Reviews
I have had it for about one (1) year.
I bought it for digitizing vinyl records in high resolution. I have connected it via USB to the computer where the files are stored (FLAC, WAV in various sampling rates).
Overall impression: From assembly-adjustment to operation, I found that this product of this specific brand has no relation to previous products. I would say that I found it significantly inferior in many aspects compared to the analog predecessor that I was used to. One switch (Standby/On/33/45) instead of separate ones. Non-automatic arm return/power off. Arm and cartridge are of rather low specifications. Lack of fine speed adjustment. Arm pressure/anti-skating adjustments are relatively easy if you follow the instructions faithfully. Before purchasing, I was informed that I could replace or upgrade the cartridge. I read that it is not recommended. I have not tried it yet.
Functionality is rather difficult and inadequate, I would characterize it. First, you need to install the USB driver, of course. And it takes quite a bit of familiarity to achieve a decent recording. It does not give you the ability, apart from recording a selected track or album, to make any other adjustments (such as fade-in/fade-out, mix, anti-scratch, track connection, etc.). You will need to use another program afterwards. However, you can split a track and delete it after saving. Useful when recording the entire side of an LP, for example, and you want to delete certain track(s). The sound volume during digitization has auto or 0 to +6 db adjustment before saving. Useful, but perhaps it should have greater amplification. Especially for certain tracks that are recorded at a low volume. Although it has a Pickup/Out selection switch, it is not recommended for direct connection to speakers, only through an external amplifier. In conclusion: Its price is quite high for its quality/features. Do some research for better products that serve your purpose before deciding.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Positive:
1. Good quality, sturdy construction
2. Full and warm sound
3. Slow needle drop
4. Quiet
5. Switch for switching from 33 to 45 RPM, while in other turntables of the same caliber it is done manually, e.g. RP, Project
6. RCA cables are not integrated, so one can use higher quality ones, although the ones included are very good.
7. Non-integrated power supply
8. Conversion to high-quality audio as promised by its specifications, I have not tested it yetNegative:
1. It is manual, meaning the needle does not return to the initial position. Also, I was used to automatic turntables where as soon as I bring the arm to the platter, it starts rotating, which is not the case here. There is a STANDBY/ON switch for starting the rotation. This makes changing sides of the record a bit more time-consuming.******1 YEAR LATER
WARNING
If someone wants to upgrade the turntable by changing the cartridge, DO NOT attempt it!!
The quality of the cartridge cables is so poor that they break with the slightest touch.
I gave it a rating of 3 stars because it does not have upgradeability.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?
