## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds great.  My initial review was Not So Great.
*by W***R on July 7, 2017*

My initial review was 3 stars based upon setup. Since that time, I've listened to a few records, and they really sound great. Sounds way way better than my old Technics. So I changed my review from 3 to 5 stars.____________________________________________Initial Setup: (This review might change.)Four things struck me as really cheap after I first set up this turntable.First, the little mat that is put on the glass platter is not round. It is off by a bit, so when it spins, it looks off balance. You'd really expect that a $675 turntable would have a very round mat. Nothing says precision like an off balance spinning object.Second, the dust cover hinges are really flimsy. They are made of plastic. Imagine bending a piece of plastic back and forth a dozen times, and the hoping that that plastic stays strong. They look like they might last about a year at most. I do see that you can purchase hinge replacements, so I guess that hinge replacements are expected.Third, balancing the tone arm is a bit awkward. The anti skate/bias is set so high (and you can't adjust it) so that it's very difficult to follow the instructions that say to balance it over the platter. I had to go to Youtube and found some Danish or Norwegian clip that explained how to do it. It's a bit awkward, but I think I got it set up. Do I have it off by a half or quarter gram. Possibly. Probably. Who knows? Should I have to buy a scale of some type to find out? I guess so.Fourth, how do I know that it's really spinning at 33 rpm? I don't, and I just have to hope that it does. I'm a bit concerned because the little bitty rubber band that controls the speed (motor to platter drive well) is not any where near tight. That may be a good idea to prevent stretching, but if you're a true stereophile, don't you want to make sure that the record is really spinning at 33.33 rpm and not 31.45 rpm? (I'm not a true stereophile.)All in all, I'm quite underwhelmed by such a hyped-up turntable. I'm replacing an old Technics SL-1400, and with the Technics, the above 4 things were nailed down and solid. The Rega Planar 2 is just chintzy in comparison. Not sure if the tone arm is balanced, hope the bias is really correct, hope speed is correct and the dust cover hinges will probably fail. Yes, I'm sure I can buy some pretty fancy equipment that will diagnosis the balance, bias and speed, but should I have to do that?I'll listen to it shortly. Maybe I'll change my mind after that. Or maybe I'll just get the Technics fixed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get what you pay for
*by A***R on May 31, 2024*

It’s pricey, but it’s class. It looks and sounds superb. I have very little complaints … I think the main thing is that I followed the balancing instructions to the letter, and when I got my scale out, I was at only 1.5g of down force, versus the recommended 2-3g. No matter for me as I had a scale, but I think that they need to dial that in, or just recommend folks to use a scale.There is a bit of motor noise (kind of subtle clicks) when it’s just running, but only a few dB above the noise floor of the motor itself which seems reasonably low.For the good, what can I say, it’s easy to set up, looks gorgeous, sounds incredible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good, but motor noise was an issue!
*by J***S on February 13, 2024*

The build quality/feel is great, it looks "rich" and sounds very good with the stock cartridge, even better if you swap the cartridge. I ended up returning it because there was significant motor noise especially on startup. Maybe a fluke though I've read others with similar issues, some say it goes away after time but where it was brand new I expected it to be quiet.Update - ordered a 2nd one and same motor noise - it was enough that it was distracting and returned that one as well / too bad because it’s absolute eye candy and the build feel is excellent.
