This is an excellent entry level turntable. Very simple to set up and is almost ready to go straight out of the box. I started looking for one when my TEAC TN-300 went out. They are very similar except the TN-300 wasn't grounded so it would buzz. This table is grounded and has a very clear sound. The factory cartridge provided is great and seems to be balanced already. The reason I ordered the base model T2 and not the super or wifi capable is because my amp (Arcam FMJ A49) has phono mode built into so no need for a preamp. This turntable is an excellent bang for your buck and if you're willing to spend $500-$600 for a table this is a great investment. I've had mine for 5 months now and am very impressed by it!

High quality construction. Sound quality is superb. Excellent isolation. Set up is easy.
