Tracking force and anti-skating are carefully calibrated at the factory; no further adjustment is needed.	8.6" Low Mass Tonearm Primary's 8.6" low mass straight tonearm is designed to deliver the audio signal from your record without gathering unwanted outside resonances that could smear or otherwise degrade your music.	Vibration Decoupling Feet Primary comes pre-equipped with special rubber feet which are designed to prevent unwanted vibrations that originate outside of the turntable from making their way into your music.	Ortofon OM 5E MM Cartridge Primary comes equipped with Ortofon's OM 5E moving magnet (MM) cartridge. Its elliptical shaped stylus provides balanced and distortion-free playback that is this table's perfect match.

300mm Platter

Primary's MDF platter provides a smooth rotation for fantastic sonic performance, and is finished off with a felt mat.

Low Vibration Belt Drive

Primary's belt drive design features a low vibration synchronous motor and remote locatable DC power supply for velocity stability, less electrical interference and reduced vibration.

a sturdy red twist tie

December 15, 2016

Color: BlackStyle: No USBVerified Purchase

Early days to judge; hours in fact. But after much soul-searching and competitive review-scouring, I find this elegant and well-built machine gives steady, warm, clear, vibrant, and spacious analog sound; exactly what's needed, not a bit more or less. Tiny observations to be aware of: a thin black felt mat is included though not pictured (I "splurged" a bit and went for anti-static cork); the setup instructions mention a transport tone arm securer which is, let's face it, a sturdy red twist tie; and a hole-punched bookmark with cartridge alignment grids comes with, though instructions on how to use it (I guess if you upgrade the cartridge) seem not to, at least in the English and German versions. Also, prepare to exercise patience while installing the perimeter drive belt; without a matching groove on the platter this takes the dexterity of a violinist (or at least this violinist). Nonetheless I haven't heard recorded sound like this since CD's came out, and I'm grateful to be able to hear my LPs so well rendered.

its very easy to bump or knock off when changing out a ...

May 29, 2017

Color: BlackStyle: No USBVerified Purchase

The way the belt is attached to the table is quite ridiculous. Its a round belt that goes on a flat surface, no grove or anything for it to rest in. It has a tendency to want to roll off as you put tension on it when trying to pull it around the table. Also, its very easy to bump or knock off when changing out a record, and I have had a difficult time getting it to stay on after that occurs. It becomes somewhat less difficult with practice, I suppose, but while after about 4 months it occurs less often, it still happens. And if someone who has never changed a record out on this model attempts to, they will knock it off. Every. Single. Time.

I also do not like how stiff the lid is when it opens (I have been told that can be adjusted, but have yet to look into it), and that it only has three legs to sit on. So occasional, when opening it, it wants to rock because the rear leg is in the center. I do not understand the point of any of these issues, unless they're somehow related to cost cutting and this is what you run into at this price point. That aside it sounds just fine, to my ears anyway, Im no audiophile. I really like the minimalist, simple, clean look of the layout. I think for what you pay, its worth it from a quality standpoint, so I am not looking to replace it. But due to what I find to be extremely irritating design characteristics I would not buy again.

The record player I had used prior had auto return and would shut its self off when the record was done, this does neither. I do not consider these to be short comings, but rather a reflection of the price point, and features that I had grown accustomed to and didnt realize were something I wound find as convenient as I do now that I no longer have them. If you absolutely cannot afford anything else and want something that isnt a toy, this is a good place to start looking.

very retro like the 60's audiophile turntables

March 29, 2017

Color: BlackStyle: With USBVerified Purchase

Ok. This is a bare minimum audiophile turntable. Quite asthetic looking with the large belt gong around... very retro like the 60's audiophile turntables. The only thing that is not on it is adjustable anti-skating and tracking force dial. You can change the tracking force, though with the included Allen wrench. Since the skating is fixed, it will still except any tracking force from 1.5 to 2 grams with out affecting it too much. (Anti-skating is always within a range.) why would you want to buy this? Inexpensive turntables are noisy. Cartridges are pickups like guitar pickups. They take tiny vibrations and explode them into sound. If you ever picked up an electric guitar hooked up to an amp and, without playing it, put your ear up to the speaker you will hear unwanted noise... people talking, you fumbling around with the instrument... every bump, etc. Same with a turntable when the needle is on the record. Non-audiophile turntables are made of ABS plastic, thin metal and are hollow on the inside. Its like having a sound chamber (like on an acoustic guitar, amplifying everything.) The sounds are soft and when playing your vinyl's, these extra sounds are hiding underneath the music competing to be heard. The turntable is sound suppression system. You don't hear the noise for you tune it out. But, if it's suppressed, all the tiny details that you never knew are now audible. And, you ears are very keen to those soft sounds: (The sliding of a finger across a guitar string, for instance.) These are all the things on this turntable that suppress sound.

1. Micro Density Fiber (MDF) Board body.
2. MDF platter.
3. No sound chamber between body and platter.
4. Isolated motor.
5. precision brass platter bearing.
6. Dampening over-sized cap stand
7. Round (outside the patter) turntable belt.
8. Rack-and-pinion tonearm mount, with vibration suppression ring.

All these things is what you are paying for to keep any unwanted vibrations from being picked up by the cartridge. To give you an idea if the difference, I had a cheap Gemini TT with the same OM5e cartridge on it. When I heard this, I swore that I had a completely different cartridge. That's what an audiophile turntable (just a motor and a platter and nice tone arm) can do to improve music reproduction. The only downside is that you have to physically change the belt position on the cap stand to get 45 rpm. But I only have two 45's anyway! But definitely worth it.
