Victrola Empire

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this item! It's satisfyingly heavy and well built, and the style is just beautiful. I love the old fashioned switches and dials, that feel very smooth and solid. The manual radio dial in the middle is a lovely touch. We mainly bought this for playing vinyl, and it does not disappoint in sound quality, though the arm/needle are probably the cheapest feeling part of this item. It's very light and not well balanced, as such it skipped on all the records I tried. This was easily fixed by placing a small weight (I used a little blob of blue-tac initially) behind the needle. This gave it just enough weight to stop the skipping/bouncing. No it's not ideal and you shouldn't have to do it.....but it's a small price to pay for such a nice looking and functional music player. Radio works great and so do CD's. I haven't tried tapes yet as I don't have any!! Bluetooth also works perfectly. Sound quality is surprisingly deep and rich, so overall this is a really great piece of kit. I bought a used version from Amazon warehouse, which was supposed to be damaged in some way.....but I can't see anything wrong with it at all, so £50 saved!! Happy days!! Highly recommended.

I had to return my last all in one player (different brand) as the CD player was awful and made a lot of buzzing sounds whilst playing CDs, even my replacement item did the same. I decided to go for a different brand of player and I am so happy that I chose this player by Victrola. It looks and sounds amazing! I have tapes that play no problem, the records play as they should (sounds amazing), and the CD player (at time of writing this review) is working brilliantly!! It doesn't have the option to record to usb stick (as most players do), however, I bought another product which connects the player up to my laptop no problem. My advice would be to choose this player, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this for my husband and he is delighted with it. It looks and sounds great. The only thing I dislike is the quality of the controls. They are cheap plastic and do not look very substantial. For this price, I would have expected better.

Lovely looking item, bought to play some old vinyl records and play cd's. Item is very good quality and looks great. Played a vinyl record sound quality very good. Cd player not working tried a few different cds. This was a Xmas present from my wife , now have the agro of boxing up and returning the item. Can't understand how a electrical item can be sent out with part of the product not working , Surely the product should be thoroughly checked before sending. Very very disappointed.

Great vinyl record player! Bought it for my husband and he’s used it nonstop since he received it. Got delivered on time and in perfect conditions thanks to the safe packaging. We both love it, is a very versatile product. You can listen to your playlist either via bluetooth or through the aux input. You can also play your tunes on the radio and from the CD and cassette player. The vintage/modern look fits perfectly with our furniture and the cost is reasonable considering the quality of the materials used and the purity of the sound. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my wife's birthday and she was very happy with the looks and performance. She also received an Amazon Echo Dot, and when combined with this unit the end result is a lovely, nostalgic, excellent sounding and good looking piece of equipment, but with the convenience of streaming from Amazon Music etc. The record player, radio and Bluetooth sound really good. Haven't tried the CD yet, but I am sure it will be fine...

This record player is everything and more. I really recommend it. The sound quality is magnificent and such good value for money. In the video I didn’t even have it a quarter way full. It is a really beautiful piece and everything works perfectly. Although the box did come, not closed properly but it seemed as though the sealing inside and the record player itself wasn’t touched but just keep that in mind if you get this and are worried. Also even though the sound quality is amazing and it is so loud, I wouldn’t recommend having it on loud a lot cause it will wear it down quicker. But I would highly recommend this record player. If you are wanting a vintage styled, sleek, good value for money and unbelievable sound quality record player then you have to get this one. You won’t regret it.

Where have you been all my life!! Just received and absolutely amazing!! Vinyl sounds great, CD perfect and Bluetooth pairing so I can use Spotify and my old cassette collection can finally come out!! It's just brilliant and if like me you want to play it all then this little beauty is perfect! OK the sound is not high end quality but it's perfect for me!! Highly recommended
