5.0 out of 5 stars 006 Reporting!!!
The media could not be loaded. Well it seems to me that in 72 years of living on this Earth and enjoying music and especially turntables and phono cartridges one might say I've been around the block a few times. The turntable for review here is the Retro life h u 006 and compared to last year's Blockbuster turntable at such an entry level price the Angels horn HP double O2 I must say that this one is quite impressive!After tweaking the two speeds 33 and 45 the stability of the highly crafted machine is quite impressive but do thoroughly clean the inner and outer rims of the platter as it uses a very sophisticated speed detection and correction system. It is imperative that you supply your own RCA photo patches and I highly recommend the 3ft Cable Direct from Germany available here on Bolo for about 10 bucks. These cables can make an audible difference and seem to be a wonderful match for the Audio Technica cartridge and the Retro life tonar which in itself is very impressive!Some reviewers will complain about the use of plastic on the tone arm but I'm telling you the combination of the plastic head shell area and the metal tone arm works wonderfully with the Audio Technica 3600 l phone cartridge which can easily be upgraded to the two gram tracking 91b. Once this is done you will have a machine but you need not make any apologies to any of the audio files knobs who spent hundreds or even thousands on their equipment. From the lowest lows to the highest highs the detail is stunning! And so is the polymer wood plastic finish in cherry wine of the unit itself. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at in person rather than just pictures alone and the entire turntable kit built in the USA by you with foreign parts coming from China renders a first rate analog reproducer that you can be proud of and enjoy for years to come. Happy listening and God bless! PJs 2Update March 2023.. I just mounted the Audio Technica vm95c blue cartridge to the tone arm for an upgrade and now the sound quality has been taken up another level and it was so easy because of the threaded mounting holes in the new VM 95c. I highly recommend that retro life include this cartridge with this turntable in the future. The nice thing other than the easy mount is that the user can upgrade by simply buying a more expensive stylus right on up to the ml micro line one at the top of the line!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful sounding record player
I love this record player so much! It’s so beautiful and sounds incredible! It was pretty easy to set up and is easy to use now after set up! I have had great luck with this machine and the overall value for the cost was well worth it to me. It does great with keeping my records scratch resistant and I have also purchased one as a gift for a friend. They loved it too! I would highly recommend this brand!
4.0 out of 5 stars Looks great and sounds good too
Great for the price and easy to use and setup.Wish it came with basic items like rca coax cables and ground cable
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Turntable and looks to be good qualilty
Purchased this Turntable for my son as he started to get in to listening to records. We hooked it up tried both the RCA cables and Bluetooth. The BT worked however there was some noticeable sound quality issues on the high end. To be honest though I think it could have been the Bluetooth adapter that I was using for the stereo. So not necessarily the record player. I will try BT over some headphones and see if we still have the same issue. Next we tried the RCA cables which hooked directly up to a Pioneer receiver. It worked flawlessly. The sound was perfect at all listening levels.The setup was easy and the turntable seems to be great quality. The wood finish was beautiful.Other than that it worked right out of the box and exceeded my expectations. Very happy.
1.0 out of 5 stars Looks aren't everything....
This player really looks great! Honestly love the aesthetic and if you never have to put a record on it the 5 stars!Part1: (excitement and a pinch of hope)Our first one lasted about an hour and a half. We were a little skeptical at first as some of the highs from cymbals were scratchy but thought this was just a viynl-ism. After an hour the periodic slow downs with related pitch shifts really started to get noticeable. Soon the player sounded drunk and no belt cleaning or adjustments made a single bit of difference. I then called Bolo customer care, which was a great experience and the guy agreed to replace.Part 2: (ups and downs)We got the replacement the week after our issues and the support call. Put it all together carefully and let her rip. Sound quality was perfect, we really thought we had a good one. 4-5 records in there were a few slow downs and no matter what we did it continued to get worse. As a last effort we moved to a new known good record half way through it was all drunken sounding again. We immediately filed for a refund and packed both up and sent them on their way.Part 3: (a new hope?)On the way to drop these two useless beautiful items off for Bolo returns the thought crossed our minds that maybe we are the problem.. Honestly we can't count it out, lol. So we headed to the dreaded land of yellow price tags to pick up a possible answer to our concerns around total incompetence. While those employed of the land of yellow tags proved to be elusive and useless, a patron (self proclaimed audiophile) approached us as we examined the offerings looking for a suitable player. He claimed that audio-technica was the way to go and pointed out a $400 unit. We waited until he was well clear of us to pick up the $220 ATLP60XBT Bluetooth unit for purchase. Upon getting this unit home we nervously set it up, which should be noted was way easier than the retrolife unit, and paired it with our speaker. Ran one record after another with no issues, like absolutely none! Then moved into trouble records, ones we never could listen to before, and they played flawlessly. While I am sure we will have some issues eventually, we eclipsed the total run time of both now returned units and are truly satisfied with our purchase. Thanks retrolife for providing a heavy reminder that you get what you pay for and if it looks to good to be true it is!
5.0 out of 5 stars Works beautifully with great sound quality.
Makes my fifty year old record collection sound beautiful. It was easy to set up, connect to my powered speakers and operate.
Excellent product with sleek look and great sound
EDIT—-I had no trouble pairing this with my UEBoom2. Then suddenly 3 months later I did.This turntable does NOT have a Bluetooth reset button which some units do. After resetting the speaker, ensuring that the speaker wasnt paired with the iPhones, turning unit on and off many times, and changing the outlet I plugged into .. I found the solution.My husband’s knock off smart watch was the problem. My FitBit watch did not cause a problem. When we turned off his watch’s Bluetooth , I was able to pair turntable to speaker with no issue. I discovered this when he was out of the house , I could pair it. We then tried putting watch in a metal pot with lid on and could pair. Voila! I fixed the problem.*******For $199 with additional $40 coupon you cannot beat this.Setting it up was fairly easy but I did view a couple of videos to better understand how to set the counterweight on arm.Soon as you turn it on, blue light at back indicates Bluetooth connection has been found and it instantly found the UEBoom speaker I’m using, make sure you flip switch to LINE at back.My Roku Streambar Bluetooth settings did NOT find it but I will try to connect using usb cable included.I bought a $30 acrylic platter after one reviewer said it helped reduce static but so far I’ve found the felt platter to be just fine.
Diseño Minimalista
The media could not be loaded. El materia parece duradero, se vincula super facil vía Bluetooth, la calidad es buena y nítida, no hay que tener mucha experiencia para ajustar el brazo, pero alguien con experiencia le puede sacar el máximo al mismo, cabe mencionar que no cuenta con brazo automático que regrese a su poción de descanso, lo compre por su diseño Minimalista y su buen precio y no me arrepiento excelente compra
Nice product
Nice player for my old vinyl records. The blue tooth connectivity is a boon as it can be easily connected with my AVR.
Good quality basic turntable with many modern features
Excellent quality audiophile level turntable: Been listening to vinyl since the 1970's and needed a new turntable, the old Dual died after 40 years. I did a bit of research and this model of Retrolife checked all my boxes. Features an Audio Technica 3600 needle, so decent quality there. Has wireless ability, and importantly a built-in pre-amp (not all turntables in this price range offer this feature, saves you a LOT of headache...). The turntable quality is good, sound quality is acceptable, has many moden features, is attractive to look at and it's affordable. Got it on sale on Bolo with free shipping, so remember, it pays to shop around. Very happy with my purchase. Keep in mind if you're hardcore audiophile, this turntable may be too basic for you...
No es lo que esoeraba
Luce muy bien pero distorsiona muy agudo el sonido
