Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had a Crosley portable turntable that I was pretty happy with that was lost, and I decided to upgrade with this model hoping for a fuller sound. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the guts of the small turntable put into a console body, and due to the pressboard construction (which is terrible for sound amplification) as well as the fact that the only speakers you have are two poor quality 4 inch ones blaring out the sides (probably the same speakers that were in the small turntables) it just sounds way too trebly for what it is. This model completely misses the point of the console design. I recommend getting a small crosley turntable if buying new, because for it's size, it sounds relatively nice and full, unlike this dinky waste of space. Booo!

Crosley CR44CD Turntable Console with CD Player and AM/FM TunerThe handsome CR44CD turntable console--which also includes a CD player and AM/FM radio--pays tribute to the classic consoles that were common fixtures in Depression-era homes. A must for listening to President Franklin Roosevelt's fireside chats, a Yankees or Dodgers game, or the latest serialized mystery, the consoles featured furniture-like cabinets that fit seamlessly in most living rooms--quite unlike the sleek, high-tech look of modern electronics. The CR44CD fits the same mold, with a cabinet made of handcrafted solid hardwoods and veneers. The grand yet cozy appearance is ideal for homes with traditional furnishings or listeners on a nostalgia kick.
Inside the console sits a three-speed (33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm) belt-drive turntable for listening to your favorite LPs, along with a front-loading CD player for enjoying more contemporary formats. The turntable and AM/FM radio are discreetly hidden under the hinged top lid, while the CD player's front slot is subtly integrated within the classic styling so as not to stand out. Feature-wise, the CD player offers a programmable 20-track memory and repeat play (one and all tracks), so listeners can create custom soundtracks for parties or casual listening. The analog AM/FM radio, meanwhile, comes with an external FM antenna to improve reception. Additional features include a diamond-stylus turntable needle and a pair of dynamic full-range stereo speakers.
The CR44CD, which sports a compelling oak finish, measures 21 by 36.25 by 13.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
