Portable Record Player Reviews

If you are looking for portable record player reviews you have come to the right place. I have plenty of reviews on portable record players on this site to show how they work and what other people have found about them when they have purchased. You probably want to know what problems, if any, that people who have already purchased have found with their portable turntable.

If they have found that it’s a great turntable they will be quick to tell everyone – if they’ve found problems with it they will be much quicker and louder at telling others when it doesn’t work properly. That’s just human nature at work.

Portable Record Player Reviews From Family

One of the best portable turntables reviews and opinions on the build quality and sound quality is from friends and family however if they are not into the vinyl record craze that is currently sweeping the globe then you have a problem Houston! I suggest the finding a friend or friend of a friend is the best way of getting to know the product really well so that you can see it, touch it and smell it – you know get really familiar with it.

There is only one problem with friend of a friend approach to working out whether a portable record player is the one you want – you only get to see one portable record player. To get a good broad range opinion of what available on the market you need lots and lots of friends so that you can see lots of record players in action to get really up close and personal with. Mostly that system doesn’t work very well so the next option is to visit local stores to have a look at display units and see a demo.

Try Your Local Store But Is This A Review?

The downside for visit to local stores is the sales people (read that as usually “pushy” sales people). Don’t get me wrong I know everyone has to make a dollar but I really don’t like being badgered whilst trying to get cosy with a portable turntable. Often the store policy may not allow you to take your own vinyl to play on the turntable. You have to play their records instead and it’s not the same as listening to your own stuff that you are familiar with – that you’ve grown to love and know all the nuances of the music that will give you a much better idea of how it will sound when you get it home.

Another problem with the store visits is that you are only getting the “sales sanitised” version of how it works and you won’t get any real idea of how reliable they are or how well they perform until after you’ve handed the money over and then only to find out they don’t take returns.

Finding A Portable Record Player Review

So. . . by getting online as you obviously are and reading other peoples portable record player reviews you can get a pretty good indication on a broad scale of how other users have found the product performs. This can be really important and not only that you’ll be able to find the tips and tricks others have discovered after purchasing the product.

The reviews that you will see here will tell you about the features of the portable record player. How convenient and lightweight they are, this is one of the main characteristics of portable turntables apart from audio performance. You will also be able to see what others have thought about the turntables and any problems that they have had. The Amazon system of allowing customers to leave their opinions of the products is well known and very candid. I have seen some absolutely scathing comments made by customers who have had problems with products and Amazon will investigate the issue but they will never sanitise the reviews. So you can be sure that what you see is what the customer wrote.

Ebay Is An Option But Again Not A Review

You could use EBay to purchase a portable record player but there’s no way of knowing how suitable for you as there is no reviews on the individual product the only thing that EBay measures is the quality of the seller which is very useful but does not help you with a portable record player review needs. The best that you could hope for would be that if you purchase and don’t like the product you could send it back and get a full refund. Mostly sellers will not allow this option for you as they will then have to risk that you send it back with the packaging undamaged and in pristine condition so that they can resell the product to someone else. Everyone wants to buy their new product and feel like they are the only person to have seen or touched it since it was put in the packaging at the factory.

Most people will not want to pay retail price for a previously opened package and the sellers are acutely aware of this fact therefore are unwilling to take a chance that if they resell a previously opened package that they may risk the purchaser downgrading their seller rating. No seller wants to lose any rating as buyer will judge how good they are at supplying exactly what is advertised and promptly. A lot of the savvy buyers will look at the comments made by other buyers to see if there are bad ones.

The Amazing Amazon System

The Amazon system of allowing buyers to post openly about the products that they have purchased and further to that, allowing buyers to post photos and videos to demonstrate the point that they are making is first class and most informative. Amazon even go to the trouble of ensuring that these comments photos and videos are directly on the sales page. A prospective buyer is able to access easily all the comments made about a product both good and bad. This kind of information is invaluable when you are deciding what type of product you would like to purchase and how suitable it will be for you purposes. Add to this is the fact that Amazon have a incredible reputation for customer service. They supply good products at good prices and get it to they’re customer quickly.

A Recommended Method Of Finding A Review

My recommendation is that when you are hunting for a portable record player review that you start looking on this site and then if you see something you like click through to the Amazon product and just see what other are saying about the good or the bad that they found. You’ll also see that product manufacturers are also able to check bad comments and communicate with the buyer to resolve the issues. You can see on the sales page how that resolution is finalized and whether the buyer was happy with the resolution.
