Review by J. Williams : Get this now! 
This turntable is the bomb. Period. Super easy to use, super easy to assemble, and with the right needle it sounds like gold. I would recommend going ahead and ordering a good needle when the turntable is ordered. I didn't and borrowed a mediocre needle from a friend and it sounded like sh--, then I had to wait for the needle I ordered to arrive. With the needle I have now the playback is awesome. I play a lot of hip hop records and the bass is there with force along with the highs and mids. Everything has the warmth, body, and clarity one would expect from listening to music on this format.
Review by David Inglis : The right balance
Cost/benefit curves typically have a "knee" in them. Below the knee you pay a little more and get a lot more. Above the knee you pay a lot more to get a little more.
As far as I can tell this turntable is at the sweet spot slightly above the knee. A rock solid heavyweight, impervious to vibration, bulletproof, sounds great...what more could you ask for?
Review by J. Sands "Gvr4ever" : It's just wonderful.
This thing is great. I really don't understand why anyone would want/need to spend more. It has all the alignment tools needed. It can do anything and everything. Most of all, it sounds great. The cartridge that comes with it will get you started, but mate this turn table with a Shure M97xE Hi-Fi Phono Cartridge and you got yourself a wonderful sounding turn table for the audiophile on a budget and more really. I've been in to audio for a long time now, and money doesn't always equal great sound. I favor the sound of this turn table with the upgraded cartridge and good vinyl to my SACD player. It's softer, but it just seems to have more detail and life to it. I hate most audio reviews that abuse words, so I'm not going to bother. Norah Jones voice sounds AMAZING!!!! Hows that for simple? I have her on SACD too. I like the 200g vinyl and this turn table with the upgrades better.
Only down side. Don't use the internal amp. It has no bass. FYI, one of your older HT amps might just have a gem of a phono amp, and preamp outs on it. :)
