Excellent Turntable. Look No Further. Thank you Sherwood – I have had this turntable a while now and it’s awesome, I highly recommend it, I seriously cannot paraise it enough. Added bonus Belt driven, with… Read more

pitch control, Strobe Light, Target light, Anti-Skate and Counter Weight. Also S Shaped Manual Tone Arm. This great price turntable has all the bells and whistles of more expensive ones on the market. Sherwood make great HIFi equipment, I also have a Sherwood Amp and Speakers which are also awesome.

What a dud – The only output is RCA cable. I can't plug speakers into it. I can't get it to play via my tv. So it is useless to me. It sits in the corner gathering dust. What a waste of money. It needs speakers with it to make it any use at all.  Show details

This is awesome, I bought this a long time ago to pair with my YAMAHA system which the record player had a stuffed belt, I saw this at my local ALDI… Read more

and thought I would get it as I dont use it as much as I did when records were popular, but now after a full decade, its still going strong and the cassette deck is a great addition to have and it plays my old records and casettes beautifully and I have never had problems with it, I have always had great quality products from ALDI and I will never stop buying from them.

Lenoxx products – Bought this stereo through Bunnings market place 26/12/24. On setting it up and tunning in to the radio station the stereo was very sub standard. I… Read more

have called Lenoxx 5 times and emailed three times without a response from them at all. Will not buy a Lenoxx product again and will not buy from Bunnings market place ever again. Very disappointing.

A Perfect Budget Level Turntable – Bought this and a pair of Sony WH-CH720NB Bluetooth headphone so that records can be played at any time of the night and day and not annoy others.… Read more

Turntable was incredibly easy to assemble and although the unit is mainly plastic, it still looked very neat and minimalist. The start button only needs one press and the needle moved smoothly onto the record. The sound output with Sony headphones was unbelievable. It even sounded good with a very cheap Bluetooth speaker. My only minor complaints are that the front buttons are black on black and are flush with the casing which makes it a bit hard to see which button is where. Solved it by putting a small strip of white paper just above buttons with START, STOP, and UP/DOWN written on it. Another minor annoyance is the power button is located at the rear of the unit and not the front. My only major complaint is the trouble I had pairing the Bluetooth together. I advise not to use the Sony app first to set up the headphones. I could not get the headphones and turntable to pair until I re-set both the headphones and the turntable back to factory settings. I strongly advise having a good quality, dedicated set of Bluetooth headphones/speaker for just the turntable so that once they have been paired, they will then instantly connect when turned on again. I don't think the app makes any real difference to the quality of the music coming through the headphones. Sound was extraordinary, without fiddling with various settings. I highly recommend this so-called budget level turntable. For most people, this turntable is excellent value for money and is a perfect choice for those just starting a record collection or those who want to start playing their collection again. The Bluetooth aspect means you aren't tethered to the unit and can move around freely. The quality of the Bluetooth headphones/speaker is what will determine how good the music sounds, IMO.

Good for homw or work – Great turnatable, heavy, very heavy very solid, when I got back into vinyl it was hard to choose on this or a good home one, you get really no noise… Read more

off the direct drive motor , very good vibration padding , a good preamp built it and a choice of a s shape or straight tone arm, and is bullet proof, there are lots of reviews home vs dj turntables, for the price this is a cut above, lots of features this one has which you will never use at home, just a note it comes with a standard headshell only not the cs-1 cartridge and needle shown on the box, also it has usb software and leads to transfer vinyl to pc very handy solid good sound bullet proof

My partner purchased this item either 2 years ago, or maybe 3 years ago? It has not had much use, and has been stationary and hardly moved (despite… Read more

being on the retailers DJ section). I went to play a record on it 2 days ago, and it was dead. The PSU is okay, as it registers 12.2V on my multimeter. If this was a $99 turntable, I would expect this to only last 2 years, maybe 5? I contacted Musos Corner, who I have been dealing with for 39 years, and they said it only has a 12 month warranty, and to contact a repairer. Very disappointing, so now I will need to exercise Consumer Gurantee under ACL/ACCC to have this sorted. Now I just might buy an Aldi turntable, when it comes on special, instead of us spending $600 on a reputable turntable.

Better than you think – Let me start by saying I only paid $100 for this player. It has a decent solid feel with good sounding (if not loud) stereo speakers. It also has a… Read more

decent quality Audio Technica stylus on it. A pretty standard tonearm which has an adjustable counterweight. The Collegiate is transportable with a built-in leather handle . Also USB to PC tranfer of your records.

I found the sound acceptable, quite a warm tone from my records.And surprise it doesn't damage your records.

I've had expensive sound systems in the past and this is fine by me.

If you want to go the full vinyl experience then this is not for you but if you want to just chill with a beer on a Sunday it's fine.

OK if you want cheap and cheerful – It looks cool but it plays with too much wow and flutter when . It does have a pitch control on it which is a bonus to get the play at the correct… Read more

speed. The tiny mono speaker on it sounds awful but connected to external speakers it is a lot better. The crosley Collegiate is a much better player with decent speakers and cart.

Pretty disappointed with this. $279AUD (on sale) from The Iconic. The aluminium plate spins unevenly and shows evidence of being poorly machined with… Read more

a pitted surface. No on/off button. You have to unplug it to turn the Bluetooth light off. The instructions are laughable. No text - just basic line drawings.

The back of the turntable has the quality of a Teac Cassette player from the early 90's. Kanto (designed in Canada apparently) says they are looking to get into turntables, so this is their first go. I'd say don't bother if this is going to be your best effort at a first go.

Looks nice. Feels like cheap toy from China. My last turntable was a Technics 1210 Mark V with an Rotel RA-11 Amp - so maybe I'm being picky. It does connect ok with Bluetooth speakers despite there being no instructions (if you are familiar with trouble shooting bluetooth connections). It does play records adequately but the sound is definitely mediocre.

Despite them saying this is designed in Canada - it actually looks almost exactly like a $100 player from China... which I realised after buying this. I made this purchase based on Kanto's reputation in speakers. I wouldn't be buying their speakers based on their turntable reputation - that's for sure.

Nostalgia- in a bad way – This product has the worst speakers I’ve experienced since I was a kid in the 80’s. Taping onto cassette from the radio gave me better audio quality… Read more

than the output from the BCD120. There is no stereo output. There is no Bluetooth output. This is a 500 dollar waste of money- do not buy.
