With a record playing - any record, of any genre - the sound the C62 makes is strangely remote and matter-of-fact. The ground wire helps with interference and static, especially when used on the Phono Output setting.

Crosley has made quite a name for itself where deeply affordable turntables, radios and cassette players are concerned. The plinth of the turntable and the speaker cabinets are available in black or grey finishes, as well as the walnut of this review sample.The speakers included are actually pretty good size, and I was amazed when we plugged just the turntable in to our larger system how rich the sound was. If using as a Phono output unit will need to be connected first to a phono pre-amp or the phono input of the stereo system.

These can be used to connect the turntable to an external amp, perhaps, or a pair of active speakers - the Crosley has an integrated phono stage, so there’s a toggle for switching between ‘line’ and ‘phono’. Negative wires will be black (if wires are the same color, these wires will have lines/dashes to differentiate) and connects to the black inputs.Should he find himself with a spare moment, Simon likes nothing more than publishing and then quickly deleting tweets about the state of the nation (in general), the state of Aston Villa (in particular) and the state of his partner's cat. I’ve been meaning to upgrade for a long time from our suitcase turntable (which is also a Crosley, but a much smaller, and older model than this) in to something we could keep at home and place on some new shelving. Nothing about the design of the Crosley C62 is going to startle or perturb - it looks exactly as you’d expect a turntable and a pair of compact bookshelf speakers to look.

That means spring clips for speaker cable, a switch for the integrated phono stage (in case you want to make use of the C62’s RCA outputs to connect the deck to an external amp or powered speakers) and a power on/off switch.

The turntable arrived without the counterweight that was necessary to operate the item, but upon messaging Crosley, they sent a counterweight that arrived two days later, and once installed and properly calibrated (which was very easy) the item plays records well. and compatibility with SBC and AAC codecs – hardly the cutting edge, but more than adequate for the majority of users the majority of the time. If using as a Line output (determined by the phono/line switch on back of unit) you can use these jacks to hook it into self-powered/active speakers.
