Everything about this turntable works; it’s simplicity at its finest. The single, multi feature button takes some getting used to but in the end it’s simple too. If your budget won’t afford you that Thorens you always wanted then be sure to look at Bang and Olufsen Beogram turntables. EBay usually has a few auctions going. Try to get one with a good cartridge and needle or you may push yourself out of the price range you were looking for.
