Wow! Who knew that setting up a turntable was rocket science!

[@soundapproach1972]

I think I had the same exact thought like 3 or 4 times during this video shoot...lol

[@mireillepinzuti183]

It's not complicated to setup this kind of turntable... For m'y AT LP 120 X it's takes me 5 mn...

[@soundapproach1972]

I believe it! I thought it would take only a few minutes as well, but my ignorance got the better of me! "I'm sure the next one will go a bit more smoothly...." - Trevor before attempting a bi-amp setup

How can Sound Approach have 50 years of audiophile experience if you've never set up a turntable before???

[@soundapproach1972]

Our people with 50 years of experience are busy fixing turntables instead of making videos...unless it's one of our discussion topics, of course. Also, i haven't needed to setup a turntable before given my role in marketing, so what better way to get some hands on experience?

@@soundapproach1972 Fair enough. I didn't pick up on the 'marketing' title while watching.

Built in phono PREAMP, not phono amp. Wow and flutter much too high, and S/N ratio much too low. Speed accuracy of 1.3% is poor. Best to lift headshell off the gauge while turning the conterweight. Make adjustment and set back on guage to check. Trust the gauge, not the numbers on the counterweight.I'm amazed you don't know the mat needs to be in place. It cushions the record, and reduces resonances. You might never get the speed dots to stay perfectly still. A very slight drift is acceptable. $250 price is way high. Something this quality level, should be around $150. Agree that it looks great, and the packaging looks first rate.This indeed a beginner's turntable, but a good step above the all in one, suitcase junk. Within a year, you'll want to step up to something better, and under $500. The maker has tried to emulate the appearance of the famed and expensive Technics SL-1200 series turntable, which can cost ove $1500, and is 4 times as heavy.

i absolutely agree, i was amazed at all the stuff i didn't know as well...but i'm glad i went through the experience so that i could have a better idea of all the super simple stuff i should have known. I think I'll make the jump to Kuzma for my next one, now that i'm an expert and all...lol (definitely kidding) Thanks for the feedback @len9518!!
