Well I got it as a birthday present for my Dad he has hundreds of old records that he cant listen to because his record player broke so I got him the Retro Spin Turntable, It was amazing moment for my dad to be able to listen to all his records again enough to bring a few tears to his eyes, The speaker quality is good, can go quite loud if you want it to. You can also plug in a better speaker system if you have one. The only problem – it had was a little crackle every once and a while not very loud but that didn't matter being able to listen to the records with my Dad was awesome!
