poor construction 
2008-04-09
Straight out of the box I could not play any record on this turntable without the record grinding at the base of the deck on every rotation. It seems like mine has the same flaw as another reviewer's, which is that the silver base of the unit is not attached firmly enough to hold. I've tried raising the platter with a piece of felt, which prevents the record from hitting the deck, but then the pitch is still a bit unstable and wobbly on many records. I am sure this could have been prevented if Numark had used some screws instead of glue to attach the parts of the deck to one another.
However, I am still in doubt whether I am going to return it because I like the overall design and features so much. Hence, two stars instead of one. Maybe I am going to try fixing it with some super glue ... if anyone with the same problem has tried this, I would love to hear in the comments whether your attempt has failed or succeeded.
Never buy a bad Record again!

this product is great, came quickly, I should have gotten this a long time ago, you need to buy 6 D batteries to take it with you when you shop for vinyl records, it also comes with a power plug so you can use it without batteries near an electrical outlet, it comes with a needle, i was like thank god! I don't have to buy a cartridge/needle everything you need comes in the box (except for the 6 D batteries you have to buy that seperately) has a good sound for such a small speaker, you can change pitch, tone, volume, and you can plug in your headphones if you wanna listen to it privately. DEFINITELY recommended, especially since its cheaper than most regular NON-portable turntables!
Pure junk

I'd always heard great things about numark products, so I decided to roll the dice on the PT01, a big mistake. The good, is that it is a light weight truly portable turntable. The built in speaker provides pretty good sound for being a small speaker. Why the 1 star? b/c the player is poorly constructed. The shiny top piece is poorly glued on, and pops up rubbing against the record while its playing. This causes the record to wobble and creates a very poor sound. I had to put a weight on the player to keep the piece from popping up in order for it to play properly. Little to say I will be staying away from numark products, and I highly recommend that anyone in the market for a player such as this look else where.
Awsome Turntable 2008-02-10
I was totally broke during x-mas season and my lovely girlfriend had dropped hints that she wanted a portable turntable to take along on our vynil digging adventures, so i scoured the internet until i found one that was affordable and seemed to be good quality, The Numark name said it all for me. Prompt delivery and she was the happiest woman in the world. Needless to say i got a little more for christams than i expected(in a GOOD way), and it was GREAT! Oh Yeah, the product......it was in great condition and works perfectly, and the built in speaker....is acually alot louder than i expected. GREAT product and Speedy delivery. Thanks.

NuMark PT01 Great for all ages! 2008-02-09
Santa got this for my son this year. He has really enjoyed the old albums that my husband & I used to listen to. Great buy for the money. I searched high and lo for the best price and the best ratings over the internet and this one was the most cost effective unit. The only gripe I had was that I didn't realize that the USB cables were not included in the package. I tried to find Audio Interface at local stores and was unsuccessful. I then turned back to Amazon and purchased them. Now his friends and parents want one also. We are now able to listen to our favorite albums again!

I like to hear the old style music of Rod Stewart. Now I can listen to it. The sound is clear. the set up is easy. The Rod Stewart rocks....
Can't beat it for the price

A portable turntable that runs on batteries, is lightweight, has two headphone jacks and a pitch control, AND plays 78's...this baby rocks!
Now, I had the same issue that many had with the face plate coming unglued and rubbing on the records while playing. But, I simply put some super glue in there and haven't had a single problem since.
I originally bought one of the Crosley portable turntables and it quit working in the first two weeks, so I returned it and got the Numark. I've been happy ever since.
A final word--this isn't audiophile quality. But, for under 100 bucks, you're not going to get that from any turntable.
Very Disappointed 2008-06-05
Mine came today and I was very excited because I have a fair number of 78s and this is one of the few reasonably priced turntables that will play them (or is so advertised...)
Unfortunately, it is junk. The top is coming off just like noted in some of the other reviews, and either the belt is loose or the motor is shot because it not only does not play at a consistent speed, but even if it did it would not be at the right speeds...with the pitch compensation at a full 10% positive, it barely reaches the stated rpms. I tried both 33s and 78s, and the AC adapter.
Now I am going to have to go to the hassle of returning it to Amazon and waiting for a (more expensive) replacement. I sure doubt it will be a Numark!
Turntable with a very well quality 2008-05-19
I was searching a reliable turntable, I found this item some days ago, this is a good device, it have headphones conecctions and Red and Yellow Audio ports too and buttons to fit some features like Audio, Tone & Pitch; you can choice the differents speeds to 33, 45 and 78 rpm, the sound is great, can take advantage of their portability, great Turntable for the price. Although Numark forgot to include it an automatic arm.
Numark PT01 Portable DJ Turntable 2008-04-28
Excelent product. I connected to my computer easily, could play LP's, 45's and 78's, has speaker; earphone connection, does not need pre-amplifier and once you get the music in your computer with a program like Audacity or DAK Editor you can copy, edit and put into Wave or MP3. Highly recommended for the price, if you're a high tech person this might not be that great but for must of us it works perfectly
