Ya! I’m surprised to hear you say that! Thanks for the good advice on the LP Gear stylus!

I had the same problem with Pfanstiehl on an ADC replacement stylus for the QLM 30 III, which is rated at 3-5 grams and it bottoms out at 2g. The cartridge is in an old changer with no adjustable tracking force, so I can't use it. 20 bucks wasted.

Hopefully someone in the Record Player group will get one. Could be fun to hear how it compares to a classroom player.

Hey there I have watched your videos so I know what you think of modern portables like the little suitcase players, but although this thing is a lot of plastic I have to say it’s the best sounding small portable I have ever heard. I generally listen to my records on a proper component system with either a Thorens TD 240-2 with an Ortofon OM20 or Thorens TD 103 A with an Ortofon 2M Blue so I know what solid mid-fi sounds like (hi-fi is a level higher IMHO) so I know what a good turntable sounds like. Even on battery power this thing has excellent volume and a rich sound. It’s probably overpriced a bit, but has a lot of nice features.

Thank you for this great tip! Actually, I saw your video on this subject. Think I am going to purchase this needle as I would like to play my old 78s on the Revolution Go.

thankyou .have a safe and happy xmass mate... im figuring finances to get one ,if only they let you adjust the cartridge weight ,i will as im getting ready to make a turntable myself ,

Agreed!

I can hear just on my phone, that the sound is much better than the Eastwood model but then again that one is half the price. But this one sure is nice in sound not a bad looker either

An excellent observation! I think they are indeed very similar.

It works with headphones that are one unit. My two piece earbuds only connected one at a time then disconnected from being confused that there's two earbuds to connect lol

Then it just becomes a regular turntable.

Hi Steven, I just won one on eBay. It was cheap because it has the fault you described. I’ll try to get to the battery to see if I can bring it back to life. If you have time, I’m curious to know how you got in to the unit?

We will try to do that!

But it’s also a Bluetooth receiver and transmitter. But a radio would be nice as well.

Hmmm is it doing it on multiple records? Thanks for the kind comment by the way!

@@Recordology Yes, it's happening on multiple records. That said, Victrola Customer Service has been very responsive. I told them that your video was awesome as well.

@@coffisong On mine the hissing from the speakers begins when the spinning starts. That's a small disappoinment. It is not very noticable when the music plays. For the rest, this portable is stunning. The best I've heard.

Mine does the same, it's not obnoxious though so I don't mind it or notice it. Don't notice it while there's music playing

Lol that’s ok it beats the snow Denver had.

Negative

I still have one of those… And still recommend it! Search my channel we have done several videos on two different versions. Also the C200 is fantastic as well.

@@Recordology And do you think it is very similar to the lp120

Yes! Same company for sure.

The sound is surprisingly good 👍 the mechanism is actually very good but yes plasticky. This is the portable I personally use above all others.

@@Recordology Thank you very much for your reply. So, I shouldn't be concerned about the mechanism then? Indeed, I couldn't hear any wow and flutter in your review video, but as it has a plastic platter: won't it develop wow and flutter over time as the motor and platter bearing age? And well ok, the sound quality maybe surprisingly well, but is it comparable to the sound of an AT-LP60 when connected to a bluetooth receiver in a good stereo system? Sorry about hanging on to this question, but that is what I really want to do.

@@Recordology Hi Record-ology (and all others who may read this), right ... ok, eversince I saw your video on the Revolution Go, I kept on thinking about it and comparing it to some alternatives I may consider. They all are small, portable, battery powerd, able to send bluetooth, having great sound ... But, none of them have a hydraulic arm lift and all of a sudden, I was like: "So, it'll be the Revolution Go then as it does have an arm lift" (a feature I like very much because of my shaky hands). So I ordered it and today, right when I came home from work, there was this Amazon guy right when I wanted to open my front door who gave me the package (coincidence???). So, I first had dinner and after that, I unpacked it and ... oh nooooo, it was dead, would not turn on at all. Until I plugged it in, seems like the battery was completely flat. While charging, I played some records through the internal speakers which sounded ok, but not mind-blowing. The "vinyl stream" mode did not seem to work (player kept on turning itself off whenever I switched to "vinyl stream"), but once the battery was charged a bit, it worked and I was able to connect to my stereo system's bluetooth receiver. Playing records through my stereo system sounds AMAZING!!!!!!!! I could clearly hear the typical vinyl vipe even through the bluetooth connection (not only the crackles and pops, also those typical vinyl high-ends). Conclusion after this first impression: this is a great little player when connected to my stereo system and that was exactly what I wanted!!! I surely hope it will last me a long time!!!!!! Anyway, thank you for your great video, it helped a great deal and I like your enthousiasm and still honest way of reviewing things. Keep up that good work!!! Kind regards Geert

Hope you get feeling better soon!

@@Recordology I am better I am experiencing withdrawal from a medication I had to quit due to terrible side effects. Thanks for your concern! On an on topic note I listened to Céline Dion’s 1992 self titled album, which is a Dutch pressing for the UK. It did sound good!

There's blue, orange, yellow and Grey options

Good eye! Its the storage compartment for the power supply.

@@Recordology Great, Thank you.

It looks like it is not yet available on amazon.co.uk, I checked the Victrola website but I am not sure if you can ship internationally. Sorry… Keep looking though because it is worth it!

Interesting!

@@Recordology The player doesn't control the sub volume though, you have to set that on the sub.

It was a vendor gift I received years and years ago.

I purchased one of these and from what I can see they actually built a square solid counter weight into the back end of the tonearm. The tonearm mounting is a bit loose and I am sure there is no anti-skate, but I have to say it tracks pretty good. Not a lot of inner groove distortion on it.

I put my battery into the bottom compartment. Easy enough to access, there are 4 more screws under the rubber feet, open it up slowly, and clam shell it as there is wires attached. I found the battery unscrewed it and disconnected it. Drilled a hole into the compartment on the bottom where the charger goes, clipped the wires with connector off the battery allowing enough to reconnect the battery . put the connector back in the socket, threaded the wires in the drilled hole, screwed the unit together and reattached the battery to the wires with tape or connectors and stick a bit of foam in the compartment to stop the battery wobbling around.

Ahh good point

Thank you

I agree.

Hey Recordology, I think Victrola has a winner because of the better built in speaker's. I would add that a semi automatic return would have been a nice feature, I hope Victrola adds this feature for future model's. Thanks for posting another great video .

What ended up happening? Heard this a lot, maybe just wait for it fully charge?

Word up! I said exactly the same thang! Peace.

I bought one just to have a little portable around. I actually own a couple very nice Thorens turntables. This tonearm doesn't appear to use a spring, but there is actually a solid weight built into the back of it. I also believe the cartridge is a 3600LA if that makes any difference. I'm sure it tracks a bit heavy because of the compromises like no anti-skate and cheap tonearm bearings. With that said, it actually tracks pretty good and has very little inner groove distortion for what it is. I wouldn't play my collectible records on it, but for a portable to spin the everyday record it's actually a pretty decent record player.

I don't find Enoch Light's music boring at all and in any case, it's all a matter of personal taste. :)

I thought the music was good actually! Thanks for your review and I appreciate enthusiastic review of this product!

OMG I just won one one of these in an online auction (~$130 with shipping & tax), this looks like it's going to be a LOT of fun to play around with. For the 2.0 version I would like to see a slightly more substantial lid & a replaceable rechargeable battery, but the rest of it looks FANTASTIC in this review. It has a lot of things going for it that portable owners have been asking for (or didn't even know they wanted). Will let you know when it gets here & check back in with my comments.
