Product Review (submitted on June 17, 2020):

This turntable is very twitchy and high maintenance. I am no stranger to stereo set up. I have been using mid to high end systems for years. Could not get tonearm balanced, even with use of protractor. Even after setting weight to the recommended grams it would have trouble making a good connection to the record. There was also too much play in the arm. It would float and bounce as it was held over the record. Line level buzz was loud. The turntable I had before, A B&O Beogram 1600 had no buzz. It isn't the speakers ( Polk Audio). Nor is it too close to the speakers receiving feedback. Fluance also recommends a 24 hour burn in. I never was a proponent of this. I believe you burn in as you play. Had it for two days and returned it. Very disappointed to say the least. Would not recommend. I had high expectations for this turntable.
