Price Paid: $90.00 from Sony Shop Summary I bought this turntable about 3 months ago now, so far I have had no trouble with it apart from the platter turning a bit slow for a while, but I took it back to my local dealer and they soon had up and running. Excellent features on this turntable are : the automatic operation of it and the just general ease of use. I would recommend this turntable just for a casual listener - like myself and NOT a Dj or such-like.Strength ease of use.Weakness none so farCustomer Service: --Would you like to Comment?

Price Paid: $99.00 from Amazon.com Summary Excellent, simple turntable that works well with any music system because of the built in pre-amp that can be turned on and off at the flick of a switch. Good sound and have had no problems with it thus far. I use it with a small bedroom mini-system but it also works well on my larger living room audio system.Strength Easy set up. Good sound. Has a built in pre-amp.Weakness None.Would you like to Comment? Join audioReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Price Paid: $100.00 from Visions at Medicine Summary Good value fo $100.00. Wouldn't pay a penny more though.....am impressed with sound qaulity. It's almost hard to believe a 100.00 dollar record player could sound so good. No skipping or anything like that. Stylish looks.... note: If anyone knows where I can buy a new needle for it let me know.....Strength easy setup and easy to operate.Weakness plastic gears that may wear prematuraley as opposed to older-style turntables which have metal gears. Not good if you play as much vinyl as I do. this turntable has no 78 setting which really irks me.....Would you like to Comment?

Price Paid: $129.00 from best buy Summary This is a very nice turntable for the low price. Black, fairly nice lines and compact, it has buttons on the front for start, stop, and to change speeds (33/45). There is also a manual up/down button. The turntable is a belt drive - you engage the belt when you put down the platter. I find the construction so-so - with a lot of plastic under the hood. The fit and finish are mediocre. no more than what you might expect for 100 bucks. The sound is good - my old records sound the way I remember them. THe unit comes with a built-in preamp, in case your amp/receiver does not have a Phono input. My Marantz receiver does not have one. I tried connecting two ways. First I tried improving sound quality by turning the built-in preamp off, and routing the phono signal through a preamp within my old receiver to teh AUX input on my new one - I got an awful humming sound. THen I gave up and used the built-in preamp, with the connection directly to my AUX input. This worked fine. I am now in a long trip down memory lane as I have not had a way to listen to my records for the past 7 years!Strength Economical -- $100 to $130 Built-in preamp totally automatic Belt drive should mean less noisyWeakness Cheap construction, not likely to be durable Plastic is obvious lots of vinyl/plastic parts inside Belt seems especially flimsy Platter is aluminum - not particularly heavyWould you like to Comment?
