I think a lot of smart choices were made here to turn in a decent product at a low price point. Yes most of the chassis/drive construction is plastic, but it is tastefully designed, and there are some better materials where it matters i.e. the platter is aluminum and comes with a nice thick felt pad for records to rest on.

I should start by saying that I've unfortunately never heard a true high end turntable, so i can't claim to know just how good the sound quality from vinyl can really get.

Also, most of the records i'm dubbing are 40-60 years old, which means both the condition of the records and the quality with which they were originally mastered are probably impacting my impression of this unit's sound quality somewhat. That being said, I have tried one new vinyl to see how this player would do, and it's not bad.

Sound quality through the line-outs directly into powered speakers is decent, if a bit lacking in low-end frequency response, as well as general depth and quality of imaging. Once the unit is hooked to a computer via USB (or line input, for that matter), the included (or freely downloadable for the current version) Audacity software can do some pretty nice, precise EQing work. If you put in some time with Audacity, the sound can clean up pretty nicely. While the unit understandably falls shy of the sound quality i would expect out of a CD player or a high-end turntable, I'm definitely pleased with it for the price. It looks good, it's easy to use with automatic operation that works consistently and well, it delivers decent sound quality (which can be further enhanced through Audacity), and USB connectivity for $100. It also bears noting that it comes with a nice assortment of cables to facilitate not only connection to female right and left RCA's, but also to USB and a male 1/8" connector (the type found on virtually all powered/computer speaker systems). To sum up, I'd buy it again.
