  2. Basic but good. 1 people found this helpful
    Overall Performance

    I am totally impressed with this manual turntable. Wanting to revisit my old vinyl collection, I pulled my old Phillips turntable out of the closet where it had sat, peacefully, for 15 years as I slwly became solely dependent on digital tunes. (I loved the convenience of CD's, and then I loved the convenience of streamed music, and essentially consumed a strict diet of digital for years). Anyway, the turntable worked for 2 albums and then quit. Just died. It wouldn't even start to turn. I did some basic troubleshooting and then gave up. At 35 years old it wasn't worth the effort. So, I did some research and bought this one, with zero regrets. No, it has no auto features - at the end of the record, it just turns off - but it is an impressive player nonetheless. I chose to use a small tube preamp (not super expensive, but better than the TI inbuilt preamps) and turned the inbuilt preamp to bypass. I replaced the included Audio Technical cartridge with my old Grace F9 and wow, the sound is amazing. I had forgotten how warm and cozy a good vinyl pressing can be! I did install the included AT cartridge in another headshell and use it for older albums. It is a good conical cartridge and very forgiving, unlike my Grace which sounds great but picks up every flaw. The turntable is an excellent buy and I would highly recommend for those who are returning to their old vinyl collection, or anyone wanting an excellent basic turntable that is easily upgraded with any level cartridge you might want.

  4. Well Worth the Price 0 people found this helpful
    Overall Performance

    Very easy to set up, with simple and straightforward assembly. Looks sleek and feels sturdy to the touch. Highly recommend for audiophiles on a budget.One thing of note, it NEEDS to be burned-in prior to playing your favorite vinyl. The manufacturer recommends a 24 hr burn-in period for the turntable to spin freely and this is a must. Tried to play a record after assembling the turntable and it sounded completely off and flat. 24 hrs of spinning later, and the sound quality was significantly improved. In my opinion, it puts out better and better sound quality with every hour it plays. Just something to keep in mind if you're replacing a well-loved turntable, it's going to take a little bit before it's properly broken in but it's well worth the wait. Overall very satisfied with this product!

  5. Excellent sound quality and classic design. 0 people found this helpful
    Overall Performance

    Took me while to work out the distortion but the fix is simple. Just switch off the pre-amp if you hook up to an amp with a phono input.
