Been looking for a good entry-level record player for a while now. That is difficult, because entry is often messy. They are Chinese running gears with built-in cabinets around them. Looks good, but you buy mediocre quality. There are also often bluetooth problems with pairing and compatibility.
At Sony this is different. They make an entry-level record player that is preset and you can't change anything. Well not really my preference, but I've had that device for a few weeks now and I'm starting to appreciate it more and more.
A beautiful design and fully automatic. Super handy and flawless. No disturbing the sound quality and no hum. Everything works wonderfully smoothly and the sound quality is astonishingly good. It has an Audio Technica ATN3600 needle in it and that is a good needle that is used in many record players. Not hi-end, but just good.
The bluetooth works flawlessly and remembers 8 devices. Once paired and then never pair again. Works flawlessly and I am surprised by the high quality. I actually only wanted to connect wired, but because the bluetooth works so well, I use that the most. On the back is a 'gain' knob with which you can adjust the volume of the preamp. Very handy and this really adds value.
Conclusion, very satisfied with this perfectly balanced device. The best loafer with the most features and a good design.
