Review: Great For The Price - At $200 or less, this is a great turntable. I highly suspect that this turntable is actually made by Fluance, contracted by Crosley. If you compare it to Fluance's line of turntables, they are extremely similar. The main difference is, the Crosley C8 at $200 is better than the Fluance RT80 at $200. The crosley C8 has features you can find on not just the RT80, but RT81 and even RT82. You are basically getting an RT80 with RT81 and RT82 features for the same exact price. It's a great bargain. The sound is great, the counter balance and set up is fairly easy (there are videos on youtube on how to set up the Crosley C8), and the look of the thing rocks. I have this hooked up to my stereo Elac Debut 2.0 6.2s, and the sound is way better than my old vintage turntable. All in all I recommend it. Amazing beginner turntable for the price. Everything you need to start spinning records. Get it. Review: Really like the looks, the sounds, and the price - The C8 arrived in a box much heavier than I was expecting, and I saw why when I opened it, as there is literally couple of inches of wood under the turntable platter. It is built very well, and took only 5 or 10 minutes to set-up. I’ll admit I bought it mostly for looks, but I love the way it sounds as well. I’ve been through a pretty big mix of my music in the last couple of weeks, and it’s easy to set-up and operate. I actually purchased this with the “matching” Crosley powered Bluetooth speakers, and will review those separately. They match the system perfectly, and if you need Bluetooth, they work great. I almost didn’t order this because it didn’t have Bluetooth, but ended up getting it in the speakers and I like it. We’ve ended up using the Bluetooth more than the turntable, as my daughter likes to stream her phone through it. If you do switch quite a bit between 45 and LP records, you’ll like the easy switch they mounted on the front. I have boxes of 45s I’m working on getting through, and play great on the turntable. Five stars all-around from me! ## Features - TWO-SPEED EXTERNAL BELT-DRIVE TURNTABLE: Plays 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records; The 12-inch slipmat keeps your vinyl in the perfect position on the aluminum platter - HIGH-END COMPONENTS: An aluminum tonearm with a cueing lever, an adjustable counterweight, and anti-skate control let you lower the needle on your favorite record with confidence; The removable headshell allows for upgrades to your cartridge, while the clear dust cover protects your vinyl record player even when in use - EXCEPTIONAL SOUND: Set atop an audio-grade MDF plinth, this turntable features a pre-mounted moving magnet Audio-Technica cartridge for premium sound quality; The low-vibration synchronous motor and resonance-dampening feet eliminate interference for smooth playback - CONNECTION: Use the built-in switchable preamp and RCA outputs to connect to your stereo system or powered external speakers; Speakers not included - DESIGN: Inspired by 100 years of Crosley innovations, our products blend vintage looks with modern technology; Crosley Radio products are proudly designed in the USA and come with USA-based customer support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07JQ51DB6 | | Additional Features | Built In Preamp | | Best Sellers Rank | #171,758 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #997 in Audio & Video Turntables | | Brand | Crosley | | Built-In Media | Turntable, Turntable Lid, Turntable Platter, Turntable Slipmat, Headshell, 45 Rpm Adapter, Tonearm Counterweight, Power Adapter, Rca Cable | | Color | Walnut | | Compatible Devices | Speaker | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (146) | | Cycles | DC Motor | | Enclosure Material | Engineered Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00710244223676 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.71"L x 17.72"W x 13.78"H | | Item Type Name | 2-Speed Belt-Driven Turntable with Built-in Switchable Pre-Amp | | Item Weight | 12.79 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Deer Park Distributors | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 45 RPM | | Mfr Part Number | C8A-WA | | Model Name | Crosley C8A-WA | | Model Number | C8A-WA | | Power Consumption | 28 Watts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal Format | Analog | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 60 dB | | Style Name | Turntable | | UPC | 710244223676 | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | One Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crosley - **Color:** Walnut - **Compatible Devices:** Speaker - **Item Weight:** 12.79 Pounds - **Material:** Engineered Wood - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 45 RPM - **Model Name:** Crosley C8A-WA - **Special Feature:** Built In Preamp - **Style:** Turntable ## Images ![C8 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C-o3xRyEL.jpg) ![C8 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MtbBFiR8L.jpg) ![C8 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mDTYVN5PL.jpg) ![C8 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BDDmG3ddL.jpg) ![C8 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zhcXh2GzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great For The Price *by J***Y on April 15, 2019* At $200 or less, this is a great turntable.

I started to listen to vinyls again and did a lot of research looking for a turntable that would sound great without breaking my bank and Im glad that I decided on the C8. Boy was I surprise as to the quality of the sound and the quality of the product. The C8 looks better and sound better that some of the more expensive turntables. It doesn't have the auto shutoff that some other turntables have but not a deal breaker for me (sound quality is). The RPM's were spot on right out of the box...thanks Crosley for the great workmanship. I waited a few months before deciding to post a review cause I wanted to make sure I actually used the product on different albums with different music genres. My C8 is combine with my Bose sound bar and the sound is excellent. I did have to ground the turntable because I was getting a humming sound once in a while.(feedback). ## Frequently Bought Together - Crosley C8A-WA Belt-Driven Record Player Turntable with Built-in Pre-Amp, Adjustable Tonearm, AT3600L Cartridge, and Audio Grade MDF Plinth, Walnut - Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS Power --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/90805746-c8](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/90805746-c8) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
