Proceed with caution - Crosley stuff is mostly crap.
Anyone here have an opinion yet?
Anyone here know of site where someone who has used it has an opinion?
The reviews I found were all "That is so cool! Wish I had records so I could use it."
I just need it to be as good as my old, but still kicking, Vestax.
iPhone error.
This is true. I just got one at UO for $50! :face_melt:
Solid little portable, this.
good looks! I just got mine!
U slept, son!
He was probably from a store, as this is less than wholesale.

not mine, just sayin....
Non-store owning board member! :balla:
Urban Outfitters still has the ivory, mint, and black colors on sale at their retail outlets for $49.99. The red are $99.99. Just got mine last week in NYC. The black are really hard to find though. I managed to find one of the last ones in the city.
Same problem here. But the sound seems to only warble with 7" records. The 12" records play just fine. I doubled up the 7" records and it takes away from the sound warbling, but it's still somewhat noticeable. I was going to exchange it UO tomorrow, but it would probably be a waste of time. From what I've been reading on the forums online, all of these things probably have the same issue. And besides, it was only $50. Marked down from $180 at UO.
I have the Sound Burger as well. I wanted to give my Sound Burger a rest because it was starting to show signs of age (speed issues). When Crosley started talking about the Revolution about a year ago, I got amped!! But for all the FM transmitters, integrated speaker, and USB connections, you just can't beat the Sound Burger. For one, Sound Burger has a ceramic cartridge. The Revolution doesn't. This makes a big difference in the way of sound repro. The Sound Burger is also about a half inch shorter in height than the Revolution. Plus, it would have been nice if Crosley would have made a carrying case for the Revolution like Audio Technica did for the Sound Burger.
I own a Numark PT-01 USB as well, but got tired of carrying it around because it was so bulky. Before that, I bought a Vestax Handy Trax and ended up selling it on Craigslist when Numark introduced the PT-01. The odd shape and rounded bottom of the Handy Trax always bothered me for some reason.
