I liked it quite a bit with a Goldring 1042 mounted - it was a bitch of a table to isolate though. The arm is a very weak point for this table. It had a really cheap feel to me and the lack of VTA adjustment was a deal-killer with my urge to try out a variety of cartridges. For the money, I think a Rega P-3 is a better table all around.
