Sound quality was impacted the most, but to be honest, no suitcase style record player has great sound quality. It just isn’t possible. […]
D&L Vintage Wooden Record Player Review
The D&L Vintage Wooden Record Player is incredibly popular, despite being slightly pricier than some of the other players I’ve reviewed.
