Product Review (submitted on August 30, 2020):

I replaced my vintage turntable with the RT-83 after long consideration. I prefer vintage equipment but got tired of the issues that come along with it. So after looking at this table for over a year I decided to take the plunge and Boy am I glad I did!! I went for the walnut cuz it looks like vintage and matches the look of my old one, Except is the RT Is much prettier! I’ve had mine for about 3 weeks and I’ve played almost all my records on it so far. The RT sounds Amazing!! Astonishing! It handles All genres of music Perfectly! I use an acrylic platter and record weight as well. I’m sure it sounds fine without these but it only makes the bass tighter and reduces vibration on old records. The Ortifon Red cart, is absolutely fantastic! I was concerned it would amplify the imperfections of my old records but NO! It makes them sound better! I originally thought that no auto return would be an issue but I actually Love this feature! It just stops after about 30 seconds and stays put. My old one would Rip the needle off the record on my 180 gram records, so the auto return feature was hurting my records on the old table. So I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I am having So much fun throwing on my collection record after record and hearing them sounding better than Ever! Keeping it simple, the RT-83 is such a solid well built turntable! I’m in love!
