It has a unique design, great price and useful features. This record player is a work of art.

The first thing you notice is the gorgeous wood appearance and the retro styling. Combine this with modern technology and you’ve got a player that ticks all the boxes.

It plays records at 3 different speeds. It features a diamond-tipped Audio-Technica cartridge and an adjustable counterweight.

The 1byone player comes with built-in stereo speakers that produce a crisp, clear sound with no bass distortion. You can also plug in external speakers via RCA plugs for an even greater listening experience. It has an internal preamplifier.

1byone High Fidelity Record Player Review

The 1byone turntable is affordable and looks stunning. It has fewer features than some of its competitors, but includes all the most useful ones.

It plays vinyl discs at 2 different speeds. It does not play 78s. It comes equipped with full-range speakers that provide high-quality sounds and RCA line-out plugs for even better sound quality using external speakers.

It has an internal preamp, so you can connect to powered speakers without needing to go through an external preamp or a unit that contains a preamplifier, like a receiver. It makes my list of the best overall turntables and tops the list of best turntables with built-in speakers.

 

1byone Record Player Features

  • Beautiful wooden appearance — a beautiful addition to any home
  • Plays at speeds of 33 1/3 and 45 RPM — most common speeds
  • Built-in full-range stereo speakers — great sound from such a small unit
  • Diamond-tipped Audio Technica stylus — precision tracking for clear, high quality audio
  • RCA line-out — connect to external speakers for the best possible listening experience
  • Bluetooth and aux in — play music from other devices
  • Built-in preamp — no need to buy an external preamp
  • Built-in dust cover — protect your player and records
  • 13 pounds — solid weight reduces vibrations
  • 2-year warranty — longer than most budget turntables

Comparison

The closest competitors to the 1byone player are the ION Audio Max LP turntable and the Audio Technica AT-LP60.

Both of these products are also compact and lightweight and are slightly cheaper, at the cost of some features. They can be good alternatives, depending on which features are most important to you.

The ION turntable has most of the same features and a similar classic wood look. It also comes bundled with software that makes it easier to convert vinyl to digital. It does, however, deliver a lesser sound quality from its built-in speakers.

The Audio Technica AT-LP60 has virtually none of the features of the other two and only plays two speeds (33 1/3 and 45 RPM). It has no internal speakers, but it does have a built-in switchable phono preamp, so you can connect it to your stereo system, powered external speakers or computer via included RCA cables.

Where the AT-LP60 shines is quality. This is a professional level turntable and is far beyond the other two in terms of quality. There are more expensive versions available with additional features. There is also the AT-LP120, which is a huge step up in quality, but also price.

 

1byone Stereo Turntable Review: Final Verdict

For most people, the 1byone Belt Drive Stereo Turntable is the best option, because it has all the most useful features and delivers a good sound quality from the built-in speakers.

If quality is your number one priority and you don’t need the other features, you definitely want to go with the Audio Technica AT-LP60. And if you do need USB (or Bluetooth) connectivity, both are available. You will pay a lot more, though.

I wouldn’t generally recommend the ION Audio Max, unless you really need the converter software that comes with it and you don’t mind a lesser sound quality from the internal speakers. Most people would be happiest with the 1byone and that is why it receives a Top Record Players rating of 5 out of 5.

    I have owned the 1by1 belt drive stereo turntable for a good while now but have been unable to find suitable rca plugs and speakers to connect it to. Please can someone advise me on what to buy?

    I have owned the 1 by One for about a year. Eventough the ATN3600L cartridge and stylus provides great sound, i have upgraded the styl us to the compatible ATN91 stylus which provides a more bass rich sound. I have my turntable connected to Audioengime HD4 power speakers. I am also using a Douk Audio T4 PRO Vacuum Tube MM phono preamp and love the quality of sound I am getting with this component addition.
