Product Review (submitted on May 2, 2019):

So far I am really loving this turntable. The sound is great. Comes with a built in preamp that you can use, or bypass it to use an external preamp. I ended up really liking the sound of the built in preamp compared to the preamp in my sansui 5000 receiver, much less noise and tighter sound.Comes with a good sounding cartridge, and looks easy to replace if I choose to upgrade. My cartridge was slightly off and I had to set it to the right angle which was very easy to do. In the back of the manual there are protractors that you can cut out and use to properly set the cartridge angle, so there is no need to buy one.Setting the arm up was made easier with the purchase of a digital scale, to get the right tracking weight. So I would highly recommend buying one of those. All the instructions for setup are highly detailed and easy to understand.The only complaint I have is that they provide you with a 45 adaptor but there is no where to store it on the turntable, but this doesn’t matter to me since I don’t play 45’s. Just thought it was worth mentioning Incase someone out there really likes playing 45’s.The finish is beautiful. The wood is great and the dust cover has a classic look to it.
