Excellent Record Player
on July 28, 2010
Posted by: roelof
Excellent value considering all of the outputs and the preamp and also the ability to plug into computer. People complain that you can't listen to the music while uploading to your computer, making it difficult to know when to flip the vinyl. However, that's wrong. All you have to do is look at the stylus and when it comes onto the slick surface you flip the record(not that hard -_-). Warning: don't buy this if you want to learn to spin records and do scratches and stuff, it's nearly impossible to spin without touching the vinyl itself.
What's great about it: fully automatic(you only have to flip the vinyl), easy to operate, quick setup
What's not so great: can't do scratches, poorly written instructions(luckily I have a knack for assembling stuff)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Brings back the memories

Was nice to blow the dust off the old LP's and listen to the way music is supposed to be heard. Works to perfection, was easy to set up, and mine did not skip a beat while walking by it, and i have hardwood floors.

Not All Install Guides Are Created Equal
on October 17, 2009
Posted by: Anonymous
I spent hours trying to get the audio to play through the computer speakers. It all boiled down to incorrect information in the "install guide" of all things. The default playblack device on the software has the incorrect setting listed for the audio tab. I'll never get those 5 hours back....
What's great about it: Too early to tell
What's not so great: Set up is too hard

Best I have ever had

I am in my mid thirties and have had everything from a vintage magnavox to a Rega. this turntable is so dependable, stylish, and well made that I can say it is the best turntable I have ever had. The sound is excellent and it really brings record listening into the 21st century.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to pair with a Bose Revolve+ Bluetooth speaker. It pairs fine, but the Bose speaker volume controls are disabled when connected to this turntable. Other people posting on the Bose site are saying the same thing. So far No solution from Bose or Sony. Nice little turntable unless you’re planning to use it with Revolve+

I bought it for the Bluetooth feature and because it had mainly positive reviews. However, I find it to be too light with too much plastic (especially the tone arm) making it very easy for skips to happen. The stylus doesn't seem like it will last very long either (I've already ordered a replacement). Also, my entire deck looks like a bad paint job with little bumps everywhere. I'm not sure if this was by design but it looks sloppy. Definitely feels like a much cheaper turntable than I had expected.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Idea/Dumb Execution
on January 29, 2010
Posted by: Indybob
I've only had this thing two weeks...and it's been frustrating. Whoever designed the software should be fired for incompetence. Why would you design a product that records vinyl to hard drive without giving one the ability to listen while recording? A Sony 'help' person told me it wasn't designed to do that! So, you have to guess when to flip over the record or pause between tracks or only record certain tracks. And you have to pause between tracks because the software doesn't recognize the space between cuts; it will only read as a continuous recording. Now, if you do the 'guessing' thing, it will record and do a nice job of cleaning up your vinyl without destroying the richness of an album sound. But man, why would Sony put out a product with this serious glitch? I expected a lot more from Sony. This is stupid.
What's great about it: It will record
What's not so great: You can't hear it while it's recording!
