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.
