Before using the turntable I looked at it and played with it. The fit and finish is pretty good, the paintwork is superior to most imported models and the controls have a nice chrome-like satin finish. The handling feel is very smooth and not gritty as some reviews say. I did not check for accuracy or runout. My 2 criticisms are that the stops on the divider accessory are cast aluminum and may not maintain accuracy under heavy use, and the manual does not detail how to install the divider accessory. I could make new stops out of steel in the future if necessary. However, I think it's a very good value.
