Product Review (submitted on December 16, 2022):
The turntable is made made in Taiwan which I didn't know when I bought it. I assume the cartridge made in China also. Sound distorted to the point can't listen. Loud rumble from from turntable also poor shock dampening so when someone walks on the floor the turntable jumps all over. This replaced my $200 Sony which is far superior to this as super quiet, no distortion, no rumble, good shock dampening and sound better than live. I actually believe the cartridge is probably bad or needle bad due to poor quality control. I feed this to a tube pre amp and tube amp same as Sony but now replaced the fluance with my sony until I return the fluance or send the cartridge in for repair. I did t know that blue cartridge is only the middle of the ortofone line and several are higher end. When I bought the Sony I was stunned by the sound. I shouldn't have bought the fluance.
