had a pair of these now for about 4/5 years and they r still going strong. they are a very sturdy and powerful turntable (i think the torque is somewhere around 5-6kgs) which i think is either two or three times that of the technics turntables, which makes it a lot easier when mixing your next record. i also like the fact that you can change the tone arm from the original s shaped arm to the straight arm which is great for scratching, there is also reverse, the ajustable start and stop which is ok but not very useful, there is the adustable pitch, the quartz lock and the extra bpm setting of 75 bpm. all in all i'd have to say that this is a great product at a reasonable price
