As is only to be expected in a product at this sort of money, there’s nothing remarkable about the way the components are finished - corners are pointy, tactility is negligible. And everyone knows someone who’s used a Crosley product as a gateway drug to a lifetime of audio appreciation… so where does the C62 fit into all of this? To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

With the ability to improve your magnet and stylus to one that suits you as your collection grows, the fidelity can go as high as you want it. If you are using Line Out on your Crosley, you need to use the Line In or Aux In on your receiver or self-powered speakers.Then it’s just a question of fiddling with the anti-skate control, connecting the supplied (and brief) lengths of bog-standard speaker cable to the turntable at one end and the speakers at the other, and plugging into the mains. Created with an eye for interior design the (ready to go, straight out of the box) C62 record player and speakers have a veneer finish and a matt black aluminium tonearm with counter weight. Switch to the Bluetooth wireless input, and at least that rather queasy sensation of rotational instability disappears.

The C62 comes equipped with an aluminium tonearm, a belt-drive motor for improved sound quality and vibration-reducing feet to ensure clarity. There are a few brands that will sell you a system as extensive as this for an outlay similarly modest, but Crosley is by far the highest-profile of the lot.Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year.

If you live on an island or a remote area, we have to charge you the additional island/ remote area surtax. The Crosley C62 was designed to be a ready-to-go-sounds-damn-good-straight-out-of-the-box turntable system that doesn’t break the bank. Each features a necessarily compact soft-dome tweeter above an equally tidy mid/bass driver at the front, and a rudimentary bass-reflex port above a pair of spring-clip speaker cable binding posts at the rear.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
