 Great while it lasted. December 2, 2008
On nearly the second anniversary of receiving this player, the table stopped spinning. I called Numark and since it was out of warranty there was nothing they could do for me. The player was awesome. It one of my favorite belongings. The sound was pretty good for a built-in speaker. None of my records were damaged by the player, and the speed never seemed to waver. I gave it one star for every year of enjoyment I got. I'll be buying a crosley next, and if that one craps out I would probably buy another Numark. I just wish it hadn't have broken in the first place.
So close to being great! November 24, 2008
I want to love this little Numie, I really, REALLY do. It fits perfectly in a record crate, and has an overall good feel to it. It can run for quite a long time off of batteries, which is neat. And somehow, it manages to get HUGE sound out of its little built-in speaker. It's held up very well over the past 80 or so hours of usage, even after being toted around and tossed about.
HOWEVER, however, as others have mentioned, there is a very noticeable audio quality difficiency with certain frequencies. It's apparent when using the built-in speaker, and totally overwhelming when using headphones or recording (and don't worry, I tried all the outputs, at all different levels with types of equipment). I haven't taken the plunge and replaced the stylus (or even the whole cartridge), because that'd be about 40% of the cost of the entire unit right there. If I knew for sure that that'd solve the problem, though, I'd go for it!
Another odd quirk is trying to play records with the unit plugged in and batteries installed. It seems like the RPMs are more apt to drop when in this configuration. It's absolutely not a dealbreaker, as it's super-easy to pop out the batteries when you're not using them, but I thought I'd mention it for anyone else experiencing the same issue. I get pitch-perfect speed when using just the AC adapter -or- just batteries.
Ah, Numark PT01... you're such a neat, neat record player. Why can't you just sound a little better!??

This is a great little turntable. I have had it about two years and have never had a problem with it. Those who are disappointed by the fact that they cannot hook it up to their stereo would do well to read the name of the product; Numark PT01 Portable Turntable.

if your looking at this to buy to play on your house stereo you will probably be disappointed this is a portable player and should be used as such. it has a very tinny sound no depth at all do not be cheap when it comes to purchasing a record player
Great little turntable! September 2, 2008
Now since last year I have been looking for a turntable to use for my lp collection and I have found just what I was looking for. This turntable works great and connects easily with any speaker system that you may have.
