Summary: Does what I need it to do.
Comment: I have a regular gig which normally involves lugging all my equipment there and back again every week. With the portable turntable I can easily listen to records at home and store my equipment at the site (a local cafe). I don't have any issues with the monitoring speaker and appreciate the dual headphone jacks. It's extremely light and portable and the pitch controll functions well. I still would not reccomend it as a primary turntable. You really need to invest in direct drive (i.e. Technics 1200's). It does take the guesswork out of thrift stores, flea markets, and record stores.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very low volume
Comment: This is a consistent complaint among people who have purchased this unit: THE OVERALL VOLUME OUTPUT IS TOO LOW. (The same complaint applies to the Vestak unit which competes with this item.) I would not recommend this unit, which I returned. The old battery-operated record players from the early 70's are superior.

Summary: cool little thing
Comment: small in size but works well. Not for scracthing whatsoever!!! don't even try it! Quality Portable turntables are hard to find, and while i wouldn't call this one durable or well-built, it still performs very well. don't crank the volume too often it will blow the speAker

Summary: Okay if you're not too demanding
Comment: I bought the Numark PT01 for the purpose of transfering vinyl albums and 78's to my PC for digital remastering and taking the scratches and noise out and then transfering them to CD's. For the most part, I can't complain. The turntable was easy to set up and use. At this point, I must give information about replacement styluses. Regretfully, Amazon does not sell these, so you'll have to get them from other sources. Don't worry, I'll help you find them. Just Google the numbers you see below and you'll quickly find sites which can sell you these styluses at very reasonable prices.
793D7
793S3
These are special Fansteel numbers which are used to designate the exact styluses needed.
The 793D7 is the stylus for 33/45 RPM vinyl disks and uses a diamond tip. The 793S3 is the stylus for wide groove 78 RPM disks and uses a sapphire tip.
Now, a word about using this turntable for remastering sound. After you've recorded the record audio to your hard drive, you'll need to adjust the equalizer of your third party recording client so that the 200HZ level is brought down by -12Db. This is because this turntable has an anoying peak at that frequency and especially in the right channel. Also, it's best to turn the volume all the way up on the lineout jakcs (that's right, the volume also effects the auxiliary output jacks which is not a good thing) because you'll want to minimize the amp noise going in to your sound card. Also, you will need to use a lower setting on the track bar for the line input on your card than you may be used to. This is because both headphone jacks and the lineout jacks are fed by the same amplifier and thus the volume; as indicated before, works them all. Barring those factors though, It's a nice little turntable which, provided you're not too demanding of your equipment, will serve well. OF course, it would have been nicer if the cartridge was user replaceable thus allowing the freedom to choose what ever combination of stylus and cartridge you wanted; and, the 200Hz peak in the right channel, which I suspect is the result of the tonearm receiving vibrations from the built in cartridge, would need to be eliminated for me to give it a 5; but, as I said, nice buy if you are not too demanding and are on a tight budget.

Summary: Numark PT01
Comment: I bought the Numark PT01 as an informed decision, fully knowing that it is not the best portable turntable on the market. I must say though, it did exceed my expectations. I wanted to use it solely for its portable purpose, to seek out decent used vinyl in record stores before purchasing. It really is compact. The batteries last awhile, and the headphone jack is perfect for in store listening without pissing any classical aficianados off. The only drawback is that the built-in speaker isn't that loud, and I'm afraid I'll pop it if I turn it up too loud. Yep, consider yourself informed.

The Numark PT01 portable turntable is an ideal unit for DJs on the go. Measuring a mere 12 by 12 inches, the turntable comes with a full array of features yet stores conveniently inside the average record crate for simple and efficient transport. The size, however, is just window dressing compared to the unit's DJ functions. The PT01's belt-driven motor operates at speeds of 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm, giving users access to everything from modern LPs to classic singles to old-school jazz and blues discs. DJs will also appreciate the +/- 10 percent pitch control, along with the tone and volume controls. And monitoring is simple thanks to the built-in phono preamp, accompanying speaker, and dual 1/4- and 1/8-inch headphone jacks. Other features include a durable auto-start and -stop tonearm, a high-quality felt slipmat for scratching, an integrated carrying handle, and a removable dustcover with a locking slide latch. Connectivity is enhanced by the RCA line-level outputs for hooking up to a DJ mixer, tape recorder, CD burner, PA system, or home stereo. The level of the stereo output signal is controlled by the turntable's audio level control. Perhaps the most convenient feature for mobile DJs, however, is the power source, which offers the choice between a traditional AC power adapter or six D-size batteries (not included). Thanks to the battery-powered option, DJs can take their act anywhere and not be beholden to nearby outlets. The PT01 turntable comes with a built-in cartridge with a removable stylus, along with a 45 rpm adapter. And as with all Numark turntables, it carries a two-year warranty. What's in the Box
