Pros: outstanding turntable
Cons: bad conical stylus
It's specs are right up there with the low end of audiophile turntables, except the cartridge/stylus. The cartridge can be updated by LPGear with a new elliptical stylus for $30. There are some very good p-mount cartridges out there, but I would recommend the p-mount from Audio Technica, AT311EP $59 (upgradeable to the shibata diamond stylus for $50more). With either of these upgrades, you'll probably be listening to the best turntable you've ever had. The servo controlled motor keeps speed accurate, even when belt stretches. The P-mount arm is already preset for all p-mount cartridges (stylus weight, and anti-skate). You can pay a lot more, but you may also get a lot less. Most high end turntables either have no cartridge or most need to be upgraded. There's plenty of good dealers on the internet, that has these upgrades at a very reasonable price. Make sure you have the phono outlets on your receiver. If not, Behrenger makes a good preamp for $20 (includes power converter). Others start at $30 to over $100.
Note: If you like all the controls on DJ turntables, then you need to get one. Just remember none of them have the specs of this turntable for critical listening. ...
