Perfect for what I needed.... a solid automatic turntable for casual listening. It feels very solid and well built. It was a breeze to set up. Sounds very good to me. I had an lp60 and this seems about 100% better.

It's truly a platform to build on. The arm is excellent, so you may choose any cartridge you desire. If you can't afford a separate preamp, the internal gives you the option of MM or MC cartridges. The optional output to a separate preamp allows you to match the cartridge to the preamp. There are many lower priced turntables, but this one is the best of the group. Let's not overlook the ground wire that allows you to ground the motor for no hum at any volume. Add a white acrylic mat from Hudson HiFi, and now you can get the most from your records. I chose to add a weight from the same seller, and it holds the record against the acrylic to deaden the background noise, tighten the bass, and give greater detail to your highs. If you have never owned a turntable, then this is the best you can buy under the price of the AT-LP5 (manual from Audio Technica). The English magazine rated both turntables 5.0 in every category, and few ever receive these marks.

Clarity. This is my first "upgrade" and I was skeptical because I didn't know if I was upgrading or just getting a more expensive turntable. This thing sounds very good! The music is very clear at any level. Turn it up though, it's powerful. I want to put out some good words about it so that someone like me doesn't hesitate on getting this thing. It's also easy to use, I was always afraid of counter weight, anti-skate. Now I have no problem.
