Summary: A bargain!
Review: However, I didn't realize that the tone arm wouldn't move, and the turntable wouldn't turn off when the side of a record stopped playing. Also, the tone arm stays up only while I'm touching the cue lever. I was so concerned with price that I'd forgotten what manual meant! This turntable came with a felt mat, rather than a rubber one. Therefore, I'd put the mat from my old turntable under the new mat. The ground wire and patch cords plug into both my mixer and my turntable because they're not built into my turntable. At least, I can play records again.

Summary: Slow start
Review: I haven't had this product for long, but so far, not so good. Despite the fact that my record player is on a flat surface, setting up the arm balance (anti-skating) as described in the manual simply did not work. I had to improvise, in part because the manual does not even say what the approriate weight is for the needle that comes with the record player. I tried leaving a message with Gemimi customer service, and they did not even bother to call me back! In any event, with my improv the needle now stays straight, although because the calibration is off I'm worried it may be applying too much weight to my records and needle. The machine has no extra features, but the price may be right for those like me who still occasionally enjoy busting out the old vinyls. But it is certainly bare bones; you need to manually start and return the needle (it does not lift itself). One small detail I like is the speed control, which can be calibrated, in conjunction with a pulsing red light, to insure that you have the record speed just right. This machine certainly is not appropriate for spinning and such.
