Experience the nostalgic sound of vinyl with this fully automatic belt-driven turntable that supports 33-1/3 and 45 rpm record playback speeds and features a USB output for importing your favorite records' tracks to a PC.
I hooked this up to my Bose Companion 3 Series II powered speakers and it sounds pretty amazing. I just got into vinyl and didn't want to spend $500+ on "audiophile" equipment. After giving a couple of cheaper products a try (they sounded quite horrible) I picked the Sony turntable and it sounds really good. For comparison, I played the same album on my iPod (I buy 256kbps AAC files on iTunes) connected to the same Bose speakers and the Sony turntable sounds just as good. Perhaps the "audiophile" level turntables sound even better, but if it sounds atleast as good as my iPod, that's good enough for me! Don't waste your money on anything lesser though - I tried and returned 3 different products before getting this one!
What's great about it: Good price, built-in pre-amp, auto start and stop, good sound
