Night of the living homeless October 6, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I know all of you are expecting just the typical review, but unfortunately I cannot offer that. If you're looking for a review about the quality and functionality of this product you should probably skip ahead.
So this all started after I ordered my turntable. I was in Chicago and had it shipped to Dallas. Upon arrival to my apartment I rushed straight to my apartment complex to pick up my package. Not there. I checked online and surprisingly found the location of the package to be "Front Door". Are you serious? Would someone really leave a package at my front door instead of taking it to the apartment office? The answer...yes. And of course, it was gone. Stolen. Awesome.
Now I was a bit upset. I had all these aspirations of jamming out to "Highway To Hell" with the classic analog sound, but now I'm stuck with digital media. At any rate, I had errands to run and rushed out pretty quickly. I hop in my truck and speed out of the parking garage, but as I'm leaving I nearly strike a homeless man! I slam on the breaks just in time and signal him to proceed, and he smiles and waves. I thought to myself, "What a nice homeless guy". I study him for a second and realize he is carrying something under his arm. After closer examination, I realize that HE HAS MY TURNTABLE!!! And no, of course I didn't confront him. Have you ever confronted a homeless guy before? Didn't think so.
Moral of the story: I'm not sure if I would trust Amazon for delivery, but I can't knock on this product. You should buy it.
Turntable July 31, 2008
Easy to set up, great accuracy, clean uncluttered sound, perfect for my old 60's & 70's albums.
the turntable that got me into vinyl! July 3, 2008
the sound is suprisngly good but i used the preamp on my reciever instead of the one built in.
speed is abit off on this but not bad.
you will instantly tell if you like the sound of vinyl more than cd. if you do, join the club!
 Great Value For The Price June 22, 2008
I started buying records a few years ago to hang up on the wall but recently decided that I wanted to start listening to them. A friend had this record player at his house and I really enjoyed it and wanted one of my own. For being a Sony product, this is definitely a great price. The records sound great and this machine is simple to set up and use. I did my fair share of shopping around for this specific record player and Amazon was the only place that I found it at this price.
TIP: This record player has the stereo (red/white) output cables built in, coming out of the back. Since I don't have an up to date stereo system that has a receiver with the stereo (red/white) input, I bought a stereo to 1/8th (headphone jack) cable. This allows me to connect the record player into this cable and from that plug it into my speakers that have a headphone jack (1/8th) input. This lets me listen to the record player through my speakers without having the required stereo (red/white) input anywhere.
Maybe some of you know this already, but I thought this might help.
great player - some knowledge needed for speed tweaks... May 28, 2008

I got this record player from a friend who wasn't using it any longer. It's a great player, and the built-in pre-amp is great. My player, however, was playing slowly, so I got a new belt, and it was still slow. I went to a local record shop and he said it could cost me as much as the player for him to figure out what was wrong and fix it. He then said it was probably a slippery slope and it will just break more even if I did fix it. I called Sony, and they said they knew nothing about how to fix it, but I could pay to ship it to them in Texas and then pay $51 for a refurbished replacement.
As it turns out, nothing was wrong with it at all - it just needed a speed adjustment, which I found was right on the motor itself. There are 2 rubber slots that say 33 and 45 that can be accessed from the bottom of the player. After doing an online search for a "printable strobe" (a device that has lines or circles, that under a fluorescent light [it won't work under normal lights] will appear to be still while the player is moving), I was able to use a VERY small flathead screwdriver (like, for fixing computers or eyeglasses), which inserts right into the black rubber slots on the motor, and tweak the speed with VERY slight adjustments. It now plays wonderfully and at the correct speeds.
The player itself is extremely easy to use - and while not quite an audiophile player, it will get the job done for those of us that wanna hear the hiss and pop of our old records for nostalgia sake.
