Nostalgic Looking Record Player

The first thing to comment on is along with the movement back to old technology is the old look and feel that Innovative Technology have done with this turntable. The look and feel is old world. It is housed in a suitcase looking box no slick high techie modern looking materials used here. It has been covered in what we all used to think was very sophisticated leatherette. It has a very analogue volume on off switch and of course it is a record player when it all comes down to it. It is designed to play an old record the old tech is really the only way to make it affordable and besides music is an experience and the old tech is part of that experience.

Portability in a Record Player.

Portability is one of the features that make this player is so popular. Being able to share this experience and take it with you like your other mobile devices is what people are wanting nowadays. The one thing I would recommend buying if you are taking your portable turntable around with you is a Crosley CR401-TA Record Carrier Case for 30+ Albums. This will protect your vinyl discs and help to keep them in good condition for many years. Likewise a RCA RD-1006 Discwasher Vinyl Record Care System will help to look after you records. With the Innovative Technology Portable Turntable you can take your favourite records with to friends, to parties, all sorts of places that will allow you to share the warm musical experience of these vinyl discs anywhere and everywhere.

Bluetooth Streaming Record Player.

The Innovative Technology Vintage 3 Speed Bluetooth Turntable has married the old with the new. The old records can with this marriage by streamed to your new technology mobile and current technology device via Bluetooth. This is so convenient and I thought a masterful stroke of genius when I first heard about it. You can Bluetooth to your home system or to a portable blue speaker system at home, to your phone, your IPod, IPod, any Android or OS device. This would also give you the ability to capture and record your analogue music to digital format. You would be able to list to your records through a big sound system. I note here that even though this record player has speakers they are small and do have some limitations, more about that next.

Built-In Full-Range Stereo Speakers

The Innovative Technology retro turntable speakers are front facing and built in to the suitcase style cabinet. The speakers are very adequate given their size. In a room that is quiet these little speakers have more than enough to be heard very clearly across the room. At say a party where a lot of people and noise is going on it is unlikely that you will be able to get enough volume from these speakers satisfactorily. There is also another minor shortfall when using the built in speakers the bass response is not amazing and a few purchasers of theses turntables have noted this fact when commenting about the product. The great news is that when you connect the record player by Bluetooth or RCA jack to a more capable audio system the results can be fantastic. Another way to improve the sound is to put on your headphones and plug to the headphone jack. This will give you privacy to listen exclusively to your music and make a big improvement to your listening pleasure if you love big bass.

Multiple ways to connect Your Record Player

As I explained earlier in this Innovative Technology Turntable Review this portable turntable has some very flexible connection Technology:-

Bluetooth wireless connection to to stream your digital music from an IPod, IPad, Smartphone or Media player through your turntable audio system.
Headphones or Earbuds 3.5mm Jack
RCA cable connection to an audio system
Aux In to stream your I Phone, I pad, IPod Android Phone, Media player and use this Record Player as a music centre.

This makes your Innovative Technology Nostalgic 3-Speed Vintage Bluetooth Turntable a very versatile music centre that allows you blast it out through an audio system and have a party using the RCA out Jacks. You could listen anywhere without disturbing others around you by using headphone or Earbuds. Or you can listen to your digital music through your turntable with speakers.

3-Speed Turntable (33 1/3, 45, 78 RPM) 45 adapter and needle (stylus ) included

The Innovative Technology Nostalgic Bluetooth Turntable is able to play all the records from current to very old:-

33 RPM LP Vinyl Discs
Very old 78 RPM sometimes called Bakerlite or Shellac records
45 RPM records or single discs.

This means you can purchase brand new LP’s or you can listen to your Parents or even records that your Grandparents may have listened to. The Innovative Technology 3-Speed Vintage Portable Turntable is a belt drive turntable which was the most common and reliable turntable mechanism. It has been in use continuously for many years and would have most likely been the type that your parents would have used. It was a more complicated mechanically but very consistent and cost effective. Despite it being a little more mechanically complex it is actually simpler than a direct drive turntable. It has a manual tone arm which means that you have to manually pick up the arm and place it gently on the start of the record. Placing the manual tone arm on the record is a skill that is easily learnt as is picking it up again when the record is finished. The manual tone arm reduces the complexity of this retro record player and adds to the experience when playing your favourite music.

In Conclusion

Innovative Technology Nostalgic 3-Speed Vintage Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable is available in a assorted colours including Black, Blue and Red. It is also available in both Bluetooth and Non Bluetooth models although I’m not sure why you would purchase the non Bluetooth version. Bluetooth adds another whole world of function to what is already a very cute retro style portable record player. It is really hard to say anything bad about this vintage style turntable and if there was I would be talking about the speakers. Apart from that for a sub $100 portable turntable that has that warm fuzzy nostalgic cuteness and great functionality I think it very hard to beat.

Customers Pros & Cons

Customers who purchased one of these were mostly very pleased with being able to play those old records again. There were a couple of people who had received the player from new in non functioning condition. I think one person return theirs for a refund and the other was able to get it going with a call to the support line. A few people mentioned the speakers not really being Hi-Fi quality but most also comment that they were adequate and still considered them to be good enough.
