Could not assemble itNovember 23, 2008 I opened the box and began to read the directions. They were no help at all. I continued to try but I could not get the belt assembled and therefore was unable to try it out. I never learned whether it worked well or not. I got so frustrated that I boxed it back up and called for authorization to return it. The directions should have been more specific and/or the turntable should have been shipped ready to use.
SONY Turntable PS-LX250HNovember 23, 2008 I am very satisfied with the purchase and use of this turntable. As a matter of fact, I had ordered two of them (one by mistake). AMAZON handled the return and refund of one of them, very expeditiously and professionally, and I thank them for that.
The turntable, I have installed into my sound recording system, and use it expressly for transferring LPs and 45s to tape and CD. I am very pleased with it's simplicity and reliability and would suggest it to anyone requiring that type of use. Thank You
Great turntable for the moneyNovember 22, 2008 We are very satisfied with this turntable. It was very easy to connect and the operation and sound quality are excellent.
Bad distortion and rumbleNovember 9, 2008 I bought this turntable to replace an old but excellent Connoisseur turntable I was using to transfer LPs to audio disc. The Connoisseur required a new belt at $60 so I thought I would buy the Sony.
I immediately notice a major problem - significant rumble. Annoying, but I could deal with this by applying a low frequency cut-off filter.
Many transcriptions had noticeable distortion on loud passages but I put this down to a problem with the LPs. Then I re-transcribed two LPs I had previously recorded with the Connoisseur. These recordings now had significant and highly annoying distortion in loud passages. It probably wouldn't be noticeable with pop music but with loud legato passages in classical music, e.g., choruses or organ pieces, it is terrible. This is not overload as I was careful not to have line-in at too high a volume.
Conclusion: this turntable has a cheap and nasty cartridge and/or pre-amplifier. I'm junking the Sony and going back to the Connoisseur.
Can't recommendNovember 5, 2008 I can't recommend this turntable. Its cheap junk. I've had it for a few years, but I've never used it much at all. Its spent 90% of that time in the box. In the last month I started listening to more vinyl though, buying a few jazz LPs off ebay. Now when I move the needle to the playing position it wants to retract and stop. I can get it to work, but then it will start doing it again. I opened it up to try to figure out what was going on with it. I can see what's causing the behavior but I don't really know what happened to make it do what its doing. Its like there is something missing. I got annoyed looking at the stupid, cheap design of the thing and just resolved to buy a new one (not Sony) with direct drive that will hopefully last.
