Not good for heavy vinyl

30g vinyl and up does not work with this player

Good All rounder

Very simple to set up and use. The ability to create MP3 files is a big plus.

sleek look

does not include the needle to play 78's

Simple way to adjust needle skipping.

Its nice for entry level, but disappointed that there is no weight or skipping control for the needle. I fix it by tying a tiny zip tie around the tonearm then slide the tie along for making the proper needle weight.

Super simple

Just plug it in and go. The RCA audio outputs don't need a pre-amp so don't plug into PHONO on your receiver/amplifier. Use the AUX or even TAPE IN. The USB, of course just plugs into your computer.The free software to shuttle music works but is very basic.

A good purchase

The ION Classic is a good entry level turnable. A good purchase.
