Pro-ject Juke Box E “All-in-one Plug & Play Phono-System (Red)

I was looking for a very minimalist solution to add a turntable in my living room. Enter the Pro-Ject Jukebox E. I added a pair of ELAC UniFi UB5 bookshelf speakers and I am done! For this location, I didn’t want a separate amplifier with a turntable on top of it and just have more stuff in a space that I was really trying to just keep to a turntable and of course the speakers. The system comes highly reviewed and after purchasing it nearly 5 years ago and listening to my growing record collection over the years, I am a very happy customer.It sounds fantastic and looks great in the space. I paired it with speakers rated at four ohms and each receives 50 W per channel. Not the most powerful amplifier, but plenty of depth and volume for listening to music in your living room. Since I have a dedicated theater room downstairs, there was no need for huge amplification and large speakers.The Bluetooth feature also functions very well, as I’m able to pair my phone and listen to many genres without having to flip a record over when I am cooking, or entertaining, and otherwise not attending to it. We chose the red color as it matches our end tables in the room. It’s a nice shade of red, with a glossy finish that really compliments the space.Set up was fairly easy and the included elastic band allows for changing from 33 to 45 RPM records. You can loosen or tighten the screws for the dust cover as needed. There are two power switches on the bottom, one for turning the unit on. The other for turning on the turntable motor.Note: to avoid a potential popping sound when powering down the unit, make sure to shut it off using the remote control first, then switching the power switch off afterward.My wife and I are very happy with the Pro-Ject Jukebox E and it comes highly recommended.

Stunning to look at but could not figure for 2 days how to make this work via Bluetooth. Seller refunded my money fairly fast, but really miffed that the product has a garbage manual and no online help. Bummer, player was red and matched perfectly my red Kef LS50 II speakers and now I have to start looking for a player again.
