Customer Reviews

I recently bought this for my first turntable setup and I couldn't be happier. Exactly what I was looking for. If you're thinking about buying it, just buy it, you won't have any regrets.
-
I'm impressed blew my mind the sound out of the rt81 and ai41 speakers
-
Really great quality Supreme listening experience. Very pleased with my purchase so far. It's only been 2 weeks but I listen to at least one record everyday & I couldn't be happier with this high quality turntable. My only peeve is $250 speakers are just average, they look great but volume wise not as loud as I would expect
-
It's awesome. Records sound great, easy setup, and can quickly switch to Bluetooth to play from my other devices.
-
Amazing, exactly what I was looking for. The sound is incredible, the design is sleek and beautiful, and set up was as easy as a turntable system can be
-
Easy to set-up, great experience from purchase to the actual audio experience from these speakers and beautiful vinyl turntable.
-
This is an amazing product! We broke in the turntable and speakers as instructed and the sound is incredible. My wife and I have been spinning records like old school DJs. The system creates a warm sound that fills the room. Some of these records sound better than I remember. Highly recommend this product to anyone who considers themselves an audiophile!

Being a teen in the 80's, like many others here, I grew up on vinyl. 91' onward we move into CDs, digital etc and grow out of our vinyl collection. So here we are rediscovering our love of all things music and vinyl.
After the 24 hour 'burning in' period; I do have to say first that on My initial listenings I was disappointed by My perceived lack of volume. It just didn't seem to be loud enough. After all my research/reviews before purchasing it truly left me questioning my decision. Fast-forward just a few days and taking the time to actually retrain My ear (apparently that's a thing LOL) .. listening at a low volume, hearing the nuances and subtitles of the music, getting use to the warm, full sound of this amazing turntable and speaker really made a tremendous difference. Now, as I gradually increase the volume, the sound is simply fantastic. I am posting My review after approx. 3 weeks of enjoying and I regret NOTHING. Each and every positive review this system has received is 100% accurate. Buy with confidence ! -
Beautifully crafted and excellent jumping off point for turntables! Performs quite well and fairly easy to set up for a first timer!
-
I purchased after buying and returning another company's product. Everything went together perfectly. Instructions were clear and simple. Very happy with my purchase.
-
Solid sound quality ! It was everything I had read in reviews. With so much digital sound it was amazing to here real depth in the music again and at a price that doesn't make you cry ! If you never owned a real record player or any vinyl then you owe yourself this ! ! !
-
Upgrading to this from a standard, $100 turntable rendered me almost speechless. I truly did not know vinyl records could sound this great. This turntable was easy to set up, the speakers connected easily to the table, and the sound quality is amazing. Shipping to boston took only about 2 days as well. Great experience overall from purchase to usage.
-
Beautiful machine! Super easy setup. Sound is above average for the price.
-
I'm so happy! waiting 24 hrs while the turntable spun, and the speakers got broken in was a test of patience . And then viola, sound, really really good sound. thank you. I love my new machine!
-
Excellent sound. Very well made. Looks great too.
