Hey man. I like it a lot. It came stock with the Ortofon cartridge, which costs as much as the rest of the turntable...
Performance for the past 3 years has been solid. Its got an acrylic platter that I love.
The motor is super strong and allows for a heavy weight to be added to the top of the record.
There are some limitations with the arm. It can't be modified like some other turntables, but I havent felt any need to change it anyway.
This is the weight I got from Fluance. Heavy sonuvabitch. 
Need one of those. I have quite a few older records with some storage warp that would strighten right up with that on top!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback! I have considered grabbing one for YEARS and keep wavering on it. I think they are definitely an exceptional value for what they are – like you said, just the price of the stylus pretty much covers the entire turntable. I'm currently running with a Audio-Technica VM540ML, but the Ortofon Blue was a strong runner up. I'd love to compare them side-by-side one day.
Enjoy the music! 🎶
Tune in if you want. 4pm. I think the Ortofon blue is overpriced but I do like it. 👍
