It has a high-gloss cherry-wood veneered finish, a nicely engineered S-shaped tonearm which has a removable headshell, and a high-quality hinged Perspex dustcover. It even has a high-quality heavy-duty rubber platter mat in place of the flimsy felt ones usually supplied at this end of the market.
Not one disappointment build quality is very good set up time was literally 5 minutes it has a beautiful appearance and sound quality is on par with everything else in the same price range. I personally replaced the starter cartridge provided with the LP Vessel cartridge and this combination is a winner! To get significantly better sound I believe you would have to step up over a thousand dollars. Definitely worth an audition if your shopping around.
