I've been exceptionally happy with mine.
Though I had expected things would need time, as I was also breaking in a cartridge, phono preamplifier, and obviously, the tonearm wire, I was initially kind of bored with the sound. However, with some help from a few buddies in the art of ensuring my setup was spot on, and the patience of letting a few miles accrue on the odometer, I've reached the point where more than 90% of my listening is now vinyl. It's a no muss, no fuss kind of table, which is what I want, and from what most owners, including me say, it's very good sounding as well.
Going forward, the only system upgrades I'm looking towards are a VTA on the fly tonearm, phono preamplifier, cartridge, and a whole lot of LPs. My feeling is that this turntable can carry me pretty far into the future.
