Product Review (submitted on November 23, 2021):

The only reason I gave two stars is because of the ortiphon blue cartridge. This cartridge is absolutely beautiful. The deck itself is sub par. It takes twenty or thirty seconds to get up to speed and has a loud motor sound. After emailing them during my return period I was assured that this was normal. I’m sorry, but at this price range I shouldn’t be leaning against the wall for thirty seconds just to drop the needle. The motor is so weak that even lightly applying a carbon fiber brush will stop the motor. Really any other $500 turntable would be better than this. My biggest regret is not returning it in the first thirty days. I didn’t buy this to end up feeling like I am settling. I’m going to cut my losses and buy another turntable somewhere else. At least I have an overpriced ortiphon blue right?
