    Please do not buy an open box. I finally returned it and was luck enough to found same brand, excellent condition. I'm loving it.

    There's a reason that this turntable gets listed as a top entry level audiophile turntable on such a consistent basis. This thing sounds great, setup is easy and straightforward. A real quality component. One small issue is that it is rather lightweight, so when I would push the power switch, the turntable tended to slide sideways, and when I lifted the dust cover, it would slide backwards. I simply cut some small squares from a sheet of rubber shelf liner and placed them under the feet, and problem solved. Highly recommended! I am absolutely enjoying rediscovering my old and new vinyl. Buy this, you definitely won't regret it.

    My fave 'table of the Fab Four!

    First off, I have no idea why BB has not sent me a review request for this and several other purchases. I should be a VERIFIED PURCHASER but for whatever reason BB can't get it together. On to the 'table... It is a stunner in the looks department and as for ease of set up and use, it is a winner there. I also bought the Beatles '64 table but it HUMMED like a BIG FAT hummingbird. Ridiculous. Back it went and not long after this 50th Anniversary Edition of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band turntable arrived at the Best Buy Magnolia Design Center in the San Diego Mission Valley store. As I said, it is gorgeous. The sound is superb and the set up is, for whatever reason, far easier than the '64 Edition was. And nothing but music comes out of this turntable. Because this 'table is so good I may give the Beatles '64 Edition another chance and order up another one. But this 50th Edition has the '64 beat on looks alone. I like both and may still own both but this one STOMPs the '64 Edition I briefly owned (under two weeks before I gave up on curing the HUM). As always, BB and its employees are fantastic with the exception of getting out the email request for me to review my purchases. I have two new UHD-HDR Curved TVs to review and still no request from BB. I digress... I seriously doubt anyone could be disappointed with this player. It does what it should with style. I listen to music, not equipment. But I look at my equipment and this one is a keeper for the sound it reproduces flawlessly (i.e.,No HUMMING!!) and it has looks to match. Superb!

    Easy to set-up . Warm, but also very detailed. Although, not related to sound, a beautiful piece just to visualize.
