Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable
Out of the box, the Victrola Premiere T1 Turntable System is an attractive product. Sleek, compact, looks nice sitting on a cabinet in my living room. My initial experience, though, was a bit disappointing. When you open the box, the first thing you see is a large cardboard sheet with the Quick Start Guide. It states one of the first things you need to do is to set the tone arm. I’ve owned many record players in the past and have never had a unit that required this. The other thing you need to do as part of the installation process is to install the turntable. You have this little ribbon taped to the platter that is wrapped around the belt underneath. You are to hold this small ribbon (after removing the tape) while placing the platter on the spindle, pulling the ribbon slightly as to place the belt on the motor pin. I lost count how many times this took me to do. Anytime I pulled the ribbon at all, the belt would slip off of the platter altogether. I had to figure out a way to hold the belt, the ribbon, and the platter at the same time to get the belt installed. I then went to adjust the tone arm. I read the Start Guide, then I downloaded the manual from their web site to review. I could not get the knob to turn at first, then got it to turn somewhat. I thought I was doing something wrong, so I went online to review videos (sadly, Victrola did not offer a video on how to do this on their channel) to see how to do this. After viewing, I tried again. This time, I couldn’t get it to budge. After applying more “elbow grease” …I broke the housing for the arm. Victrola was kind enough to replace the unit for me as they considered the unit defective (great service!). When I opened the new unit, there was a sticker on the packing foam wrapped around the arm saying that the counterweight and anti-skate was already set (picture attached). I was happy that it was so I didn’t have to go through that again, but I wondered why those instructions are included if it was already set up…? Maybe they just set up the second unit? I’m not sure. The first unit I received did not have this sticker. I also found a finish issue on the second unit (pictured). Minor grievance, yes, but for the price point, I was surprised to see it. The lift lever does not work, either. I had to raise the lifter and push it back down by hand, and it doesn’t quite meet the arm. After all of that, I finally got to test the unit. I pulled a couple of 33s to use for testing, both from the 1970s. Operation was as expected. I heard some distortion, but it was much clearer than anything I’ve heard on a turntable before. I have included a video clip so people can hear the sound (if you are wearing headphones, you may want to turn your volume down before playing). I really like the Victrola, but I will take away one star before of all of the issues I had to deal with in the beginning.

Great value, great sound!
The selling point for this turntable was that it came with speakers. Other turntables that I found on the Best Buy website did not. The speakers offer a great sound. I can now enjoy all of my old LPs.
