Platinum ordered and received last week. Fast shipping from Amazon, precise and respectful of the advertised time. Additional packaging with internal paper balls, which contains and protects therefore once again the original packaging manufacturer who already has himself a good general strength. Risk receive the item damaged almost near the 0 ... !! Concerns the plate, it is a question of a manufactured article and therefore imported from Germany (and yes .... it exists ...) Technics copy of which has now risen to the history and the Audio-Technica today resumed the torch Technics for newer models in circulation. After a week of using the feeling is very good: the structure is primarily plastic but very thick material and very good quality; dish of solid aluminum and good weight stability (usually it is anyway near the weight and structure of the Audio-Technica but the price difference is there too). Quite fast and easy installation for those who have some familiarity with this kind of machines. Anyway the instructions booklet in different languages is there to support the novices. Good finishing and good overall performance speed of startup and shutdown. Cell already provided and installed at the head on the arm that goes to S. It is a question of an Audio-Technica intermediate quality but plays his role very correct if you are free time vinyls headphones to the home. Although platinum is indicated as a professional, I do not really think it's the first choice of a DJ for his frenzied performance (DJ that already today they use ordis or CD decks .....) . I believe that this definition is rather due to the design and functions present on the device that actually are the same as professional turntables. Software for digitizing vinyl provided (note for the import of Germany, the version that is out of my package is the German version) + USB connection cable and RCA cable connection to the amplifier (for those who prefer this solution of use to the pre-amplified). These are low quality, advisable to replace them with higher quality cables to get the best sound system. Until now very satisfied with the product, especially compared to the price paid and the Amazon procedures, always perfect. We will see how and to distance. Anyway purchase of German in the HI-FI sector is not so common today: one more reason to make Dual DTJ 301 the deck that will revive your vinyl. Good listening ... !!
