The best turntables (Vinyl Players) on the market
The history of the turntable begins in the early 20th century.

Outstanding Evaluation
"I bought it for home use in silver and I have had it for about 7 months. Easy assembly, sturdy construction, beautiful professional appearance. With an external power supply, direct drive and brake, RCA cables that can of course be purchased better if desired, as well as a phono preamp. I had an external phono preamp unit from Project in the past, I did tests and preferred the external one as the sound was better."
Although there is grounding on the RCA cable, I couldn't make it noise-free (at somewhat higher volumes..) resulting in a buzzing sound when no music is playing. I would also like the needle to return to its initial position when the record finishes. Of course, I knew this before the purchase but in the end, I would have wanted it. Something that may bother some people (including me) is that when you lift the needle with the tonearm, it rises somewhat "loosely", it moves away from the point where you had raised it... The sound is very good and of course, if someone wants, they can play with other needles. I haven't tried the USB yet."

Review that stood out
"I didn't have a turntable in the past nor am I an expert, but this one has left me more than satisfied! It plays records very nicely (okay, the sound could definitely be better but personally, I think it's fine), it has a radio, USB port, it even plays CDs and cassettes!!! So we have a device that utilizes all of our old collections. Also, with its vintage appearance, it adds a different touch to the space. Another plus is that the volume goes very high without distorting the sound too much, especially on the radio. I consider it a very good purchase for someone who is an "amateur" in this field since the main element is that it has built-in speakers."

Outstanding Rating
"Very good quality/price ratio. Good sound, everything is fine. The blue color is very beautiful and the material feels great to the touch. The only problem I had was that the box did not include cables or a user manual, but I contacted the store where I bought it and they sent me a power cable and a manual - as well as the Audacity software for copying music from the turntable to my computer."
