What speeds does the Crosley Riff play?

It plays 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm records. The 78 setting is for shellac records, which usually need a different stylus than the one fitted for vinyl LPs.

Can I use the Riff's speakers separately?

The two speakers detach and can be placed in six arrangements around the turntable. They are powered by the unit, so they are not standalone Bluetooth speakers.

Does the Riff have Bluetooth?

Yes. You can stream from a phone or other Bluetooth device through the built-in speakers, in addition to playing records.

Do I need a receiver or amp?

No. The Riff has amplification and speakers built in, so it works on its own. That also means upgrading the sound later means replacing the whole system.

The unit measures about 28.75 inches wide and 4 inches high, so check your shelf or console depth before arranging the speakers.

Is the Riff good for a beginner?

Yes. It is a plug-and-play setup with no separate components to match. Expect modest sound quality compared with a turntable paired with dedicated speakers.
