Product Review (submitted on October 27, 2021):
I really regret buying this, but it's too expensive to send back from New Zealand. Sounds is good, quality of finishing is good. But the sound isolation (I'm not sure of the correct term) to the tonearm, platter and body is terrible. Even the slightest touch to the lid or body and you can hear it through the speakers. When you touch the tonearm to move it you hear everything, and you get the resonance though the speakers. I tried my old Technics turntable and its isolation is far superior.
When I first turned on the turntable I had the amp a bit too loud and actually and got a terrible feedback for the first time ever.
Otherwise it's good, but this sound isolation has really spoilt the experience, every time I lift the lid or move the tonearm I cringe.
