Summary: vinyl lives !
Review: I'm not much on technical expertise, so all I can say is
that my old records sound just great on this product. I've
recently listened to records that have sat dormant for 15 or so years, and have thoroughly enjoyed the sound. Brought back
so many memories. And at the price, definitely worth it. If you have taken good care of your old LP's, they'll sound great on this turntable.

Summary: Is this the same thing that I tried 4 years ago???
Review: I'm sorry that I cannot tell if this product is
the same as a Sony turntable of some 4 years ago.
That machine had power supply hum and the thing
transmitted a terrible roar into the reproduction of sound.
Sorry also that I bought it. Took it back.

Summary: Not bad for a reasonably priced DISPOSABLE product.
Review: Like most SONY products the PS-LX250H performs well. It is also very reasonably priced.
However, like the oil in your car, turntable stylus replacement becomes necessary with time and use. Suddenly, the bargain quickly disappears. The stylus which is only available directly from SONY currently costs $55.52 plus shipping and handling. If SONY would dramatically lower the replacement stylus cost, this turntable would rate 5 stars for it's price to performance value.This model should serve well if only occaisonal, casual use is foreseen or if you don't mind paying $15,000 for an oil change.

Summary: excellent unit for the price
Review: My 30-40 year old lp's play excellently on this turntable. Some with visible scratches play without noise or skips. I have gotten excessive noise and some skipping only on 3 or 4 records out of about 60 I have played so far. Those few had scratches that looked like a knive had been dragged across the surface.
This turntable is a good buy even at a higher price I paid at another store because every [local store] within 130 miles was sold out and I didn't want to order by mail.
One salesman tried to sell me a pre-amp to go along with this turntable. It doesn't need it. It has a built-in preamp which was pre-set for connecting to AUX or VIDEO jacks, with a switch to reset if connecting to PHONO jacks.
If I were comparing to units selling for much higher prices, I'm sure it would not rate 5 stars, but I'm rating it for price and my usage, playing through a mid-grade bookshelf mini system which cost only a little more than the turntable.

Summary: Not what I hoped for
Review: My old turntable conked out on me a few months ago after years of dutiful service, so a couple of montns ago I picked up this Sony turntable. Admittedly, the sound is pretty good, but it's cheap plastic construction, even for the price. It's not adjustable AT ALL. Also, the documentation that comes with it is a joke. I know other reviewers have had better experiences with this turntable than me, and this turntable may be what you need, but think hard about what you're expectations are. It may be worth it to pay an extra hundred to get a manual turntable such as the Sony 350, instead.

Summary: An incredible bargain in a basic turntable
Review: No, you can't use this Sony turntable to beat mix 12" dance records or to perform fancy dj-ing tricks. And it certainly will not compare with any $1000 audiophile turntables in terms of audio reproduction quality. This amazingly inexpensive unit will function nicely, however, if you are seeking a basic turntable to play records. This turntable will NOT play old 78 rpm records, but it does just fine with 45's (the small "hold in the middle" kind or l2") or 33 1/3 rpm lp's. Operation is simple: all you need to do is place the record on the platter, put down the built-in dust cover, and push "start." If you wish to interrupt play, you push "stop." If you want to raise the tonearm above the record temporarily, you push "up/down." What could be simpler? Since it includes its own built-in preamp, this unit is easy to use in conjunction with a home computer. Why would someone do this? Not only can you utilize your computer's audio reproduction capabilities to listen to records as you work (or play), but hooking up a turntable to your sound card is the first step in setting up a system to convert your old vinyl records to digital files so you can burn them to cd. That's mainly how I use my PS-LX250H, and in this capacity is has performed flawlessly and magnificently. It's unfair to rate this item based upon unrealistic comparisons to far more feature-laden and expensive turntables. What's truly astonishing here is just what a fine machine Sony has made available for such a bargain price.

Summary: GREAT SOUND!
Review: Not only did I receive my turntable in just two days, but after my husband managed to get it working and get some extensions for it - my goodness - did it sound GREAT! It's very clear sounding and slim compared to our old one. It was a good choice for me to make. It was an anniversary gift for my husband for our 1st Anniversary and he was so excited since he has mountains of albums laying around and now he can listen to each and every one of them. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OFFERING THIS TURNTABLE!

Summary: Got my 45's going again
Review: Rediscovered my old Frampton, Allman Brothers and Judy Collins records again on the turntable!!! I forgot how great they sounded. What a great deal at less than (dollar value) bucks! Go back to the 70's again - it's fun.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This record player is a great price, good design, and performs exactly how it should. It is easy to set up, and allows for a great sound even with some of the oldest records. If you are looking for a turntable that is relatively inexpensive and simply plays records, then this is the one for you!
