Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

A great turntable with an unusual design, luxurious sound, expensive looks and thoughtful construction. Up to 20-25 thousand, there is simply nothing to compare it with, it has no competitors. Has pros: In order (and not in order of importance): the first thing that catches your eye when reviewing on the internet is a great design, a combination of black and gold colors; when buying live - a device with a luxurious leather cover is taken out of the package - very original and unusual…

Excellent product, the best quality.

I bought in an online store for 15500 I wanted denon 300, rega, project. I really like listening with: onkio 8050 receiver, wharfedale daimond speakers, I don’t see any alternatives in terms of price and sound. Its pros: beautiful, spring-loaded legs, original top cover, a good built-in phono stage that can be turned off, output jacks and not built-in wires semi-automatic excellent sound. Illumination of the needle in the dark is very convenient. With its cons: after playing the record, it…

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Bought quite by accident, did not even know about the presence of this turntable. I played all genres for testing: from classics to pop. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of reproduction even of the old Melodiya records (including the production of the Tashkent factory, which was considered the worst in terms of the quality of the produced vinyl). Of course, you need to connect to a decent source with the appropriate speakers - and fun is guaranteed! I recommend without any doubt.

Pros
  • "Classic" design, in the spirit of the peak of the "vinyl era", but with modern "highlights" - needle illumination and "frequency display"; Solid removable cover; Damped, self-adjusting support legs along with a decent dead weight; The ability to connect your cables to the RCA outputs (for me personally, this turned out to be the main reason for choosing); A good cartridge / needle, which over time can be replaced with more expensive ones; Surprisingly good built-in phono stage; The ability to digitize in lossless at 96 and 192 kHz (for those who are "in the know")
Cons
  • I do not consider this a big drawback, but someone, I admit, may not like the lack of hitchhiking / tonearm return.

I can't say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

These turntables are made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer for Imation, which, in turn, bought the TDK brand a few years ago. This product has no direct relation to the well-known brand of audio and video cassettes; it also has no experience and history of the production of turntables. But the first pancake did not turn out lumpy! A normal budget entry-level player (no need for high expectations!). Beautiful. Oh, if only it could be bought for $99.00 like in the USA during the promotion!

Pros
  • Interesting design - looks unusual, elegant and expensive! A solid lid made of artificial leather, an elegantly designed belt drive, all sorts of light bulbs - beauty. The table is excellent, heavy and with good damping, it does not collect all the vibrations, so you can stomp and jump around as you like. There is a built-in phono stage, for the first time you can listen to records without bothering with buying an external one. Important - you can digitize vinyl records yourself!
Cons
  • Mediocre tonearm, no height adjustment, I would like to be able to easily remove the shell. The native head is mediocre, it is better to immediately change, for example, to Audio-Technica AT95E or Goldring Elektra or something else. The use of even an inexpensive external phono stage significantly improves the situation (it's good that the internal one can be switched off).

There are a few bugs, basically the norm.

Here, the beautiful side by side with the terrible and there are absolutely stupid and thoughtless decisions. It is immediately noticeable that the manufacturer has no experience in creating turntables. An excellent system of automation and stabilization of rotation and then a simple motor. The build quality is C grade, you can see the handicraft from the inside. Hitchhiking sensors on the snot, although it could be put on the bolts. The device looks solidly from the outside and metal was not…

Pros
  • Appearance is the first thing you pay attention to. There is a phono stage, a digital usb output, optical speed stabilization, a simple hitchhiking, anti-skating, tonearm illumination. Keeps speed. Autostop operation adjustment
Cons
  • Stupid design, when the microlift is raised, the tonearm does not fit into the holder - you need to lower the microlift and, after changing the plate, remove it from the holder and raise the microlift. Absolutely stupid, I've never seen anything like it. The backlight in the shell could be done as in technics - retractable. A head that is too light will not fit, the pressure adjustment range is narrow. There is no headphone output, since a phono stage has been built in. Hitchhiking does not raise the micro-elevator.
