I bought this record player about three years ago. I wasn’t too impressed with the sound. It has just two small speakers on the front with little amplification. I had to modify this product somewhat to create the sound that I was looking for. I took the bottom of the record player off. I then spliced speaker wires and connected them to a sub woofer amplifier. This amp. had speaker out connections to amplify the sound to external speakers. I kept the front speakers as well for the higher end sound spectrum. Sounds more complicated than it really was. Now it plays loud and clear. It is quite hard to find a record player that has stack ability so this is the feature that I enjoy most. Now I have a great record collection and am able to listen with pleasure.

This record player spins approximately 10-15% too fast when on the lowest setting. It’s not a huge difference, but it’s just enough to get annoying and ruin the music. This brand has put out multiple machines with this problem, so I would recommend getting a refund for the purchase rather than exchanging it.

Great retro looking piece. Sound quality is good and it looks just like something from the “old” days.

I love this record player so much that I
bought 2 of them, one for upstairs, one for
downstairs.It’s easy to operate, sounds Retro*
Vintage, and replacement needles are easy to
find (and inexpensive)-which is really important.
I love playing The Ventures old lps on this,along
with The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds!!
It’s just COOL!! I’m glad I gave it a whirl!!

The Stack-o-Matic has a nice sound quality and is both simple and convenient. It’s nice to find a turntable that hasn’t been too modernized.
