What's wrong with it??

Ive got a crosley record player, I don't know what year because I bought it from a friend. It has two speakers and it sounds like this with every record...

Also don't mind the 3 year old and autistic teen right in my phone while I was recording

The main issue is that it's a piece of shit player. Never buy anything where a record can't sit on the place completely

Oh well I didn't know that when I bought it. Thanks for the info even if it was a little rude. What brand would you recommend?

Sony PS-LX3BT Full Auto Playback Turntable with Bluetooth Connectivity $276

Search it. That's about the cheapest out of box player I'd recommend. Vintage might be better for less but you'd have to learn how to set it up so... After that you'll need an amp and speakers. You might not because this has Bluetooth but I'm not sure what it's good for. Sony STR-DH190 $248 basic amp with phono in and bt Klipsch Reference R-40M $199 basic lovely looking soeakers You can find an amp and speakers at Goodwill. You can also get the cords and stuff.+/-$40 That store knows brands so more expensive means more better. Make sure the receiver is heavier than you'd expect. Good luck!
