Product Review (submitted on May 2, 2019):

Most importantly, the turntable produces significantly better sound than I can recall from my LP collection, effectively eliminating (or at least minimizing) the years' long wear and tear heard on vintage LP's. And, contrary to at least one review criticizing the stability of speed produced, I have yet to note any deviation of sound due to unsteady speed, and I have a pretty good ear for such. Plus, it's a very attractive, professional looking piece of equipmentDislikes - minimal hassle with the automatic stop. It does stop tuning at the end of the record after a short period but I would have preferred that it would at least return the tonearm to its cradle - it's a little annoying to have to manually tend this minor chore in preserving the LP's and the equipment when also doing something else while enjoying the music. Also, I was looking initially for a 3 speed unit, as I also have a minor collection of 78 rpm discs, but couldn't find a comparably rated unit at the time of purchase that included this feature. Ultimately decided I would go ahead and invest in a inexpensive separate 78 rpm player to have that capability. A minor complaint, more than offset by my pleasure at the result when listening to the seemingly revived 33's I own.
