Buyer Warning. - Turntable

I bought this shell because I wanted my SME tonearm to look the same so I can fit a cheap replacement car if my vinyl isn't in the best condition.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!

  • Only available in black

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Not that I doubt they MIGHT have quality control issues, but

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
