- It does not have automatic arm on it but that does not bother me and you also have to build it up yourself which is not to hard to do
- Great sound, great for listening all your vinyl collection. It has automatic option for 33 rpm and 45 rpm.
- This is an excellent turntable. USB compatible and the sound is great, even with some slight damage to the vinyl of some LPs it plays beautifully.
- Bought this Sony turntable at Christmas. The reproduction from Vynil LPs is great. Full marks to Sony.
- This has a 33 and 45 speed, so great for 45 singles or LPs.
- I personally love the design, though it's marmite to some, its simple and sleek with a nice sturdy matt black baseboard black hardware
- Also it just looks amazing on my living room. Still think that it is a bit expensive, but it keeps sony reputation on sound quality.
- Build quality is solid and it didn't take too long to set up.
- Easy to assemble, very well built. Great option for mid level entry.
- Enjoying a complete nostalgia fest with Mrs X and little Xs listening to records we have not played in decades. Really easy to set up, elegant design.
- Thankfully nabbed it in a sale. On first impressions the sound is beautiful. Really nice and crisp, with great ranges, either to an amp or direct to speakers using the built in amp stage.
- I have listened to heavy and thrash metal, hard rock, pop, prog, acoustic, ambient and even crooners. Clarity and soundstage have been great.
- Threw on some new records, and some mint classics. All perfect. In some cases hearing them almost like for the first time.
- In-built preamp has a decent quality. I am using just as a player, did not try the recording functionality so far.
- The turntable handled everything from the delicate woodwind, full string sections and plunky, tight upright bass with nice detail.
- Operation is a basic dial selector on the left hand side (on, 33 1/3rpm,45rpm. Again, it is all very minimal, simple, flush and straight, which I think gives it a kind of understated look.
- As an added bonus, using the USB out straight to your computer means you can save your record tracks as hi res audio files to take with you.
- This turntable is just perfect, sound quality is amazing, it just brings everything from my vinyls!
- Be it a well loved piece of vintage vinyl or a brand new pressing, it sounds beautiful!!!
- Put on a good quality pressing and it'll really impress Overall, a very good buy
