JENSEN JTA-475B 3-Speed Stereo Turntable with CD System, Cassette, and AM/FM Stereo Radio

This little stereo system is perfect for a smaller area. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a whole house or large room stereo. As mentioned in some of the reviews, it is not a super loud system. The digital volume control goes up to 30. But for my purposes, for use in a sewing room, it is perfect. It is nice looking and functions properly. The sound is crisp and clear. For the money, I am very happy with it.

I'm so thrilled! I haven't been able to play my records in 15 years (since 11th grade), and I bought this stereo for the express purpose of being able to play them again, and voila! They play GREAT! Granted, I've only listened to one, but so far, it is playing so beautifully that I had to review it now, esp because it is an old record (and I mean OLD, like from the 60s), and the previous reviewers said that it didn't play old records well. Well I feel like I am in the room with Billie Holiday right now, so yes, it plays them amazingly well, no penny required. The cds don't sound so great, which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but I bought this to play records mainly, so I'm a happy camper. It really is amazing how beautiful this sounds, I feel like slow dancing right now the ambiance is so lovely....I'm transported back in time to a smokey venue with Billie on stage in a spotlight songbirding into an old fashioned microphone....and I'm dancing into the wee hours with my love <3

I am a first time owner of a record player. I'm from the CD/MP3 generation, with parents in the vinyl generation. I became interested in vinyl records seeing that some of my favorite artists still recorded on vinyl. I thought buying this item and records in the future would make for some valuable collectables. I want to break my ratings down in to record/CD/player & AM/FM, speakers, and delivery & setup.Record player, CD player, Cassette player, & AM/FM players all work great. Very impressed with the design and the ease of usage on this item also. just plug it in, throw on the record and crank the volume. Rugged design, doesn't seem like it will break any time soon. 10/10The speakers are great, but they don't blow me away. I can sense the bass, they are clear and plenty loud enough. 9/10This item was delivered in approximately 7 days, as I chose the free shipping. Happy with the speed of the delivery, package came and nothing was broken. Like I said before, I took it out, plugged it in, and cranked it up. 10/10I love this thing so far. It gives me a reason to spend money A.K.A. support my favorite bands. No static, this thing sounds great. Also for the price, you can NOT beat this thing on the market. I will recommend this to any body.

If you're into Heavy Metal/Hard Rock, heed this review:I bought this turntable after my Optimus Lab-1100 would not stop humming. Believe me I tried it all to get rid of that hum and nothing worked. Anyways, I turned my attention to the JTA-475 because of the price and multi-functionality. Of course before buying it I checked every major retailer (online/full-line stores) and no one really had any "huge" problems with it. So I bought it and it arrived at my home in about three business days.Right out of the box, everything came nicely packaged and seemingly new. It even had a quaint smell to it. Setting up was insanely easy and took me about five minutes. Plugged it in, put a record in, hit play, and everything was fine.Well.. everything was fine until I started playing different records. I have a lot of heavy metal and hard rock records and the only way I could describe their sound quality on this turntable was absolute garbage. On any given song, it would produce these infrequent high-frequency sounds that would just murder my ears. Any squealing guitar solo, any high-register scream, and even cymbals/rides would just sound the worst to the ear. A good description would be: screeching. After finding that flaw I immediately packed it back up and sent it back.My Jethro Tull and AC/DC records seemed fine, but when I put on the heavier stuff like Metallica, Cauldron, or Repugnant the in-capabilities of this device became obvious.Also, the tape-deck didn't work, CD player seemed fine, and I didn't get a chance to try out the tuner. The speakers were ok by me and the whole device fit nicely on a small desk in my room.Overall, I would not recommend this to anyone. Great price, bad product. I guess I'm just going to save up a couple hundred and buy a turntable that actually does what it's supposed to do. "You get what you pay for."

I have tried the CD and the AM and FM radios and it works fine. I bought it mainly for the turntable but haven’t used it yet. I don’t expect the cassette feature to be used for quite some time. I’m happy with the unit for now.

I bought this item because I was looking for a cheap, decent sized record player/stereo.Pros- Good looking item. Love the blue lights. Record player works like a charm. It has a remote!Cons- Speakers are beyond pathetic. The only sound options are bass booster on or off, which is relatively pointless because it makes almost no difference. Radio works great but it is a dial, not digital. For a new system it is a little shocking, but not a deal breaker. Have yet to try the cassette deck, but the CD drive is obnoxious. Even with the music as loud as it will go, it still doesn't drown out the noise the CD player makes when in use. The only thing the remote is good for is for the volume only. If you want to turn the system off via the remote, you can't because the power is a push button.Even though the con list is much longer than pro list, I wouldn't call this a total bust. If you're looking for just a basic turntable then this will do. If you are looking at this for all the extras, then I would just caution you to keep looking for a little, and don't be afraid to spend a bit more. The sound quality alone would be worth it.
