    JENSEN JTA-220 3-Speed Turntable with AM/FM Receiver & Stereo Speakers

    • If you want something cheap that will let you hear the content of your albums and you are okay with just fair sound then I recommend this, but if you are harkening back to the days of listening to albums on equipment better than just a "record player" you will probably begin to wish for better sound quality and should keep looking.

    • The sound quality is terrible

    • However, would only recommend for adults as we've gone through 2 units due to a preschooler pulling on the arm, which is not durable
    • I think it had to break in for the first couple of plays because it would drag a
    • the stereo back in place as it immediately fell off
    • Of course, you aren't shopping for the cheapest record player on Amazon if you want something that's top-of-the-line, but I think any consumer expects even an inexpensive product to be functional, at least to work as it is intended right out of the box.
    • I also have to mention the horrible sound!I don`t recommend this purchase
