As a teenager I owned a GE Wildcat portable record player and while that one was a changer and this one is one at a time I can tell you that this sweetheart of a turntable brings back the memories!
Don't let someone tell you that Crosley makes nothing but junk because my experience over the last 9 months has been nothing less than great. I also have a fully automaticTechnics direct drive turntable and it too is a blast. Like the Technics, this Crosley will return the arm to its resting point at the end of the album but doesn't shut off and that is better than so many other turntables (high end included) that just keep the tonearm spinning in the center of your record. Again, like the Technics the Keepsake Deluxe has an easily replaceable cartridge. I play both my turntables through my 40+ Sony receiver (it has two (!) phono inputs!) and both sound great!
I have been so impressed with my Keepsake Deluxe that I am considering another for one of my brothers. I sent him a photo of mine and he thought it was sweeeeeet! Is the Crosley Keepsake Deluxe as good as more expensive models? It makes me smile and that's as good as one can hope for. It has yet to "ruin" any of my records and I doubt it ever will. I can put in a "better" cartridge if I so desire but right now the stock one works just fine. I can (and have) listen via headphones via the supplied jack. I have not used the units ability to digitize records for computer playback but if I want to, it's there.
I have had zero regrets buying this Crosley. There's a kid inside all of us and this turntable brings mine out each time I cue up a record.
