Arkrocket Taurus II Mid-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player Bluetooth USB SD CD Player Radio Retro Turntable Classic Jukebox (Taurus II - Black)

I bought the Arkrocket Saturn V Full Size Jukebox with Stand. Well I was shocked at the big difference between this one and their cheaper model. This one has lots and lots of extras that the cheaper model just doesn’t have. This model is well worth the extra money! Let me tell you a little about this one.First off it has many ways of playing your Music. It can use a USB A Flash drive or USB C with an adapter on it (up to 999 songs per drive), an SD Card, a CD Player, a Turntable (78, 33 1/3 &45 RPM) with a Magnetic Cartridge and Record return, an FM Radio and of course Bluetooth. It does NOT connect to Wi-Fi or the Internet. You can use your Phone, Tablet, Laptop etc. to play Music from the Internet using Bluetooth.Mine has 2 Tweeters for the high end sounds, 2 Mid Range Speakers for the Mid Sounds and 1 Huge Woofer for the Low End Sounds. It comes with 2 Remote Controls. One for the Music player functions and one for the Lights (more on that later).The sound is incredible! It sounds just like the Jukes of the 50’s, 60’s era! It goes very loud! It has 100 Watts RMS. Most Speakers and equipment sold today use IPP to measure Wattage. So 100 Watts IPP is really only about 20 actual Watts. But this baby uses RMS to measure its wattage and that means it’s much much louder than regular Speakers are at 100 Watts. It goes so loud (if you turn it up that high) that it’ll blow you out of your socks! It has an EQ button on the Juke (and on the Remote) and it should be set to ROCK for the best sound (especially from the Woofer).The cheaper model of this unit has a Crystal Cartridge for the Record Player. Those are junk Carts. A Magnetic Cart like this model has, has much, much better sound quality when playing old Records.The Music Remote controls just about everything on the Juke without having to go over to it to hit any buttons on it, and yes, it can play the songs Randomly (aka Shuffle) so that you will NOT always hear the songs in the same order. On the Remote you can skip ahead or skip back through the songs. Set the EQ (Equalizer), Raise and lower the Volume and a bunch of other things.The Color Remote can do the following: Change the Jukebox Colors (that go around the edge of the Juke) to many different Solid Colors such as Red, Purple, Yellow, White, Blue, Green, etc. It can also be set to be Multicolored and move around the Juke to give it a really cool look! You can also vary the speed of the Colors dashing around it. You can do a lot of different Color patterns on it. The Color Remote has 24 buttons on it, so you can imagine all the Color Combos you can do on this thing! The Colors can work separately from the Music, meaning you can shut off the Juke and still have it lit up the way you want it or you can shut off the Color when playing the Music (who would do that). The Remotes use a single CR2025 or CR2032 battery that comes in the Remotes. NO stupid built-in battery that will go dead and then you can’t use the Remote anymore. Make sure you pull the clear plastic tab out of the back of the Remotes so that they will work (that connects the Battery to the Remotes). Now you are going to say Oh, no, more Remotes! No problem! There are two Magnetic Remote holders on the Juke to put the Remotes on when you aren’t using them so they won’t get lost. Each Remote is almost the size of a credit card and about 3 times as thick.I bought the one in Oak because the Wood finish looks like the old Jukes. Some of you younger people like Black and might want to get that instead. The Black one is actually the Oak one, but it is painted Black. I bought the one with the Stand. It serves two purposes. You put the Juke on the Stand which makes it higher and the Record Player is also then about your eye level (depending how tall you are). The other reason for getting it is it has 2 drawers on it. I have one drawer filled with 100 CDs that I made of my songs and the other drawer is filled with the other Remotes I have for all my other stuff that I have in the same room (I have the Juke in my living room) and I even put several USB drives with songs on them in there too!The cheaper model Juke has a couple of buttons on the back that you have to reach behind it and move them to do certain things, but with this model you don’t have to do that because those buttons are on the Remote.Well I hope I’ve included most of what this Juke can do. I probably missed a couple of things, but what the heck, no one is perfect. I hope this review answers a lot of your questions you might have of this Jukebox. Oh yeah, one more thing. It weighs approx. 100 pounds and comes double boxed. It has wheels on the bottom to roll it where you want it, but when you put it on the stand, then the wheels are no longer movable while it is on the stand. The outer Box also tells you which end to open it, and that’s so the wheels will be on the floor to push it where you want it. There are 4 holes on the stand where the wheels go into when you put it on the stand.Enjoy!

The media could not be loaded. Somehow my first review wasn’t complete. So here I go again!First I second the first review of the Saturn V. I can’t think of anything they didn’t cover.I bought the Saturn V. I love it!I had a problem with the lights that I caused. I sent a message to them, not expecting a reply until the next day. He responded immediately, and in a simple text, he helped me correct what I had caused.After I checked the radio, CD player, and record player, I was ready to set the unit in the base. The Saturn V comes with wheels on it, but the base doesn’t. So I added casters I bought at a hardware store. Raised the jukebox a couple of inches. Now it is almost 64” tall. Took a few minutes to install them, and now I can easily move the juke box anywhere I want to. I still have to find a place in my home to display it and listen to my 50’s and 60’s rock and and roll. I have to find the perfect place for it since I want everyone to see the nostalgia and sounds of that era. Sound quality is excellent to me. Volume is great. I can hear it from anywhere in the house. A beautiful piece indeed, and worth every cent I paid for it. Excellent company to purchase from. They are quick to respond, kind and thoughtful.If you are pondering on if you should purchase one or not, don’t wait too long, or they may be sold out. You don’t want to miss this one.

What I can say for the pros is it absolutely looks great. I get a lot of compliments when people see it and everybody wants to hear it. I use Bluetooth from my phone. I haven't played a record on it yet or used the CD inside of it because I don't have either. I will say the speakers leave a little to be desired but they're fine but just slightly tinny or technically I would say heavy on the treble very little base. At some point in time I'll look and see if I can attach a subwoofer to this which would make it great

Great machine(Oak) arrived in two days no cracks, no dents. Plays all functions , but itt does need lights by control panel , defently reminds me of the good old days , and the sounds are remarkable the phonograph does skip on some of my records and they do not skip on my more expensive turntable overall the price is a little high but so is everything in this age. Do not hesitate to buy….🎶🎶🎶👍👌👍👍👍

I would give this thing negative stars if it were possible; first it sounds like crap; so, you absolutely have to attach an entire independent stereo system; I got more sound out of my two little 3.5” surround speakers than this gigantic piece. Additionally,, the pictures in the advertisement are completely false advertising; the jukebox does nothing but slowly transition from one color to the next; the tube never displays more than one individual color at a time; unlike the picturein the advertisement, that shows at least two..,.and then there is absolutely no light synchronization to the beat of the music, like any normal jukebox; the tubes just slowly transition from one color to the next without any regard for the beat of the music that’s actually playing. Honestly, you would get more sound out of a $50 Bluetooth speaker with led lights built into the speakers….and at least the manufacturer would have enough sense to have the leds synchronized to the beat of the music. I wouldn’t pay $10 for this thing. I already know the merchant will try to make me pay to ship it back to China, even though it was absolutely false advertising that induced me to buy this piece of garbage in the first place; I wouldn’t even keep it for free; if Amazon won’t step in and help me, I’m taking this thing straight to the dump, where it belongs… with all the other garbage!

jukebox is so small it looks like a toy, really wishing I had got the Saturn, but if tiny is what you like, then you will probably like this
