Sony PSLX250H Turntable

Nice looking, works well right out of the box.
Plays LP's with surprising quality.
Unit itself is light and a little flimsy but I do not
regret selecting it. It works perfectly with my
old record albums and my new Sony surround sound system.
Great price!

Vinyl record players are no longer only for audiophiles and the technologically stubborn. There are more and more labels pressing new albums on vinyl and with companies like Sony putting out turntables like their PSLX250H everyone who loves music should be making the switch (or switch back?). The sound produced is infinitely better than a CD and certainly better than an mp3 and the experience of placing the needle on the rim of the disk and listening to an album in its entirety and in the intended order is indescribable. There are a lot of brands putting out turntables now but none of them have the trustworthy name and quality of production that Sony has. I recommend this record player HIGHLY and suggest everyone to invest in one today.

I know all of you are expecting just the typical review, but unfortunately I cannot offer that. If you're looking for a review about the quality and functionality of this product you should probably skip ahead.

So this all started after I ordered my turntable. I was in Chicago and had it shipped to Dallas. Upon arrival to my apartment I rushed straight to my apartment complex to pick up my package. Not there. I checked online and surprisingly found the location of the package to be "Front Door". Are you serious? Would someone really leave a package at my front door instead of taking it to the apartment office? The answer...yes. And of course, it was gone. Stolen. Awesome.

Now I was a bit upset. I had all these aspirations of jamming out to "Highway To Hell" with the classic analog sound, but now I'm stuck with digital media. At any rate, I had errands to run and rushed out pretty quickly. I hop in my truck and speed out of the parking garage, but as I'm leaving I nearly strike a homeless man! I slam on the breaks just in time and signal him to proceed, and he smiles and waves. I thought to myself, "What a nice homeless guy". I study him for a second and realize he is carrying something under his arm. After closer examination, I realize that HE HAS MY TURNTABLE!!! And no, of course I didn't confront him. Have you ever confronted a homeless guy before? Didn't think so.

Moral of the story: I'm not sure if I would trust Amazon for delivery, but I can't knock on this product. You should buy it.

Easy to set up, great accuracy, clean uncluttered sound, perfect for my old 60's & 70's albums.

the sound is suprisngly good but i used the preamp on my reciever instead of the one built in.
speed is abit off on this but not bad.
you will instantly tell if you like the sound of vinyl more than cd. if you do, join the club!
