Advantages: Build Quality, Value for Money
Disadvantages: None So Far (after a year)

The Kam DDX 1200DJ turntable is a very good value for money piece of kit. Very robust and very good sound quality, easy to mix on and ready for battling right out of the box. People say Technics SL 1200s are the business and indeed they are but until the ... Read review

Advantages: Quality product that brings LP's back to life!
Disadvantages: platter issues?(on mine at least)

Had my Rega RP1 for a few months now....as usual sound quality and build are good from Rega,but my only issue is that the platter on my Rega does not run true...the platter wobbles quite a bit when playing 45''s or 33''s...the deck itself is lovely..the s ... Read review

Advantages: Strong Build, Longlasting, Reliable, DJs Choice!
Disadvantages: Heavy weighing in at 15KG per deck.

Advantages: Good sound; compact; USB output
Disadvantages: Needs computer to create digitised versions (MP3 etc)

The motivation for buying the ION iTTUSB05 was to convert some of my vinyl record collection to MP3 format so that I could listen to them on my iPod and in the car. This I achieved, but more on that later. The ION iTTUSB05 is solidly ... Read review

Advantages: Built in preamp for non-phono systems. Small footprint. Semi-auto operation handy for digitizing.
Disadvantages: Not full size turntable. Tracking weight fixed.

I was looking for a table to play my LP's and singles and at the time my amp did not have a phono input so this seemed an ideal solution. I didn't expect a great deal from the sound but was very pleasantly surprised at it's performance. Probably the be ... Read review

A Handy Little Machine
by finvin

Advantages: Completely outperforms any possible expectations of equipment in this price range
Disadvantages: A little fiddly to setup and use

The debut name fits this wonderful piece of equipment perfectly in two senses really. On the first count its price clearly aims this at the lower end of the vinyl hi-fi separates market making it the likely choice for many as their first venture into the ... Read review

Advantages: USB & Stereo jacks, Good sound reproduction, easy to use
Disadvantages: Bit cheaply made, sensitive to minor knocks and vibrations

Hi there guys and girls. I had this bought for me last christmas as a present and I didn't really know what to think honestly. I had not asked for it and to be truthful, wasn't really sure what I was gonna do with it. I am a music producer in my very sp ... Read review

Advantages: Very good value for money
Disadvantages: Maximum volume too low, power cable too short.

Although this was the cheapest record player of a reputable name which I could find, I have been pleasantly surprised by the performance and ease of use of the player. The speakers are clear and the sound is of an acceptable quality - not brilliant but ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use once everything is sorted out. Recordings of the vinyl tracks are good quality.
Disadvantages: Software seems to have a few flaws. Music amplifies from the arm itself so can be intefering

Not having a turntable of my own, I looked around for ages before deciding to buy this one in December of 2010. I decided to buy it as it seemed relatively easy to use and the fact you can pull the tracks and import them into iTunes seemed really appealin ... Read review

Advantages: Great software FREE
Disadvantages: Plastic, few features, pointless anti-skate

Scratching Lyrical – A pain in the tone arm >> QUALITY <<: This turntable casing is made entirely of plastic, bar the tone arm. Which is metal. The platter is obviously metal (as all are) but all this plastic is used to save weight. I per ... Read review

I'm sure that many manufacturers put on these modes for an extra selling feature to note, but why bother if the daft things won't work anyway! Anyhow, smashing review yet again Martin :D x by Deesrev

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Not the best sound quality - belt driven too.

>> QUALITY <<: First of all, why I gave it two stars: There is an anti skate function on this deck, which is supposed to aid the needle towards the centre of the platter – and on this deck, it just does simply nothing at all. Completely pointless. ... Read review

Right here we have the Vestax pdx-200,what many believe to be the main rival of the Technics 1210's,so how does it fair up?.The price You would probably be looking at £350 for a single turntable,so it is cheaper then the 1210 but how does it compare? Goin ... Read review
