Why consider this model?

  • Consider it if you want a direct-drive, 33/45/78-RPM deck with manually selected start and cueing plus a switchable platter stop, and already have or will add an appropriate phono stage.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • It has no built-in phono equalizer, no automatic arm start or return, and needs a separate stage; the 18-by-14-inch body needs working clearance and 78 RPM requires a different stylus or cartridge.
