![]() Includes a 45 adapter, phono cartridge and RCA cable Gray turntable features gold accents for a sleek, modern lookīluetooth feature allows you to connect turntable to your Bluetooth speaker wirelessly Here's EVERYTHING Target has to say about this product: At least there are no specs anywhere on the Target website. ![]() If they were serious about making a serious turntable, they would publish specs on their product. This is a product aimed at uninformed, impulse shoppers that want a turntable because it's the cool thing to have. This one is at 2.5 grams, which seems a bit more reasonable.I'm not saying it's the best, or for the longtimers like you and me, but for someone considering either a Crosley or this, this one ticks off a few more of the things I look for in a table.I may just have to go to Target and inspect one of these myself just to see if it passes muster.Like I said, the jury's still out because it's too new.Of course, you can still buy something else at Target, if the Heyday doesn't pan out.They're selling more vinyl records now, which can't be THAT bad a thing.Įveryone? No, not even close. Of course, this is apparently their house brand, which means they designed it themselves.And I have not seen a cheap turntable in ages with a counterweight, removable cartridge and anti-skating dial, especially for UNDER $100 (You can also use your own preamp, attach to a receiver with the RCA cables and/or replace the cartridge with a different model like a Shure or Ortofon).And we ALL know that the tracking forces on those Crosleys are hideous and insidious! Our own BMRR tested the tracking force of the Crosley and it was off the scale! What I'd really like to know is if any of you have bought one or inspected one closer at a Target near you.Some more reviews of this thing might be in order before we accept it into the canon of "new budget tables" worth recommending.So far, it looks better than a Crosley and that's all I can say about it.Again, more thoughts, guys? :-k ![]() ![]() Ladies and gentlemen.Check out the Heyday turntable from Target! Here is a review I found that might interest you guys.Īgain, I have no affiliation whatsoever with this table.I only came across it in my travels today and was wondering what you all think.Who knows? It might just be another option to the U-Turn, but I will be cautious in making any more verdicts until I hear what the expert Engineers here have to say.So, guys, what say you? :-k ![]() THAT SAID, let it not go unsaid that I will still fight for the virtues of a well-built VINTAGE turntable ANY DAY.No one is dissuading me from buying vintage in the least and I will still go vintage if given a choice.I still find the aesthetics and quality of a VINTAGE turntable to be mostly miles above the rest.You all know the tables in my personal arsenal.BUT, for a newbie just getting their feet wet in the hobby and wanting something more substantial (and well-built) than a Crosley, Ion, or similar clone, for a minimum amount of coin, this may be just what they've been looking for! I just came across this NEW turntable today.It has all the features you could want.Counterweight? Check! Anti-Skating Dial? Check! Check! Removable or upgradeable cartridge? Check! Check! Check! It also has the ability to sync with Bluetooth speakers, if you're into that sort of thing.You can use the built-in preamp, but it also gives you the option to switch to YOUR OWN preamp, should you desire.It comes with a standard Audio Technica cartridge (set to 2.5 grams in the video below), but it looks like you could upgrade to an Ortofon or any other cartridge of your choice.The kicker.It's UNDER $100, people. ![]()
