 Good for portable, very bad for archival purposes.Jun 16, 2009
First of all, the $279 Price Tag can't be right. I bought this at Guitar Center for $60.
It's pretty decent for a portable turntable if you want to take something small and light out to the record store to sample some music before you buy. It has a decent built in speaker/headphone jack/and RCA outputs. This is nice for when you want to listen to records somewhere other than where your main stereo set up is.
As far as archiving, this is a piece of junk. If you really don't care about preserving all the great quality from your vinyl then you won't mind but this thing can't really handle most music. Also, the program it comes with kind of sucks.
I would recommend spending a decent amount of money on a heavier turn table and upgrading the sound card on your computer if you care about quality. Even if you decide to buy this, don't pay more than $75.

Very reasonable price. Comes with USB cable and necessary software, which I was not expecting. I used the machine to transfer old 78 records to CD. Some of these records dated to the early 1900's. The results were excellent. The machine has input jacks for connecting a tape player to put cassettes onto CD.
Pretty niceMar 17, 2009
This portable record player is great to take record stores, listening parties, etc. I wouldn't use it to try to entertain a party full of people, as the volume isn't very loud. It's great for what it's intended for.

 Nice idea, terribly manufacturedFeb 07, 2009
This item is filled with gratuitous functions that should be removed to improve the model overall. For example, battery operation? Is that really necessary? How many people are actually going to take this to the park and play records. To me it was designed only to transfer vinyl to digital format. That's it. With that said it really doesn't need a built-in speaker either. Finally, my biggest complaint is that the unit tends to fluctuate in pitch. This is terrible for djs that want to go digital as it is essential to maintain a constant pitch in order to mix another song. That problem REALLY needs to be addressed by Numark and until they do so I would advise against purchasing this model.
Great while it lasted.Dec 02, 2008
On nearly the second anniversary of receiving this player, the table stopped spinning. I called Numark and since it was out of warranty there was nothing they could do for me. The player was awesome. It one of my favorite belongings. The sound was pretty good for a built-in speaker. None of my records were damaged by the player, and the speed never seemed to waver. I gave it one star for every year of enjoyment I got. I'll be buying a crosley next, and if that one craps out I would probably buy another Numark. I just wish it hadn't have broken in the first place.
