Critic Reviews

Numark PT-01 review: Numark PT-01 - CNET

cnet.com

The Numark PT-01 is a portable marvel for vinyl lovers, boasting lightweight design, battery operation, and a built-in speaker. It's versatile with 33, 45, and 78 RPM play, plus pitch control and headphone jacks. While the tonearm is delicate and could use integrated power, it's a fantastic value for under $100. Despite a modest built-in speaker, it shines when connected to external systems. Ideal for on-the-go listening, its portability is unmatched, though the AC adapter lacks a storage compartment. Overall, a solid choice for those who want affordability without sacrificing versatility.

Numark Portable Turntable

I can take it on the go by using batteries, or simply plug it into my soundcard. I dont need a dj mixer like regular turntables. Ive had it for years and can't live without it. I have many, many records, because i love vinyl. well more like an obsession.
