- SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY
We use a power supply that transforms the AC alternating voltage of your wall socket into a pure DC voltage. We then regenerate the DC voltage into a precise AC voltage that powers a precision clock motor to achieve nearly perfect speed consistency and smoothness. - QUALITY MATERIAL
The plinth is solid MDF, not the particle board or plastic typically found at this price, and is CNC machined for precision. - HINGE DUSTCOVER
The dustcover is heavier than most and made from a non-resonant Perspex with a counter-sprung hinge design that allows the cover to remain in almost any intermediate position from open to closed.

ROCKON –
I bought my first album in 1974 (Aerosmith, get your wings) and have a rather large collection of vinyl (700+). I wanted a turntable that would produce the best sound so I chose belt drive over automatic and I have no regrets. You will probably have to adjust the weight of the tone arm to fit your needs but once adjusted you should be good to go. A bit pricey but with Bidenflation but I was willing to pay.
No automatic return so you need to pay attention when side is finished (damage preventive maintenance).

This is an awesome turntable, intended for a true audiophile like me. You have to place the stylus in the starting grooves and pick it up at the end. The automatic ones do not always start correctly, not all record pressings are the same. Setting the tracking force is a little bit of a chore because there are no markings on the tone arm to show how much you have moved the counterweight. Other than that, the assembly and startup was very easy. Seems to be very well designed and engineered and produces outstanding music. I couldn’t be happier with it.
