This table was purchased last week as a backup to my beautiful but ancient fully-automatic Denon DP-47F. I quickly put a Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge on it and away we went. This is a very nice turntable. Easy, straightforward set-up. I'm using an outboard phono pre-amp but there is a built in pre-amp as well. Speed is solid and rotation silent. Arm is nicely weighted and nicely assembled. Arm lift has a good feel and is accurate. Dust cover is well made and steady up or down. I keep looking at the old Denon on the floor and am wondering about it's future. Recommended.
