I will not be buying from massdrop again... This turntable is an absolute waste of money and I bought 2 of them... They will not let me cancel my order only hrs after drop ended essentially telling me I'm stuck with them... I wish I had seen this review before I placed an order...
...... It shows clearly how much rubbish this drop is... I valued the massdrop community as providing quality items not cheap rip offs... Teac allows for a +-2% speed in the motor... This makes all music from this turntable garbage... Save your money and don't make the same mistake I made....
Chall4055Do you hear an audible change in the speed of the able as you play records? Is the +-2% number something you read in the table literature? Many of these tables have are adjustable by something like +-2%, not that they play that way.
That aside, this is a bare bottom budget table and you really can't expect it to be anything but that. A good quality table new will start at $800 and anything you're going to really want will be more like $1500 and more. The Clearaudio table at $1500 is a good choice, and you can find them on EBay for something like $1200 or so.
But a $300 or less table really doesn't bear any real criticism for being cheap, because that's what you should expect at that price point. You don't get somethin' for nothin'.
Chall4055I feel like this is bullshit and you haven't even actually tried to work with support yet. I've been able to receive dedicated support and refund for more expensive products.
Chall4055When it comes to audio equip, one must do really good "homework" before actually buying anything, or it ends like this, unfortunately.
Otherwise hands down, I suggest getting ATH. Their LP5 is actually excellent for that money.
