Product Review (submitted on March 12, 2021):
Five star turntable with a few downs.
1. The labels for the tonearm weight are in grey, makes it very hard to see and set up.
2. The actual tonearm is plastic. A bit disappointing.
On to the positives, which are amazing...
1. Great stylus/needle and cartridge. You don't need to buy an extra stylus to get great sound.
2. Solid plinth/base. The base is outright heavy, it won't be budged or help with nasty vibrations.
3. The detail. From the tonearm's downward and upward automatic motion to the simplicity of the power buttons, this thing has fewer things because fewer things can go wrong with it.
4. The sound and feel. While the sound of what it gives you from clean records is amazing, there is something to be said for the overall feel of records that are pretty good in fidelity. You feel the sounds from even cheap 100 dollar powered speakers in detail.
5. The price is pretty competitive. You can buy a 100 dollar suitcase system and end up with next to nothing. Instead, you can use this table to work towards a literal 350 dollar system that sounds amazing.
Nearly Highly Recommended. I just wish they would make the labels in bright white contrast instead of grey. This is an amazing turntable with a really crisp and deep sound coming from a great mechanism.
