1 BY ONE Bluetooth Turntable System

This stereo is excellent for the price. Good powerful speakers. Great sound. Easy to set up once you get the hang of how to fix the weight to the arm which isn’t that difficult really. It’s lovely to listen to LPs that I haven’t listened to for probably 40 years or more. Would definitely recommend!! 👍👍👍

Love my new sound system. Great value for money. Wires on speakers are a little short, but speaker wire is cheap and easy to replace. Very happy.

honestly great record player, and the speakers are so good!! only downside is that it’s a bit tricky to set up, but once it’s up and running it’s very smooth and sleek to use

***Update*** 20/3/2019 Had the turntable now for a month or so. In the end attached my old Cambridge Audio separate to it and sounds fine. There is only one issue which I think one of the other reviewers touched on. That is the auto switch off feature. Its not a stand by. This happens after a 5 mins when the turntable has not been used. You have to manual switch turntable back on. In the grand scheme of things its not major. I have experienced the 30 sec stand by feature which is plain odd. For these two things I have knocked a star off. Im the end for the price its still good. So looking at a new turntable to replace the old 1 by One. I had no intention to buy another 1 by One, not because it was a poor choice. Just wanted one an upgrade as it was a cheap purchase option at the time. So looking for an upgrade with a magnetic cartridge, at a reasonable value. Checked out Lenco's, Teac, AudioTechnic and others. Values range from £70 to £250. All had mixed reviews, a minefield. Then I found 1 by One now did a turntable with Audio Technic stylus / arm plus you got two speakers chucked in for £159.00. So I took a punt. So whats the outcome: It came well packaged. All aspects of the turntable well protected but this does mean you have to set up the Counter Weight, Anti-Skid function and belt for the drive. The construction of the turntable all felt very nice not a cheap feel. Even the lid has some weight to it and a heavy metal platter. The instructions are good perhaps not idiot proof. The one issue was the anti-skid weight which is very fiddly in the end it took two of use to tighten the knot up. Oh and you have to move the arm from its cup for it to work (Not idiot proof instructions). So all set. Its not automatic drive, you press a play button. It also has a lovely slow descending stylus action onto the vinyl after the lever is released. At the moment I have it aux into a GPO speaker until a new unit arrives to place speakers on (The GPO has bass / treble controls). When I connect the speakers up the pre-amp built into the turntable will power them. There is no way to control treble or bass EQ etc. Having said all that the GPO is adequate with nice bass and treble but if you push the GPO it distorts. Which I already knew and has nothing to do with the turntable. So the Sound you certainly can tell the difference with Audio Technic Stylus. Even through the GPO its a vast improvement from the previous 1 by One wooden plinth turntable in sound, build and quality. So is it worth the price and any good? Well I got it for £159. Im no Audiophile but I like a good sound. I am also a musician. This a good turntable. Perhaps 1 by One has gone to all the manufacturers of named turntables given them a shopping list. In essence a parts turntable. If Lenco, Teac or Audiophile was stamped on the lid, this would have hi-fi reviews rated from 4 to 5 stars in its price band. Of course they would probably knock it down as it has a bluetooth function which is no no in Audiophile world. Its good, for the price band excellent. Improvement? I suggest 1 by One do go and find a Hi-Fi amp manfacture and design a simple mini amp with bass / treble / balance surrounded by a wood casing. Sell it as a package. For the buyer: remember you have to set it up. You may need an amp to push the sound when the speakers are connected (If possible cannot see why not it has phono output), as your currently relying on the pre-amp built into the turntable. Plus points: it has a choice of aux or speaker output, industry standard magnetic stylus, bluetooth, transfer vinyl, well constructed, looks good. You can change from 33 to 44 without changing belt position.

Nice bit of kit. Set-up with my home cinema system. Sounds great. Love the Bluetooth feature to play your digital music through it to your speakers.

I have purchased some vinyles before even looking at turntables, and it took me a while before I decided to go with the 1 BY ONE turntable, thanks to the great review and as it was coming with speakers. I am so delighted! Exactly what I was expecting, with the possibility to make it evolve to an even better sound system. I am not gonna lie, the mounting in itself was not complicated but I had to ask a friend to set the balance for me :-D. Let's say that if you have around you someone born in the 60s, it should be ok. Since then, I have learn how to re-balance the arm if needed, and I plan on improving my sound system and record collection little by little!

This sounds great out of the box.. the supplied speakes are smooth with a nice bass punch and it looks and sounds higher end than the price tag.. I've played around and even paired it with my Marantz amp and Monitor audio Gold speakers with sliver speaker cables bi-wired. This turns this into a £2k setup and the line out performed great.. Now for my biggest surprise.. I changed the supplied speaker cables to heavy copper HIFI quality cables (difficult to get in the speak out on the deck, these could have been a bit larger) and connected the Monitor audio gold's directly to the turntables built-in amp.. WOW thought I was going to have trouble driving the speakers, but no it drives them well and the sound is amazing. Intact I have sacrifice a bit of top end volume and a very small amount of clarity for the streamline look without a power amp and I'm happy with the results for casual listening.. You need to know that you can't alter the balance, bass or treble, if you want this then you're going to have to use an amp, however the preset settings and good.. One note when buying.... this only does Bluetooth input not out... so you can't pair with Bluetooth speakers., but then again I don't like Bluetooth speakers as the cable you save is then replaced with a larger power cable.. so not a problem for me.. When connecting your phone via Bluetooth the sound is equally good and once again I was surprised.. So far a very happy customer

This is a wonderful piece of kit. Easy to set up if the instructions are followed. Very good sound and looks good.
