Product Review (submitted on April 29, 2021):

Fantastic sound, very crisp and clear...and flat (as expected), on first set up was lacking that bit of warmth I had with my old Dual 510, will need to tweak/re-eq. Almost perfectly satisfied...except...the placement of the lift lever. With a well-balanced and weighted arm, reaching across the turntable to lift the arm via the lever will almost certainly result in knocking the arm and having it bounce and skate across your record. The lever is too close to the arm itself, you need to consciously make sure you come in from the right *very carefully*. Lifting the cartridge up directly doesn't help, the arm is too light and you're almost guaranteed to drag it across at least some distance of the surface the moment you touch it.
Hopefully I can retrain my muscle memory to account for this, because the sound is wonderful.
