  Nothing of note

this is a great turntable at a good price It is fully automatic (one of the few). despite other reviews, I found no speed problems or pre-amp problems My only minor complaint is that it has no arm lock and no folding arm to hold up the cover. but it does have a stylus protector & a nice platter mat

It is built very well and works flawlessly. I like the features of this turntable and it wasn't hard to set up. If you are looking for an upgrade from your basic turntable this is a nice one to have.

  Durable, Easy Controls, Great Sound

Clarity. This is my first "upgrade" and I was skeptical because I didn't know if I was upgrading or just getting a more expensive turntable. This thing sounds very good! The music is very clear at any level. Turn it up though, it's powerful.

Smooth operation which functionally allows you to successfully add a high end cartridge. I'm using the Grado Prestige Gold1, and it plays without error. It also deserves a high quality preamp like the Vincent PHO8.

Your not going to find a better turntable with every feature of a expensive turntable and have it be fully automatic. And it has a great lid I don't think it gets better then this

  Durable, Easy Controls, Easy To Set Up, Great Sound

Assembly was fairly simple. My only issue was the counterweight on the tonearm. I'm not certain that I have it properly adjusted, and that whole process is less than foolproof. Otherwise, a very good automatic turntable at a fair price.

  Ease of assembly, full function turntable.

  Counterweight installation could be more secure.

Rarely does a complete turntable come along like this one. Please ignore foolish/ridiculous comments like a remote control (no good TT has it). The arm is quite capable to perform well with most any quality cartridge (The Aud.Tech.

  Durable, Easy Controls, Easy cartridge replacemt

Replaced my dying Sony turntable with this and I love it. It you've never set up a turntable there is a little work to balance and adjust tracking of arm but follow the directions and it's pretty simple.

Overall very pleased and would certainly recommend, but this deck certainly needs an arm clamp and a dedicated power button

Really nice to get back into vinyl. I changed the included cartridge with a Shure M97xE. It sounds great.Very easy to set up. I would recommend to anyone getting back into vinyl, without spending a fortune.
