How does this jukebox compare to the Crosley version? Is this one better or worse?

Sorry....can't help. I will say that this is the main sound system in our pool table room. Good sound....people love it. Our room is decorated "old school"....so this fits in perfectly. Plays from all phones....one of the top reasons I chose it.

Sorry but I have never actually seen or used the Crosley so I can't say which one is better. I did return this one however because the push buttons on it were so small it was difficult to operate correctly.

...don't know....I'm satisfied with this purchase although the sound could be better.

Regarding the Northwest 72-5715 Jukebox, to the Crosley version, is that they are about the same quality. Some persons may prefer the Crosley name, on their replica jukebox, to have it look more authentic, and nostalgic. However, if that is not a concern, I would go on purchasing the brand, with the best price, for the the money. I myself, own them both, for I collect different types of jukebox replicas; i am familiar with both of these brands.

The Northwest 72-5715 jukebox is great, the sound is clear and loud and my husband love it. Also, the services from this company was excellent.

I am sorry I do not know your answer as our jukebox is up north in our home in Oregon and we will not be back until April. However, I am replying to say the sound is great from the jukebox with no outside amplification. We have a large home and the jukebox sounds great wherever we are. We just turn it up if we are on the other side of the house!

Dan, keep looking and you will find the Saffire for less than the PreSonus 24/96. Personally, I was focused on getting the Saffire Pro 40 and was monitoring the price every day here in Amazon. Found an awesome deal, pulled the trigger and never looked back. This is my current interface and my next upgrade is to pair it with an OctoPre from Focusrite. Can't go wrong with Focusrite.

I own this and the the big jambox. This is not louder than the big jambox, however it is more portable and is louder than the original jambox (which I used to own until I replaced it with this). Probably good for a hotel room party. A field? Probably depends on how large the field is.

No question, the Roku is much better. My review of the Duet: http://piaw.blogspot.com/2009/08/review-squeezebox-duet.htmlMy review of the Soundbridge: http://piaw.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-roku-soundbridge.html

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.

I recently bought the mini and really like it. I have no experience with the larger Jambox. As it it's smaller than the Jambox, I think the biggest difference will be the capability of generating sound in the bass range, because you need the larger physical dimensions to generate strong low frequency sound. Despite its size, I think it has great bass for music which is where I think it matters most. The features I really like are the compact size - take it anywhere, and the talking battery level.

while the squeezebox seems to be a nice radio, i too had connection problems with it way too often. i went another route and am happier (grace mondo). no, i don't work for grace. the mondo doesn't drop connection often (very rare and it is usually the internet), comes with a remote, the battery lasts much longer, and is much easier for non techies to deal with. i'm not sure which radio is better sound quality wise, but i just couldn't deal with the squeezebox signal issues. i don't have that with the mondo.

I have a Crosley (is that what you meant?) too. The Crosley looks nicer and is more durable but costs two or three times more. It also has cd and cassette. The Craig has just radio and record player, but was a great deal. I keep it at school and let my students use it between classes and it's still going strong a few years in. Sounds pretty good, too! You can't go wrong with either.

Here is the information I copied off the back of my Crosley Jukebox CD player. Frequency Range: FM 87.5-108MHz and AM 525-1710KHz; Power Consumption 25W; Power Source AC 120V-60Hz. Hope that helps!

YES! and better than the newer style "boom boxes". Those seemed to always eat my old tapes..this one doesn't do that at all.

Yes, it is. It sounds so sweet with its own built-in DAC, through the RCA audio outputs. I repeat a segment from my review done earlier: I read a Group Test review in "Hi-Fi Choice" magazine, November 2011 issue, long after buying it. SBT against the audiophile heavy weights Cambridge Audio Sonata, Cyrus Stream X, Marantz NA7004, Rotel RDG-1520 and Yamaha NP-S2000, costing 2 to 6 times costlier than the SBT. Squeezebox Touch won the match! I am a fan of Logitech SBT.

Steven L, if you read my review of this player, you should know that the other player to which I referred was the Onkyo 7030. I set them up and did an A:B comparison. With most discs, the differences were barely perceptible. On a few, the Yamaha sounded just a tiny bit "muddy" when compared to the Onkyo. My wife was unable to discern any differences. Both are excellent players. But if it helps your decision making process about getting one of these to add to your "stack," be aware that I am returning the Yamaha and getting a 2nd Onkyo.

The sound on the Sony is pretty spectacular, it offers you, the user, quite a bit of flexibility in adjusting the sound, tone, etc.I purchased the Sony unit for a couple of reasons, one, I've had great luck with their "portable" units in the past, but this unit in particular allows me to play CDs, tapes, the radio, or from a USB source. I've loaded a variety of music onto thumb drives, and allowed the Sony to shuffle the music and basically play "DJ" for gatherings without me having to give up my evening to keep music going. I'm not overly familiar with the Sharp GM-X10 system, so it's difficult for me to make an honest comparison between the two.Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have read the same thing, but both J&R; Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

There are some review sites that claim the sound to be better on the 451, but I discern any difference. I will say that when I compared, the 451 were straight out of the box with very little burn in time while the 450 had considerable burn in time so maybe another comparison will yield different results.

I use the JML2 as a sample player exclusively. I do no looping. I am a singer/guitar player who uses the unit to start and stop backing tracks with my foot. Left = click ~ Right = tracks. Aside from the archaic procedures and limitations to maneuver the software when loading audio into the unit; (it cannot be read as an external drive without the quirky "JamManager" software which is cumbersome), it is a solid unit. I needed stereo so I can only say it's better than the Solo XT due to that fact.
