(More customer reviews)Having owned several plastic cheap turntables over the years ( all of them are in turntable heaven now)this was the last one I purchased.I have had it for almost 2 years and enjoy listening to it almost everyday like it was the first day I bought it ! In fact I sometimes prefer to listen to the old warm analog sound of my vinyl collection versus the new cold digital age of music.What will immediately set this 'table apart from other imitations or knock offs is the rugged and heavy duty plinth (what the actual wheel of steel sits on) and its impeccable or uncanny way of tracking even some older somewhat warped lps (if counter-weight and anti tracking are adjusted just so). This is not only the working dj's table but also for the guy or gal with the valuable record collection. Though it is totally manual, the sacrifice of having to get up (off my lazy ...)and stop it at the end of an lp side is well worth it in exchange for the high calibre of performance.Also, from my past experiences with full automatic turntables I would often pay a high price for owning them because the automatic mechanisms were always the first part to breakdown on any of my tables.This one is a no frills manual without the worry of an automatic mechanism failing (dropping the needle on the outside of the record or rejecting before the actual time of side a or b was up GRRRR !). Rotational speed accuracy is incredible (practically almost no wow and flutter).Start up from a dead stop is fast!You can even gently run your fingertips in the opposite direction the platter is playing and feel how tight and tough the motor fights you to maintain a constant correct speed.This is a great table for archiving your valuable lp's onto a cd recorder due to the smooth start and stop feature.It is also an attractive looking piece of audio equipment that would look like the crowning component jewel to any a/v system;it would make your friends do a double take(either because its an aesthetically nice looking piece or the puzzlement of why anybody still listens to records)It will definitely make young kids and some teens say, "what the heck is that ???). Fitted with an excellent cartridge it will give hours of enjoyment for a party as well as probably outlive the family cat !
