Question: help!!!grandson in college wants a record player--i'm looking at crosley cr6010a re collegiate and crosley 6249a ta keepsake----what is the better way
Document: Full Disclosure:  I have never owned a record player before, and my knowledge of the intricacies and distinctions between higher end models from other manufacturers is limited. With that said,  I will tell you that I am more than satisfied with my purchase of the Crosley Collegiate Portable USB Turntable in red. I got this as a Christmas gift for my better half, and while I have yet to give it to her, I opened 'er up to try it out.
This was a last minute Christmas gift for my son who is a senior in college. He wants to start a vinyl collection and wanted something he can use at his apartment at school. I had ordered another turntable that was out of stock so last minute I ordered the Crosley. He loved the design and the sound is better that I expected from this portable.
Very cool retro looking record player, good construction. Pretty impressive sound. Haven't even tried the computer features yet, i'm sure they are great!
Crosley's Collegiate and Spinnerette record players has identical platters and tone arms, practically copied from an Philips/Mercury tone arm dating back to the 60's and 70's. All other record players produced by Crosley has cheap looking 80's style tone arms, not matching the overall retro design of the individual units. The Collegiate has an magnetic cardridge that gives a very good sound quality, making it superior to all Crosley record players with an ceramic cartridge, identified by the typical red plastic stylus.
This is an attractive record player with a cool retro look. However, it is cheaply made and doesn't work. It doesn't play records at true speed and there is no way to adjust it. Furthermore, the sound produced by the speaker is very thin. Even if you luck into one that plays properly you'll want to run the sound through a better speaker.
Luckily Crosley got their act together and adjusted the problem on this model. The Collegiate has volume control with on/off switch, power indicator light, as well as tone control. All my records, both Lp's, 45rpm singles and 78rpm records sounds great on this record player. On the underside, the record player has a compartement where the 12 volt adapter, pc and aux cables are stored. I would have preferred if this was a battery compartement instead, making this record player even more portable.
Bought this for my daughter and she loved the look but once we tried to play a record, we noticed that the turntable is loose in the box and on an angle causing records to spin uneven. There were also loose screws in the box which we have no idea where they are supposed to go. We've asked for a replacement but after reading the other reviews I am already looking for recommendations for better turntables.
Phonograph works well, about what you would expect for the price. However I am struggling and cannot record. I am  hoping to turn the LP's into MP3's - that is why i bought it. I followed all the suggestions on Audacity's website but I cannot figure it out. I wish I knew a sound engineer. Maybe another software would work better. If anyone has suggestions pls send them. Crosley's customer service will only help with the product not the software.
I'm glad I went with this record player, looks great and the large speaker on the front can really project some volume.
Just got this record player and played several different types of music, jazz, rock, folk and classical records. Excellent sound from a small package, appears solidly made. The aux in works great for an MP3 player. Would recommend this to someone who wants a small, well built record player.
Answer: By far, the collegiate! The keepsake is very tinny sounding where the collegiate has good tones both high end and low end and in between. Good volume control and tone adjustment. Now don't get me wrong it's still not as good as a vintage piece but this is one of the best from Crosley.
