Besides the disappointingly flimsy stylus, I received a defective player (uneven platter, would not play full sized LP at correct speed). I tried to contact Numark/Ion over the matter (still under warranty), but only received one response then none at all after I requested a return authorization. I also tried to contact them by phone, but the only department that answered the phone was the sales. Numark/Ion wants your money, but does not want to deal with you.

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
Unfortunately the unit I received has the same problems others reported, with the playback speed varying as you're playing a record. There is a +/- knob but it doesn't fix the variable speed issue. Since this was intended to be used to archive old albums to mp3 this renders it useless, and I am in the process of returning this item in favor of a more robust player.

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
I've had this turntable for eighteen months with maybe 30-40 hours of use. It has very good sound using headphones. The speaker without the headphones has low volume and tinny sound. It can be battery-operated but mine developed feedback problems after ten hours of use and can't be used that way anymore. The stylus is sapphire so it's life is far shorter than a diamond needle. The replacement is 40.00, enough to better buy a new turntable. I really like the portablity and the price. I would recommend it with reservations.

I got this turntable for my dad as a xmas gift. We opened it up as soon as we received it. [...]As for the turntable, very easy to use and the sound is very good with the built in speaker. I got really excited about this product and will likely get one for myself in the near future.I would highly recommend it. The only one issue is the case, when closing, u need to be a lil careful.Enjoy, my family is :)

built solid to travel, and priced to move as well, but that doesn't make up for the serious lack of sound quality. this product was a major disappointment. i highly recommend not buying it.

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
Product feels cheap and flimsy, especially the stylus. Would not play large LPs properly because of uneven platter. Tried to have Numark/Ion stand by their warranty, but they would not respond to email in a timely manner or respond by phone.

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
If you are concerned about the sound quality of the in unit speaker, then skip this item. If you like a low fi sound with great portability, great price, and USB connection, then I rec this fully. I love mine : ) although I wish it got a little louder.

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
been enjoying my vinyls now after 10 years of wait!!!... the PT01USB had so much possibilities, like converting all my vinyls to MP3 via the included software, listening from the built in speakers, line out to computer speakers through the earphone jack, listening from headphones and even portable by using batteries!!! all these for a very reasonable price!! love it!!! only thing is that i forgotten to state the power supply (supplied 110V) as i'm using in Singapore which is 220V but can easily be overcome by buying a US$9 convertor though....

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
The Numark PT-01USB is an excellent turntable for youngsters learning about vinyl, crate diggers, and music enthusiasts with less space. Very simple to use, the turntable is extremely portable and can run off D-batteries. At this price point, you can't find a cheaper high-quality turntable. Bravo, Numark!

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
This is a great product for listening to vinyl at many places in a given space. I play music, I make art, and I do this all in the same space. Thus, I have limited space to have a stereo setup. Numark's turntable makes it easy for me to keep listening to my vinyl collection, learning songs off old records, and being able to do that in a limited space. It is a convenient easy to use and move turntable that keeps me enjoying my records!

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
I just received this record player today. A few moments ago actually. I was excited to open the box. upon plugging it in and putting in my brand new King Tubby featuring Roots radics album i tested the on-board speaker. Most people complain about the low powered speaker which i do agree is somewhat inadequate for regular listening. I also recognise that this is a portable record player which is basically built for crate digging to test the records out on so i realise you either want loud speakers or long battery life and numark chose battery life.
That being said i am listening to it as we speak right now (triston palma) hooked up to my stereo of course and it sounds fantastic. It is the most piratical one for me at least. You can hook it up to almost anything and you can archive your rare vinyl.
For the price you can not beat this deal for a home listening purposes and crate digging record player.

Comments about Numark PT01USB - Portable DJ Turntable:
I purchased this unit with a desire to get back into Vinyl records cheaply. I researched many of the new USB connected units and settled on this one because:
1. Price, which was the cheapest of any unit I found
2. Portability, since it is 12 inches square and can run on batteries with its own speaker
3. Connectivity, it not only has USB by RCA outputs as well as both 1/4 and 1/8 headphone jacks
4. Quality, for the price the unit sounds good enough to me and works quite well
In its segment, I think this is the best deal currently.
Pros
- Clear Sound
