Ideal for seasoned vinyl enthusiasts or those who are just developing an interest in the medium, this LP player offers ultimate versatility in a sleek, streamlined package.
Specially-Designed Tonearm for Enhanced Audio
Mass-produced vinyl turntables in decades past were designed with cost-effective parts and mechanics. As a result, the quality of some features suffered because of the expensive cost. One victim of this was high-end tonearms. Made from a carbon tube, this 8.6-in carbon tonearm is setting a new standard in the turntable industry as its increased stiffness decreases unwanted resonance and vibrations that can compromise the quality of the audio.
The modern design, combined with an increased platter size and Ortofon 2M Red record stylus, drastically improves the sound quality, especially in vintage records. This moving magnet cartridge offers superior channel balance for enhanced stereo sound. Although a tonearm like this was once too expensive for standard turntables, this modern vision is produced for optimal audio quality and exceptional versatility, giving you exceptional sound from both your vintage records and brand-new vinyl.
Cutting-Edge Mechanics for Smooth Operation
This record player is designed with a precision belt drive with synchronous AC motor, which lowers the noise and vibrations that come from the motor, ensuring the sound of your records is not compromised by the mechanical nature of the turntable. The suspended motor decoupling design utilizes TPE-damping effects and is designed with an ultra-precision-frequency DC-driven AC generator, allowing you to increase the volume and play at any speed without fear of added vibration in the motor. This manual, two-speed motor is designed for use with 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records, so you can listen to your favorite albums and singles with the click of a switch. From vintage records to new vinyl, this turntable can play it all with enhanced quality.

I did some research online and decided to try this one out although it was four times the price of the first one. And I don’t regret it! It looks sexy and clean. I like that I have to get a separate pre-amp so I can choose the one I want. It can be upgraded. And after having it now for a few weeks I can tell you it’s totally worth it. I see myself having this for many years. If you’re on the fence about it, especially because of the price, I say go for it! You won’t regret it.

I did some research online for intro level turntables and this one caught my eye. I decided to purchase this one although it was four times more expensive than the first one I got. And I don’t regret it!
The turntable is very well built and sleek. Looks very sexy. I like that it doesn’t have any buttons. Just the on off switch on the bottom of the turntable. I like the idea of having a separate pre amp because I can chose a good quality one. The ability to upgrade the cartridge and platter is a huge plus. Works like a charm. I see me having this for a very very long time. I would recommend this to anyone searching for their first turntable. A little expensive for first timers but very well worth it.
