5.0 out of 5 stars What a super product!, October 12, 2003

Being a Baby Boomer, I had a record collection carefully protected, literally 1000s of albums, but nothing to play it on. Have several players, but no needles. Talk about finding a needle in a haystack!! So I was determined to get a new player. Well I checked out a lot of different brands on an average price range of $150 and they were all small size players, most were shoddy plastic that I just kept looking. THis is a professional record player, with all the goodies you see DJs using. Not that I want to what they do, but I appreciate the craft in this player and know it is delivering such splendid performance.

The player is heavy, the first thing you notice when you pick it up saying it is not these plastic "toy" players. The replacement cartridges are a very responsible price, so I won't have to worry about not being able to find them. It plays in 33, 45 and 78, but the real draw is the easy with interfacing it with various mediums such as allowing you to plug directly into ANY mixer without a phono in or ground cable or connecting directly to your computer. Neat feature is You can use the MP3 line in sending audio through your turntable without having to even touch your mixer.

The quality and options and this amazing price just make it one super buy!

Excellent turntable! For the guy who gave it one star (totally unreasonable) because of no catridge: Read the description - it clearly states cartridge not included. Most turntables do not come with a cartridge and when they are included, they are usually the lower end of the spectrum. This is a super product for the price, especially for home use. It is fully adjustable with regard to vertical tracking force, tone arm height, anti-skating, etc. Solid build quality and excellent sound. Highly resistant to resonance. It has a built in preamp if you don't have a phono input and it will also convert to digital output for connection to your computer or a CD recorder. Excellent product. Yes there are better and more expensive, but for the price and feature content, this is hard to beat. You can choose between the S tone arm or the straight tone arm as well. You can't go wrong with this deal.

Got this monster of a turn-table as a birthday present after my old Technics gave up the ghost a few years back. Be forewarned, it doesn't come with a needle so I ordered a Stanton 680HP cartridge/needle from a DJ web source (Amazon carries it for about the same price) and with in minutes of attaching it to the player I had burned 2 Kinks 10" LPs onto my computer. It was extremely simple, even for me, an individual who can barely tell a monitor apart from a TV. A RCA cable to the amp and then a stereo RCA to Mini 2 m. pair cable (Amazon or Radioshack has them) from the amp to the soundcard mic connection and Pow! all my old punk rock 7"s which I haven't listen to in years came back to life. Next to burn is the Miles Davis Mosaic 10 LP Plugged Nickel Sessions. Wow, what a beautiful moment. I'm using Musicmatch to record and selecting line-in in advance options and volume leveling to boost the sound although it probably doesn't need it. Then a few seconds later and the Kinks were on a burned CD and in my car stereo sounding so sweet. StantonDJ web site is a great help especially the message board for figuring out the hook-ups if you have any problems. Now the only problem is figuring out which of the 1200 LPs and 400 7"s to burn next...
