The sound is full and strong. No hum, quiet operation.
With us a Besta cabinet (3 width) with mid-mounted 46-inch TV Uppleva.
The turntable is nice narrow so that it is placed on Besta next to the TV. The lid of the record player is still completely free to open.
The lid closes completely even when DOMICILED LP. It looks nothing over the top.
The price of about 78.00 is favorable.
I had looked at devices in small and large retailers. This costs a lot more and are no better in the execution, but rather rickety.
USB I see as a bonus, I did not use.
SUPPLEMENT 30.11.2014: I have now digitized 2 records. Turntable with MacbookPro via USB (cable is about 2m long) connected. Audacity software installed (manual on CD note). Recording, then export (here AIFF) The file I then cut by QuickTime. Then into iTunes (provided there with information + cover) and burned as AudioCD. In iTunes, you can convert it to MP3, downloading without Lame. Works really well
