Crosley Portable Turntables Turntable v. Record Player?
I was wondering what the difference is between a record player and a turntable.
Can you play records on both? You see on urbanoutfitters i was debating on whether to buy this Crosley AV Room Portable USB Turntable. because i recently was interested in old 80's music and i thought it would be neat to play them on vinyl.
Does this product play records or is it just to be like a DJ.. and what is the USB for(sorry not so good with technology) so if any one could please help me out and explain this to where i could understand that would be great! thanks in advance
So my big question really is can i listen to music on a turn table by just placing the record on it?
There is no basic difference. Generally, a turntable is just the hardware you need to play the records (vinyl), and you also need an amplifier and speakers. Whereas a record player is everything in one unit.
The Crosley AV Room Portable USB Turntable looks like a great product for playing your 80's music. From urbanoutfitters.com - "The belt-drive turntable plays 7" and 12" records at 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm. Automatic return tone arm; diamond stylus needle; adjustable tone control; built in dynamic full range stereo speakers."
I'm guessing the USB is for power and/or letting you copy your music as MP3 files?
So to answer your basic question, if your turntable has an amplifier and speakers, all you need to do is place a record on it, aim the arm on the outside track, and listen away.
Don't let the size of the Crosley Mini Turntable fool you! This powerful record player packs the same punch as Crosley's larger turntables, but in a smaller, portable size.
