I made this video so folks can see how to set this baby up. The horn is really quite cool looking. The flexibility to play different media formats is outstanding. You do need an aux cord to play an ipod but it can be easily done with a $5 radioshack purchase. The unit takes about 30 minutes to set up. The bits fit ok but you have to tighten things up carefully. Sound is in the decent to good range. I am happy with it for my living room which is all it really needs to do. It is wonderful to play all my lp-s again!

I was debating for quite a while on whether to get this. There were so many others available at cheaper prices. I finally decided to go for it and am glad I did! The sound quality is great other than the cassettes, but they never sounded great anyway. I have tested all of the functions except for the USB port and recording, and everything works wonderfully. It is rather large and heavy, but it fits right into my Victorian decor dining room. So glad I went with this product, it exceeds my expectations!

I've been looking for a unit like this for a while now, and this turned out to be a fantastic piece. However, the description of the product here on Amazon was very misleading. It claimed that there is a way to play music directly from an iPod or mp3 player from the device. This is false. There IS a USB port where you can play mp3 files that are on a USB drive, but there is no way to play music from the ipod. I have yet to try out the record part of the device. The CD player seems to work well, and the sound quality is very good. I was pleased that the horn itself acts as a speaker and is not purely decorative. The horn is also made of a lightweight metal which is nice because it gives it the expensive feel but makes the device not too heavy. As a whole, it is simply gorgeous and more than I expected in terms of appearance and quality (it's pretty big so make sure you have a space for it!). It will definitely get a lot of use!

This is such a beautiful reproduction! The sound is amazing and it is easy to use. Putting it together was fairly simple, however the pieces did not all fit together %100 perfectly, but I did get it together, it just seems like the horn is a little wobbly in a few areas, but it is not a big deal at all and does not effect the sound or look of the phonograph...it is just a small detail that I noticed. Overall I think this is an excellent product and everyone should buy one!

There are really only two replica gramophone players with CD capability available on the market right now, this and the Pyle PVNP4CD (with brass horn). I opted for this one and am happy I did.

This is basically a comparison between the two.

While the [brass] PVNP4CD allegedly has a real wood cabinetthis is MDF with veneer but you couldn't tell by seeing it in personthe biggest difference is this model has the front loading USB player which is just really cool.

Basically you can take any USB flash drive, copy MP3s or even books on tape on to the flash cartridge off your computer, plug it in to this and play them just like a CD. The forward and back buttons which work for the CD also work for the USB player, and it even comes with handy +10 and -10 track buttons. Pyle claims this only works up to 2GB flash size, but I've been using a 16GB flash and it works just fine.

The horn has a dull antique finish which I personally like better, it is metal (by contrast Pyle says the PVNP4CD is real brass and I believe is larger....the PVNP4CD cabinet also is bigger so it has more footprint overall).

The horn is solidly built and does not wobble, actually its just a beautiful piece. Note that this radio comes in two versionsone with 'Aux In' capability, and one with 'Aux Out'. I got the Aux In without even knowing, which means you can use the stereo plugs in the back to hook up an Ipod or somesuch and use the speakers. The Aux Out version has the exact same plugs, but the little black box on the back says "LINE OUT" in the adsthis lets you hook up external speakers instead for additional sound. I would rather have gotten the Aux Out version but too late now, not a big deal but check the pictures carefully to see which one you are buying.

As far as complaints, nothing major. The radio itself is rather lacking, mostly because the selection dial isn't belted (as in, knob turns faster than indicator moves like most analog radios). No idea why they designed it like that, but it makes getting some stations to come in clear almost an art. The phonograph works and sounds good, the arm itself is rather cool vintage looking but made of cheap plastic, would have been much better metal for sure. (PVN4CD has a modern but less showy arm which is easier to work with, if you plan to play alot of vinyl records, you probably better opt for that model). The front panel is plastic but looks very much like metal I can't see the difference. I swapped the rubber feet out with some carved wooden legs just on a whim to raise it up off the table, thought it was a big improvement.

All in all happy with purchase, the sound is surprisingly good and the radio even has a little sealed bass box inside which boosts the bass quality a bit. The horn also has its own speaker and really works. It is very showy and certainly multi-functional. Recommend!

** updateon reading the reviews for the PVNP4CD, I am hearing that despite their ad their other model also has a veneer covered MDF cabinet not solid wood. Not a big deal to me, most sound boxes are made from MDF and even chain store furniture, but there it is.
