LoopTone 10 in 1 Bluetooth in/Out Record Player 3 Speed Vinyl Vintage Turntable CD Player Cassette AM/FM Radio 2 Built in Speaker USB/SD Recorder Aux-in RCA Line-Out

This is an Update to our Dec 11 2023 Three-Star Review that was based on the fact that the LoopTone Factory Quality Assurance let a product go out that had a non-functional CD Tray. [We also did not like the phonograph needle-arm raise-lower lever operation that was loose and did nothing for 90% of the lever’s travel.] Amazon was great in that I was able to get a replacement in a few days with no more hassle other than having to repackage and get the defective one to UPS. The CD Tray functioned on the replacement unit. This was the only combination/all-in-one player we could find that has Bluetooth In [LoopTone can Receive and Play Audio from other Bluetooth devices like a Smart-Phone] AND Out [LoopTone can Transmit Audio from the selected LoopTone source to Bluetooth speakers or headphones]. It replaces [to the extent it can] a wonderful 7-year-old TEAC LP-R Series All-In-One Player whose CD Tray mechanism went bad. We chose this LoopTone model because, given the small built-in speakers of unknown wattage, we would be able to integrate Bluetooth 'nearly-wireless' speakers if we wanted. A Note on ‘Quality’: The Chinese-built quality made us hesitant to buy it. As this is the only All-In-One that has the Bluetooth In And Out functionality, we went with it, having set our expectations accordingly. The first one we received had the CD Tray and Phonograph Lift-Arm Lever problems, and as soon as we tried the Phonograph on the replacement unit, there was a noticeable grinding sound when the turntable rotated. We were ready to go through the repackage and return hassle again, but being desperate to avoid that, we ’studied’ the problem for a few minutes and ended up ‘resolving’ it by applying a ‘bending’ force to the chrome spindle in a direction that moved the rotating turntable away from the plastic turntable housing that it was ‘rubbing’ against. Manufacturing is outsourced to China because it saves a few bucks, so we are stuck with that for the foreseeable future. End Note. The LoopTone is surprisingly light and small - I am surmising that the small side-facing speakers and bare-bones Tape functionality allow for the shrinkage. Despite the small speakers, the sound quality and volume sound fine to our non-audiophile ears. All the features that we tested functioned as expected. [The phonograph needle-arm lift-lever is not as loose, and the lever lifts after only 50% of ’no-lift’ travel instead of 90% on the initial unit.]. We did not test the USB, SD Card, Auxiliary Input, Headphone Input, Bluetooth In/Receive, Line Output to wired speakers, or any Recording operations [this thing does a lot!]. As expected, the Tape Player lacked the rewind capability we had in our TEAC, but the playback audio was fine. The Phono, CD Player, Tuner, and Tape all produced fine sound, and all the features worked as expected. [We also only tested the 33-1/3 Revolutions Per Minute Phonograph speed.]. We aren’t fond of the slider-switch control design that selects the various ‘modes’ like Phono, CD, Radio, and so forth. In addition to being kind of hard to see, I have to wonder how many cycles of mechanically moving these back and forth it will take before a failure happens. Our old TEAC and other All-In-One units use push buttons to make these selections. Note that the LoopTone Volume and Tuner knobs are not motor driven, so the Remote can not control them. The Remote only controls the CD Player electronic features like Track Changing, Stop/Start Play. It also controls some other Electronic features associated with the USB and SD Card. It works [it's definitely not a toy!], but keep your expectations low and Read The Manual. LoopTone Bluetooth Out: We purchased a pair of tiny and pretty amazing Total Wireless Stereo [TWS] capable speakers from NotABrick, and the LoopTone Bluetooth Paired with them seamlessly [Read The Manual] via a simple button push on the LoopTone, and the Bluetooth speakers provide great spatially-separated Stereo with noticeably more Bass than the LoopTone speakers. The only downside to the setup is that the LoopTone Volume Control does not control the Bluetooth NotABrick speaker volume; you have to use the Volume Control buttons on either of the speakers. So, all-in-all, and despite an initial rough patch, our short-term review is a five-star. We would take a fraction of that off due to our less than stellar confidence in the manufacturing QA, but decided to not give it a four-star because other than the Tape functionality, it has a very robust combination of pretty well-designed features including the not-to-be-found-elsewhere Bluetooth functionality. If you don’t mind ‘Made In China’ hit-and-miss quality [Amazon helps to make up for this] and are looking for a good Bluetooth In AND Out enabled All-In-One player with decent perfectly serviceable sound quality, this LoopTone model is your best bet at this date.

Very small plastic function knows in the mono player. Came with Canadian plug. I had to purchase an adapter in order to plug into the mains. Extremely light and disappointed in the quality of the product for the price.

Excellent product, very good sound in all modes of playing.

Great sound every function works great.The Bluetooth is very easy to pair turning this stereo into a powerhouse.

It’s awesome and a great price
