1 by ONE Bluetooth Turntable HiFi System with 36 Watt Bookshelf Speakers, Patend Designed Vinyl Record Player with Magnetic Cartridge, Bluetooth Playback and Auto Off

The media could not be loaded. Greetings! I hope my review of this item will be helpful to all, both sellers and potential buyers! The quick overall: This is definitely worth what you pay for!To start, the packaging it arrived in was very clean and neat. Not too much difficulty unpacking and organizing along my basement area where I planned to put it. The parts box was well-organized and even listed exactly what was inside. I was impressed with the quality packaging.Assembly was relatively easy to follow with the provided instruction booklet. I am a newbie when it comes to having to assemble a tonearm, so for me it got a little tricky and took the most time in the whole process (maybe about 45 minutes). The instructions provided a very nice layout of exactly how to do it and values to aim for when setting the counterweight. I would recommend reading it over carefully a few times and possibly research a few videos online if you need a visual aid. The counterweight itself was easy enough to put on and adjust to level it, however, when it came to assembling the anti-skate weight, this is where I ran into a small dilemma. The loop of the wire on the anti-skate weight (it feels like a very small, fine piece of fishing line) was not tied off so I had to get a flash-light, magnifying glass, and needle nose pliers to knot it off at the right notch. Once I got that done, everything else was relatively easy. One thing that had me a little baffled is that this product came with what looks like a little “key” thing that was not noted anywhere in the instructions (I included a picture). I fumbled around with it and thought that it was supposed to be used to adjust the anti-skate weight somehow, but I really have no idea. So, I stored it as an extra piece. Once fully assembled, though, the turntable itself looks very simplistic and neat, looks and feels solid, and is just really nice! It fits well in basically any setting, in my opinion. Right now, it looks beautiful on top of my media stand which houses my receiver.Now for the performance and sound. This definitely sounds quite satisfactory and much better than the last turntable I owned! I had taken the time to try most, if not all, possible output settings. My main planned setting is connecting it to my A/V receiver in 7.1 surround. With this I had 3 options from the turntable itself: Phono output, Line output, or USB. Using the Phono output, it has a lower signal and weaker volume but has a very nice full range and more balanced sound between bass and treble as it was utilizing the preamp on my receiver. From there I was able to use specific settings on my receiver to achieve whatever preset or equalization I wanted. The only drawback is that there is a small hum in my center speaker in this setting. Could be that I am just using a 14-gauge speaker wire as a ground, but it’s only noticeable if I literally have my ear right next to the speaker. Using the Line-in output, I got a clean signal with a slightly higher volume and utilizing the preamp built into the turntable. I’d have to say that the turntable preamp does a pretty nice job, but I noticed that it was very treble heavy compared to the phono level. It was still a satisfactory sound, but I preferred the fullness and balance of the phono output. The USB output utilizes my computer soundcard as essentially a Mic-in input. My computer is then output to my receiver. I’d say the sound quality is the equivalent of the Line-in except it had a slightly noticeable echo. This might be because the cartridge is picking up surrounding sounds/elements from anything near it and acting like a microphone. Overall, all outputs are very close in quality and I think it all depends on the receiver. Note that these 3 options do not utilize the volume knob on the top of the turntable whatsoever. That is solely for the final option, to hook the turntable up to the provided speakers. I’ll admit I had no real intention of ever using the speakers. However, I decided to give it a go. When I hooked these up, I was pretty amazed at the overall quality and volume of the output. It has a pretty respectable bass response as well, I think even slightly better than my receiver? It actually gets pretty loud, too, when I cranked up the dial. Needless to say, I was impressed with the sound quality. The sound is clear, it can fill up a sizeable room, and it gives me an added option of making this turntable somewhat portable within places in my house (or maybe even bring to a small party). The only thing that I ponder is that it was advertised as 36W power rating, but the speakers themselves say 18W power rating. Maybe I’m a noob, but is it just the combined power rating?Overall, I’d say this competes well with other turntables in this price range for everything it has to offer. You definitely get a high-quality sound from the 1byone that satisfies my listening pleasure! I will also say, taking some time to balance the tonearm really makes a difference. I have had virtually 0 skips on every record I’ve played on it (at the time of this writing, around 2 months of regular use and roughly close to 100 combinations of 33s and 45s), except for a few older records I own that were just scratched heavily or damaged in certain spots! Of note, the stylus cartridge they use is the Audio-Technica AT3600L, which I feel is a good-quality needle. It may help to research the specs for this stylus and also invest in a stylus scale (which are relatively inexpensive) if you want to balance the tonearm more specifically and put the least amount of wear on the stylus and your records. If you are looking to upgrade to a pleasurable listening experience or get into what may be considered “entry-level” audiophile without breaking the bank, then this is for you! I can’t speak for a pure audiophile, but I’d have to say I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone in similar settings and circumstances. Hope this review helps and all of you potential buyers find this review useful. I highly recommend this product and this company! Happy buying!

This turntable hi-fi stereo (36 watts) with bookshelf speakers does a simply fabulous job at playing vinyl, 33s or 45s. Plus it has Bluetooth connectivity so that you can play the mp3 music on your phone or tablet or livestream. I live in a senior community and twice a month present an interactive music appreciation program taking records from my collection. The 1 By One is easy to move on a cart and set-up, use and then take down. Putting the machine together is easy and the instructions are clear to follow. The tonearm comes already assembled with an excellent AudioTechnica cartridge that is matched with the speakers: the sound is extraordinary for their size. All you need to do is install the rubber band on the motor spindle and interior drive wheel (a new band can be ordered from the manufacturer when the original has stretched out); assemble the counterweight; balance the tonearm; dial in the tracking weight and hang the anti-skating counter-weight. I have only a few minor caveats. The hifi pre-amp and amp section have a computer that listens to the music. When the sound grows too soft (like with classical music) the unit has a tendency to shut off. This is remedied by playing the music louder. This idiosyncrasy should not be a problem for rock, hip-hop or jazz listeners. The speaker cables are of fine wire, color-coded with tinned ends. Those ends are liable to beak off, so it is a good idea to have a set of wire cutters handy for removing the outer insolation. Heavier speaker cable (16 or 18 gauge) can be substituted, but this is only necessary if you plan to relocate and reassemble the system (as I do every other Wednesday.) Besides Bluetooth the unit comes with a port for hooking up to a computer and has two RCA jack line level outputs for using the turntable separately with a large component system. The 1 By One fully satisfies all my needs. The more recent iteration of this set comes with auto-tone arm return, which would make life perfect. I regret nothing about my purchase of this marvelous machine and unequivocally recommend it to anyone looking for a cost-effective way to play their vinyl.
