting way of setting tracking force. I'll try it next time. What I usually do to set it is setting the counterweight in a position where the tonearm would float in the air parallel to the turntable body, then zero out the scale on the counterweight and set tracking force according to the cartridge specs (without the styles protection cover)

PS cool goofy record!

The bigger holes in 45 rpm records were to accommodate various types of record changers and Juke boxes I guess

[pyography]

Here's my understanding of the different hole sizes. Columbia created the 33, and RCA Victor responded with the 45. The hole in 45s meant the 33s players couldn't play them, and RCA players couldn't support 33s, forcing people to buy records from the same company/licensee. As seen in this vid, it's easy to adapt a 33 player to play 45s, so RCA's plan kinda backfired. Kinda like the war between Beta and VHS. One gives longer play time at slightly less quality. Like VHS, LP's meant you could stay on the couch a little longer. couch potatoes gonna couch, speaking as an official member of the couch potato club.

I don't have this player, but I've been considering it. I read that it will stop 3 minutes after the end of the record.

[jimeagle]

When balancing the tonearm you really should remove the plastic that protects the stylus as it adds extra weight to the tonearm resulting in an unbalanced tonearm.

[dave]

This is what people want, a half decent modern record player.

[johnclementi]

Look for the specific tracking weight for that Audio Technica cartridge. I think it may be a little heavier than 2 grams. It looks like the same cartridge on the Audio Technica LP60.

[BilisNegra]

It's funny how you mention the 45 RPM adapter as something for American single records. Only in modern times, I've heard that in the UK, 7-inch records most often used the same standard holes as LPs, but southern European me has only seen a bunch of those at home or elsewhere as a kid. Most had the large hub and did require the adapter. Same with the ones I find in thrift shops.
As a separate, unrelated comment, does anybody know how this turntable can switch from line level to phono not having a ground wire?

[Nodeathnolife]

I'm tempted about getting this cuz I'm trying to reduce a lot of clutter

[untungutomo]

What brand is this device ? Is it in stereo and bluetooth system' ? (Banyumas, Central Java)

[rekreator]

Is the electric cable part of the package?

Anybody know if the cartridge/headshells can be upgraded on these ? Thanks .

[stevenscoggins]

The instructions do tell you how to set the proper tracking force, which you chose to not follow

I have some Granola Dips in my neck of the woods, but I don’t think they’re Quakers.
