"A very good product that should provide a smile for many years."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

The speakers are mono and do not sound very good at all. The sound is tolerable but quite limited-almost similar to a small transitor radio. The volume is poor and will not play loud. The best way to listen is to hook a pair of headphones and you will enjoy the sound on a whole different level. It was an amazing difference through my HD495 Sennheisers. The use of headphones is a must with this turntable.I give it a 4 using the mono speakers and I would give it an 8 with the use of headphones.

Feature:

The ability to be able to hook it up to your computer and burn your vinyl records on a CD. Of course you need the software to do this.I would recommend Sony EZ Audio Transfer and Restoration Software because of its ease of use. The Vestax record player will play 33/45/78's, so you are not limited. Since it is also battery powered you can play it anywhere.

Quality:

It appears to be Well made and will mosty likely last for years even with frequent use. I wish the top of the player was hinged so I could just lift it up. The current setup forces you to have to completely remove the top and set it aside somewhere. The on/off button can easily get turned on without your knowledge and run the batteries down.

Manufacturer Support:

I have not had to deal with the company. I have had no problems with the turntable so I cannot rate the support of the company in the event a problem should occur I hope there would be adequate support. It would be helpful to include a contact for replacement of the needle and belt.

Value:

There is nothing like this on the market.

The Wow Factor:

It is pretty cool to look at and I get a kick out of the looks of others when I play it. It definitely has a wow factor.

Overall:

I have looked for a product like this for several years. If anything happened to it, I would replace it immediately.
