- CR8005F-TN Cruiser Plus Record Player, Tourmaline

He has had countless hours of entertainment playing his vinyl collection. Speaker was adequate but bought a remote speaker so he can carry his music around the house. He has told all of his friends about this wonderful little turntable with a handle and carrying case. Highly recommend the product.

To the point: It works, no issues connecting Bluetooth speakers. No issues with playing my LP vinyl records. Have been playing often and for extended periods swapping albums. Would I recommend this? Sure so long as you understand it's a budget player. I'll update if anything changes. TLDR: So as I said the player is a budget one. It does the job but if you're looking for that ultimate experience, look elsewhere and with a much larger budget. This thing brings a low end needle on the cartridge. You get a lot of pops and noise. The tone-arm does not have a manual counter weight and no anti-skate adjustment. It does have pitch which is interesting considering the lack of manual adjustment features. As for the platter, it's a generic compact size. Small to fit anywhere but able to support the larger LP vinyls. As for the internal construction no idea. I don't want to test really if a record puck would end up harming the motor/belt. I am using an acrylic mat and the system hasn't broken down on me yet so it's not too fragile. Back to the tone-arm, it has a cuing-lever and a switch for the platter mode. One mode has the platter going always regardless of tone-arm position. The other mode is the auto on off feature that is based on whether the arm is over the record or reached the end. There is a 3 position switch for selecting Bluetooth source, Bluetooth Speakers, and Phono. From day 1 I have been using external speakers so honestly I have no idea what this thing sounds without them. It has built in speakers but I have not once used them at all. I have a spare Bose system with a passive woofer and have no use for the built in speakers. This player supports 45, 78, and what I play 33 1/3. It brings the necessary spindle adaptor too. This player is replacing an older Crosley I've had for over 2 decades now and the only reason I'm replacing it is because it had been in storage for the past 4 or so years and something made a nest inside it. After cleaning it out I may have missed something and it started to smell like smoke. So not risking a fire, decided to get a low budget replacement while I work on saving for a full blown system. Final thoughts. I have bought some vinyls recently from Amazon and Barnes and Noble, it honestly is a hit or miss based on the quality of manufacturing. Some vinyls come out great and sturdy others warped and fragile looking. So long as you know this is a budget player and some vinyls are not made with the best in mind, you'll be fine. It still working providing my music. Hopefully it will last a long time like the first Crosley I had.

Bought as a replacement for my son. He is into vinyl. Solid lil record player. Not ground breaking sound but you’re not paying for that.

Sounds great and looks so cute in the room! The perfect addition to any room!

Nothing crazy. Work great and sounds pretty good for how small it is. This company has a niche and it’s pretty cool. Built well, it seems like.

Love it sounds amazing

I first received a one of these Crosley players from work as a gift. Out of the box, it didn't work. I returned it to my work and they gave me a gift card to order another one. I ordered one in the White Sand color and it worked at first. I used it probably 6 times over a year. I got a new record around the holidays and went to play it and the player wouldn't turn on. Now I've purchased a third player and received the wrong color. I ordered Tourmaline, but received the Mint color as seen in the picture. This player also would not power on upon unboxing. My sister had a Voyager that is several years old and works great so I'm trying to give this model a fair chance, especially since I didn't have to pay for the first couple. I truly don't understand how this model is still being sold because this is an issue I've seen people complain about all across the internet. I understand this is a cheap player, but it should really he priced around 30 bucks max if it's not going to last more than a year IF IT EVEN WORKS IN THE FIRST PLACE. UPDATE: Received replacement. At least it was the right color. It DID turn on out of the box, but quickly deteriorated. Turned it on once and the red power button came on but the turntable didn't turn. Turned off and turned back on, the power light turned purple, still not spin. Turned off and turned back on again and this time the power didn't come on at all. Tried a different power supply and it still wouldn't come on. What a waste of time and money. Crosley should (but wont) be ashamed of themselves.

This was a cool vintage record player. I get compliments on it all the time.

Very poor tune , and a muffled voice

It's a nice portable record player, sounds pretty good to. I added a Bluetooth mini Bose and it's perfect.

Sometimes it makes the sound of the vinyl weird but it’s only if the vinyl is in bad shape or it’s wobbly. I don’t know how to fix it but I recommend

Es toda una belleza, sinceramente en cuanto llegó, para mi gran fortuna, también llegaron unas agujas doradas que en cuanto desempaqué la tornamesa, le hice el cambio de la aguja de fábrica, el resultado, una joya de música que se escuchan en mi teatro en casa, solo juzguen por ustedes mismos. Los materiales de la tornamesa son muy buenos, es robusta y la calidad de transmisión bluetooth es excelente, hay que considerar en tus dispositivos que reciban el audio de la tornamesa el hecho de que deben de ecualizar el sistema de audio, ya que viene con agudos algo fuertes, nada que una pequeña corrección no solucione jejejeje.
