Review on Andover Audio Spindeck Plug-and-Play Turntable: Exquisite Sound Experience with Ortofon OM Cartridge (Black) by Erik Peterson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A good entry-level table if it works properly.

That was my first turntable. I ended up returning it due to a defect and upgraded to Fluance RT85. The cartridge sat at an odd angle and rubbed against my records behind the needle. Too bad because I really enjoyed it. Easy to set up. Good sound for the price. The satik was a big problem and there was more crackling and popping in the background than I would have liked, but who knows if it was a bad cartridge or not. I also bought an Andover Spinbase speaker which I've kept and I love it. After diving into the hobby and doing some research I think there are better tables in the same price range. But if you buy it in good condition it will be a good entry-level turntable for those who are serious about vinyl.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Big and chunky
