    This record player is perfect in so many ways. Sound quality is excellent. Build quality is one of the best. And it looks absolutely beautiful too.

    This is a great turntable that looks and sounds Awesome! It took me a couple of months to bite the bullet and purchase one and looked at many reviews. And this one lives up to them all. Only downside is that there are RCA cable built into it, so no using your high-end RCA cables you wanted to pull out. Would recommend to anyone looking for high quality with a budget.

    Sold as a “satisfactory” open box with scratches Everywhere, no cords, visibly used. Worst purchase from Best Buy thus far. I immediately returned.
