What customers say about "Key Specs"

Sony PS-LX300USB Turntable with Diamond Stylus and USB Connection, Black

There is some self assembly required for the record turntable itself and the belt but this is very simple and the instructions are very clear.
Still listening to records, and can't imagine the sound could be that much better on a vinyl record player, and easy to use with button functions providing automatic play.
Easy to set up and operate, also the automatic function. Stylish looks.
The turntable works great, I like the automatic system (its safer and more accurate than using my own hands) and the sound for pound is outstanding.
I loved the sound then and I love the sound now. I just had to buy a fully automatic to roll back the years and trust me I am not disappointed.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony PS-LX300USB Turntable with Diamond Stylus and USB Connection, Black

Great looking turntable, light weight, great quality sound.
The build quality is flimsier than I expected but this isn't a problem - at least it's light.
The Sony turntable looks sleek and is slimline, you'll find it quite light in weight.
Neat size, easy to use, would recommend you buy this one.
The arm/head are lightweight and the mechanism is clunky and is reflective of the worst elements of Sony.

What customers say about "Audio"

Sony PS-LX300USB Turntable with Diamond Stylus and USB Connection, Black

The stylus in fact excels :the bass is very very good, and the treble is a compliment instead of the tinny noises you had years ago sometimes.
For a casual record collector or someone who is looking to start a collection it's perfect.
My husband has a record collection that hasn't been played for years. He is absolutely delighted with this birthday gift. Sounds perfect.
Major negatives though; the needle/stylus is far too light, meaning it skips at random points on even brand new records.
The turntable is excellent but we received it without a stylus. A stylus is a basic necessity for a turntable.

Still listening to records, and can't imagine the sound could be that much better on a vinyl record player, and easy to use with button functions providing automatic play.
Good quality turntable, plug and play with my (very old) amplifier and rest of kit.
I've not connected it to my pc yet. I just plugged it into the aux/TV input on my dvd player. There's a switch on the back of the record player for phono or pre amp.
Playback has been smooth and crystal clear, and I personally love the way the table looks.
The turntable has a tedency to skip across the record, which is obviously extremely annoying.
