Product Review (submitted on September 10, 2022):
Bought the bamboo/natural wood grain version, two of them. Then upgraded to the acrylic platter. Here is where my trouble began. To make a long story short....if you upgrade to an Audio Technica 520/530/540 cartridge you will need an additional mat. I used an acrylic mat on top of the acrylic platter. Everything worked like it should. Sounded great. What I found out was that the Ortofon OM Cartridge has more depth in reaching the platter. When I used the Audio Technica it would not reach all the way down to the album. Hence the additional acrylic mat. So I replaced the Orotofon OM10 that comes with the turntable with an OM20 stylus and it was well worth the money. It actually sounds better than the Audio Technica VM540 cartridge and stylus. I also got rid of the additional acrylic mat. This is really a sweet sounding turntable with the OM20 upgrade.
