Cheap, pitch and tone control, USB support.

Cons:

Sound quality is lackluster.

Check Current Price

This budget 3 Speed from Jenson is fairly good versus other low end options. It also includes pitch and tone control to boot.

  • Software to Convert Records to MP3, RCA Line Out, Pitch and Tone Control

First Impressions

Being a budget offering, we were not expecting much from the Jensen JTA-230. Visually it has a straightforward design and would be at home in nearly any setup.

Listening Experience

Sound quality was about what we expected, though better than, for example the Crosley Collegiate which is nearly twice the price. However, being at this low of price range some units may be better or worse than others.

Conclusion

The Jensen JTA-230 was fairly good for a budget record player. However for a first time listener, we recommend paying a little more for a turntable which will show you what vinyl is really supposed to sound like.
