The turntable is a joke, it's a toy for little kids. I've had several turntables in my hands and I assure you that this is by far the worst. As soon as you hold it in your hands, you can tell the poor quality of construction. Everything is plastic. Even the platter, which in most turntables is made of aluminum, is of very poor quality here. But the worst of all is that when you plug it in, even if it's in the off position, it shocks you as soon as you touch the handle of the cartridge, and of course there is no grounding because the turntable doesn't support it. Also, the anti-skating doesn't work, resulting in the needle jumping straight to the second track when you place it on the first! Everything is wrong with this turntable, much worse than the turntables in the 50-100 euro range
