"a sweet deal"
for years, I will always keep this reocrd player in my room. The only time I expect to get a new one is when I go to college or if it breaks down before that.
Sound
I love this product, I got it my local record store Encore recordings. The first thing I played on it was The Baeatles album Abbey Road. I was impressed by how well the it hit all the high notes on the record sadly if you are bass fanatic you will be dissapointed, as like most record players the profile lacks bass, but if you want great sound quality and sleek design for a good price this turntable cannot be beat.
Features
Obviously the biggest feature is the ability to burn your record collection onto your computer, but I also the dust cover was greatly appreciated because it protected the sleek, black, dust magnet of a design from losing it's glossy look.
Ease of Use
The ease of use for this product is shockingly good, I have an average sound card in my computer and some damn near below average speakers but when "Here Comes The Sun" plays it sounds like a choir of angels, but do to the lack of Bass on this turntable Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" lacked it's usual heartbreaking intensity. This product was fairly easy to set up all you had to do was plug in the usb cord, plug in the power cord, and install some software.
Quality
The quality was exceptional with the exception of the detachable… read more dust cover which for a while kept popping off and pinching me. The quality and richness of the sound is undeniable but it definitley could use some sound customization options, you can do this if you are using a reciever but if you are using your computer this is much harder to do.
Value
This a great value. I love almost everything about the sound of this record player, and it's sex appeal is undeniable for $100 this is a great bargain.

I haven't had to use it so that's a 10
The Wow Factor
This thing looks amazing. With it's sleek, sexy, black, glossy finish and it's curvey design, this is a great looking record player.
