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!

Summary: Just what we needed
Review: This turntable is exactly what we were looking for. After buying a Sony mini-bookshelf system, we asked the salesman at the well-known electronics super store to recommend a turntable that we could hook up to it. He advised us that we could not attach a turntable. He almost talked us into buying a very expensive shelf system just so we could play our old LP's. I'm so glad that I did a little research and came accross this Sony turntable. The reviews from others who have purchased it helped me tremendously. It was simple to hook up and our old records sound great! We can finally play the music we haven't played in years, and are still hoping to figure out how to hook it up to our computer and burn our favorites to CD's.

Summary: Amazing quality at an affordable price!
Review: This turntable more than exceeded my expectations...I was astonished at the beauty and sleekness of design. When I first received the item I wanted to try it out and rather than go through connecting and disconnecting everything in the entertainment center I hooked it up to my teenage daughter's cheap bedroom stereo. Even hooked up to that simple stereo the sound emanating from her speakers were nothing short of amazing. The diamond stylus makes a real difference. Even records that were in less than perfect condition played beautifully. I am definitely impressed. Thanks Sony!

Summary: Great Price and Sound; The One To Get For Most People!
Review: This turntable works easily, sounds great, and is offered at a great price. You can spend more and get a better cartridge and more features, but for someone who wants a very good basic turntable in addition to a CD player and other decoding devices, this one is fantastic. I recommend vinyl as an adjunct to CDs for several reasons, among them: 1. You may already have a collection you haven't listened to for years. (You'll remember how holding the album, looking at the cover, and reading the liner notes were once part of the entire aesthetic experience.) 2. Vinyl does sound warmer than traditional CDs. (Joni Mitchell's "Blue" is unbelievably raw and "present" on vinyl.) 3. It's easy to build a new collection, especially classical records, by hunting down inexpensive LPs at library and garage sales. Unlike some record players sold now, the turnplayer does not play 78's. However, many of those that do play this format have self-contained speakers only. This model has a preamp which connects to PHONO, AUX, or VIDEO jacks. The needle weight is not given in the information booklet; generally speaking, the more expensive, lighter needles better preserve sound quality. Although not a "high-end" model for the strict audiophile, here are the SPECS: Drive: Belt
Motor: DC
Platter: 295 mm. diameter (aluminum, die-cast)
Speeds: 33 1/2 and 45 r/min
Wow and Flutter: Less than 0.25% (WRMS)
Signal to Noise: More than 50dB (DIN-B) Tone arm: Dynamic balanced straight shaped with soft damping control
Effective arm length: 195 mm Power consumption: 2 Q
Weight: 2.7 kg
Dimensions: Approx. 420 x 100 x 342 (w/h/d) Supplied Accessories: 45 r/min adaptor, platter with drive belt, rubber mat, dust cover. The needle raises, lowers, and moves to the edge of the album automatically; the dust cover is moved by hand. Very highly recommended!

Summary: A well perfoming, dependable turntable
Review: Turntables are hard to come by nowadays, let alone one an average person can afford. That is what makes this Sony so special. Not only is it priced right but it gives great performance. I've had it for two months now and have used it constantly. It sound great and there have been no problems at all. Hats of to Sony and the PS-LX250H!

Summary: Scraping Bottom
Review: While this turntable will play your records, the audio quality leaves a lot to be desired. To me it sounded like it was being played underwater and this was through my venerable stereo system that sounded great with my old turntable (which finally ground to a halt). Granted, this is about the most inexpensive turntable available and you get what you pay for.
Also, if you are looking for the option of switching in a better cartridge, this is not the turntable for you. It was difficult to determine that from the sketchy information available for this product. If you are shopping for an inexpensive turntable, you are better off to pay a little more and get the Technics (Panasonic) SL-BD20D which does have a P-mount on the tone arm, and though I admit I haven't actually auditioned that product, must sound better than this "bag over the head" piece of plastic.
