This is a highly accurate, solid performing turntable that is very well built filled with features having excellent sound quality at a great price!

I'm really impressed with this model Audio Technica turntable. They have obviously addressed some of the flaws found in certain earlier year models. I love the fact they used a mass dampened solid cast aluminium platter which greatly reduced motor rumble and helps in overall sound quality. Having the arm height adjuster counter sunk into the plinth is another big plus. The build on this model is very solid and feels very well made having a steel plinth and a nice heavy duty rubber/plastic compound bottom shell casing is great. It simply adds up to less noise especially when being used in a club atmosphere where the bass is booming. It has plenty of torque and solid platter mount making the platter feel very stable if you are one to want to do some scratching. The painted black S shaped tone arm and Gimble suspension seems nice and solid as does the arm weight adjuster which fits nice and tight on this model. You also have a little more anti skating control going up to 7 grams backforce instead of the standard 3 grams. Having more speed controls adding a 78 rpm speed and having plus or minus 8,16 or 24 % is nice to have and even adding a reverse feature just to add to the many features this unit has which is quite a few more than standard which also includes a nice heavy gauge power cable and a heavy set of RCA plugs with a ground wire integrated into it,both being removable making it easier to pack up for any road gigs you will take it on. Just having them removable is a big plus making it much much easier to replace if ever need be. This model comes with a nice Audio Technica stylus and cartridge which is removable making it easy to put your personal favorite cartridge on this unit and to top it all off it comes with a nice clear dust cover to keep in clean when not in use or to cover while listening to your records as some do. The mounting feet have a nice feel to them too, supportive but also made for a little movement should you barely bump it while playing accidentally. Over all this model is very solid and filled with features any Dj would be happy to have from top to bottom and has amazing sound quality which is clean and clear out the back of the player to connect to your favorite mixing board or home audio receiver amlifier. I'm very pleased with this model and consider it a great deal for the money.
