Overview
Record buyers starting a hi-fi setup get a turntable that connects straight to powered speakers through its built-in preamp, or bypasses it for an external phono stage. A gimbal tonearm and Ortofon cartridge track records accurately.
Quality parts where they matter, tonearm, cartridge and platter, give clean playback without upgrades. Changing speed means moving the belt by hand.
Who it's for
First time vinyl buyers and upgraders from all-in-one players get real hi-fi components. Listeners wanting automatic arm return should look at an automatic turntable.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Tracking accuracy comes from the gimbal tonearm with its magnesium armtube, adjustable counterweight and internal anti-skate. The external belt holds motor noise away from the platter, and the acrylic platter helps hold speed steady.
