6 Reasons For A Crosley Portable Turntable
6 reasons why you should look at the Crosley portable turntable range
Reason 1 Crosley Portable Confidence
Are you looking at the new vinyl records thingy and wondering if you should be in on the leading of what could be an enormous resurgence of this low tech tactile media for the delivery of music and sound? The signs are all pointing towards this not going away in the near future. I believe that records have a place in your library they’ve always had a place in mine.
Crosley are a company who have been in the industry of making devices to play sound on for many decades. The Crosley Radio Company began making radios in the 1920s and really hasn’t stopped since they were one of the big players in the industry and in fact bought out many smaller competitors along the way. They know a thing or two about sound reproduction.
Crosley have a number of turntables and radio combination units available in their range of sound equipment. They have also diversified into some other affiliated products. Vinyl Records, Jukeboxes, Radios mostly with vintage style themes.
Some people see these old style or vintage style units as being a bit gimmicky but hey everyone has an opinion, we’re all entitled to it. The first reason for looking at Crosley portable turntables are that the company has had a credible name for nearly a century.
Reason 2 Crosley Portable Product Reliability
One of the desirable features of any product (and that includes a portable turntable) is that you are confident that the product you buy will do what the manufacturer states it will. If for some reason you have issues with a Crosley portable Turntable that you have bought then you are dealing with a company that will stand by its name to ensure that as a customer you get looked after. You can’t be around for as long as Crosley have been and not learn a thing or two about customer relations and product reliability. That is my second reason for purchasing a Crosley portable turntable.
Reason 3 Crosley Portable Turntable Styling
Crosley have made themselves a leader in producing period looking equipment with current technology in behind the facade of old world look and feel. Personally I prefer to see my current tech look like current technology and feel like current technology. Fortunately we all have our own opinions. The fact that the old world units that Crosley are producing are flying out the door means that my opinion about look and feel really doesn’t count for much. Crosley produce some current looking gear that in their range it’s not all the old world thingy. The range of colours and styles is very period looking Crosley have obviously done they’re research into what was popular at the time.
Then again as leaders in the industry for such a long period of time they probably only had to delve back into their own archives to seek out designs that they could use as inspiration for the new designs. The colour range and style they had already pioneered as an industry leader right through the 40s, 50s, and 60s. The novel and unique look that makes Crosley stand out is my third reason for looking at the Crosley portable turntables.
Reason 4 Crosley Portable Product Range
The range of portable turntables that Crosley have is large and they have a model that will suit almost everyone that is considering entering the vinyl record revolution. From the CR6232A-BR Nomad Portable USB Turntable to the CR6234A-BT Dansette, CR8005A-TU Cruiser, CR6010A-RE Collegiate, CR6016A-BL Spinnerette..They all have names and looks that could be straight out of the 40s, 50s or 60s and yet the they all have current high tech internals. Some models are really portable, so portable and so small they can fit anywhere (see the CR8016A-GY Messenger Portable) in fact that they even run from standard commonly available batteries. So if you were into buying second hand records you could take your player along with you to places like car boot sales and check your records before you hand over the cash. The range of portable turntables is my fourth reason for taking a look at Crosley turntables product line up. If you’re not into portables have a look, you’ll probably find a turntable that suits you.
Reason 5 Crosley Portable Connections
