Quite a decent entry-level turntable for those who are either just getting started on collecting vinyl records, or if you're like me and just want something that you can sit back and enjoy the music without having to worry about lifting the arm up every so often, or if you don't want to bother with tinkering with some vintage equipment that may rear it's ugly head at you.
