After my dearly beloved Technics turntable last week suddenly departed this life after 'only' 25 years, had to quickly her replacement. The 'successor' of Technics should cost so about the 600Eu. So much I did not want to create sure. This small Karcher here was the next day with me. At first I was a little skeptical. So many promises to such a small price? Unwrapped - portrayed - plugged - running. The manual is quite well written, well its simple and unfussy, the service itself. I wanted NEN turntable and not hi-tech toys. Okay, the tone arm is made of plastic, but my fine motor skills is always enough, since not cancel or similar And of course you can fold down the lid, even if a record is running, this he has at the sides the recesses! And for keeping records of the platter is anyway not the place, but there is the cover. Radio - works. The built-in speaker provides definitely a reasonable sound quality, connected to my Sony-conditioning convinces 100%, although at first glance a little shock: it is booming! By connecting it to a large system hums it. Perhaps because he has no grounding? ??? The humming will disappear at the moment when one turns on the record. Regardless of the volume! :-) Very tentatively, I venture to convert one of my oldest records (which even my Father's house)! The play my MP3s from a USB stick had been child's play works just like hang a record. After I had canceled the write protection on the USB flash drive (giggle, blush, I Dummerle), I was able to also record by pressing the plate of the Record button, as 'time' from the turntable on cassette. Operating and thus more user-friendly, it is not really! All this, the quite good sound quality and the possibility of computer-independent without large investments in software etc to transform my records in MP3, to this favorable price also a sixth star would me still worth it!
