I purchased this turntable as an open-box item for $59. It was already assembled and ready to go. I was not looking for another turntable at the time, just picking out some new vinyl albums for Christmas. I got it anyway, for a another present. It tested out perfectly. Good sound. The needle pops were audible on my speakers, which is what I like to hear.
Granted. this is not a studio-quality turntable with pitch adjustment or direct drive, but it will serve my needs quite nicely. I can buy lot of needles for this and still come out way ahead in the long term.

These are typical fantastic Klipsch speakers. Combined with the Klipsch center speaker and separate subwoofer, they make the finest home theater system I have ever had. Sparkling midrange and highs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this amplifier to go inside my harley fairing. It was the perfect size and its performance has been spot on. paired with a set of 6.5 in speakers, I have no problem hearing my tunes at 70 mph. It is as if this was purpose made for this application.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is the dust cover removable? I may not have room on my shelf system to lift the dust cover to gain access to the turntable, and would prefer not to have it attached.
You simply don't install the cover during the assembly phase. Problem solved

I want to set up the turntable to play with Ifi micro iDSD DAC. Can it be done?
I connected mine to a LePai LP2020A amplifier and a pair of bookshelf speakers and have had no problems whatsoever.

How does new vinyl play?
Does this model have the ability to play 180 gram vinyl that most new records are made of without skipping or dragging?
I purchased several of the "new" vinyls and have no issues. The arm is pr-ebalanced in an average setting. I would like to have a tone arm with adjustments, but not at this price break.

Additional connections needed?

If I'm purchasing these 2 items, what else needs to be purchased to connect them? A sales rep recommended these 2 but I forgot to ask if anything else needs to be purchase.

Short of speakers, you will need nothing else.

Can the needle/ stylus be changed,? if so, is there a trick? I can't get the old one out!
Yes, the needle is actually easy to change. Look at your owners manual. Flip the needle guard down, push doan and out to remove the worn needle. It is secured by a single prong.

Does this unit work with the Bose surround sound system? If so what else would I need to buy?
As long as you have RCA inputs, or can accept a 3.5 mm adapter, it should work. It is switchable from pre-amp to line level output.

Klipsch - Reference Dual 6-1/2" Floorstanding Speaker (Each) - Black
Enjoy immersive sound with this Klipsch Reference R-26F floorstanding speaker that features dual 6-1/2" copper-spun IMG woofers and a 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression LTS (linear travel suspension) tweeter to deliver cross-spectrum audio.
What type of wire should I purchase to run these R26-F speakers. I have a 30 year old Yamaha amp that I will connect to. Do I need anything else?
Almost any brand of home audio wire will work; i.e., Rocketfish, etc. make sure your wire size is at least 14 gauge to get the best sound out of these speakers. This is one area you don't want to cut corners. Don't let a salesman try and sell you the "best " either; 12 gauge and larger is overkill and a waste of money unless you are really running a big amp.

Here's a center channel speaker that will reproduce the full, dynamic sound of HD sound sources. The Yamaha NS-C210BL Dual 3-1/8-Inch 120-Watt 2-Way Center Channel Speaker gives you everything you need to fully enjoy movies and music. It has a slim design that matches today's flat panel TVs, light aluminum woofers for extra-fast response, a wide frequency response from 65 Hz to 45 kHz, and is covered in the elegant Yamaha Piano Black finish.
Does the Yamaha NS-C210BL center-channel speaker need additional speakers, or can it work on its own?
All center channel speakers are designed to part of a multi-speaker system. As a standalone, it will offer volume, but no stereo separation and minimal bass response.
