Customer Reviews
So far, so good! I tested it out to make sure everything works since it's a gift for my dad, so I haven't attached the legs yet. I hope he likes it! It's not the highest quality, but it looks really nice and everything functions properly, with decent sound for enjoying your records. I'm just hoping it lasts a long time. The only downside was the packaging; I was worried it might have been damaged since the box was quite torn up. Fingers crossed that doesn't affect its performance!

Great for fun play, just be careful!
I think it's a fun little player, not for anyone wanting something super professional. The sound is good, but I had a bit of trouble with one of the legs not staying sturdy. I managed to fix it, though. Just be gentle with it, and it looks nice!

I think this player is built well and works nicely. I've seen some people complain about Crosley and Victrola, but I have no problem spinning my records on The Liberty. Don't expect booming sound since it's not a high-end model, but at a medium volume, I can hear it throughout my small place. For better sound, I use the Bluetooth feature with a Klipsch speaker. The speeds for both 45s and 33s were right on when I got it, but I don’t have any 78s to try out. If speed is an issue for you, take it to a tech or check online for fixes. I suggest swapping the factory needle for a diamond one soon after getting it, and I found some affordable options. Don’t forget to use the needle protector to keep everything in place. Others have mentioned the extra features, but I think they’re solid as long as you keep your expectations in check. This player does what it’s supposed to do and is a fun way to start getting into vinyl, especially if you’re downsizing like we did. If you're new to records, stick with mono before '69 and stereo after for the best sound. Mono really does sound good on all turntables. As for an update, my vinyl collection has grown since getting The Liberty, and the radio feature picks up some far-off stations pretty well, though I’d prefer a dial instead of just buttons. I mainly use it for records with the internal speaker or Bluetooth, and I almost use that Bluetooth feature daily for speakers or headphones. Once in a while, I might try out the USB feature to digitize some of my collection. Overall, I'm glad I bought The Liberty. Each needle drop brings a smile!

Great Gift!
I got this for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day, and it's perfect! She loves it so much. It's easy for her to use and looks in her living room. She can play records, listen to the radio, or connect via Bluetooth. The sound quality is impressive, and she uses it every single day. She's 80 and has picked it up without any trouble.

Perfect gift. Compact and user-friendly
I got this for my mother-in-law as a Christmas present, and she really loved how she could use the legs or place it on a tabletop. She went with the tabletop option. It’s easy to use and sounds great. I checked out local stores, but the deal I found at Hawkins Woodshop was the best. From the picture, you can see it looks lovely in the dining room. It's for playing while enjoying a meal, especially during the holidays.

Great for vinyl lovers!
This player is well made and sounds good. I know some people don’t like Crosley and Victrola, but I enjoy using The Liberty for my records. Don’t expect booming sound—if you want Hi-Fi, look elsewhere. At mid volume, it fills our small home well. I also use Bluetooth to connect to a Klipsch speaker for better sound. The speed for 45rpm and 33 1/3 records was set right when I got it. I recommend swapping the factory needle for a diamond one soon after buying. I found some cheap replacement needles online. Make sure to use the plastic protector to keep the needle in place. Other features of The Liberty are solid, just have realistic expectations about what it does. It's a fun, affordable way to start enjoying vinyl or to downsize. If you're new, check out mono records from before 1969; they sound great. I’m really happy with my purchase!

Totally worth it!
I just got this and I’m really happy with it. The sound quality is surprisingly good for what I paid, especially when the lid is closed. It connects to Bluetooth easily, and I can see myself using it to listen to more radio now that I have a dedicated speaker. It also looks beautiful. It's a bit light and not built from the toughest materials like those old Victrolas, but it feels sturdy enough that, with a bit of care, it should last me a while.
