So far the sound is great, tracking is great, tone arm is light and responsive. Basic and effective.

I LOVE my new Monolith turntable! This was my first turntable with counter and anti-skate weights. So I definitely had to read through the instructions a few times before I fully understood the steps necessary to get it set up, but my efforts certainly paid off. Operation is simple, and from the moment the needle touched the vinyl, I knew I had made the right choice. For the price of this unit, I was astounded by the accuracy and the soundstage it was able to produce. If you're considering stepping up from a basic automatic turntable, this is an excellent upgrade. The overall quality of the unit itself combined with the amazing sound it produces for an affordable price make this record player a slam dunk. I highly recommend.

I am new into vinyl and started with a gifted record player.. it was on the cheaper side and wouldn't play all my records. When I figured out this was something I want to get into and invest in, I want a beautiful system, but can't shell out thousands right now.

My friend sent me a link to the youtuber "the Audiophiliac with Steve Guttenberg"and he reviewed this turntable as 'unbeatable for the money'... and it's true.

The turntable itself is gorgeous. I feel like I can really build a beautiful system from here and it sounds great as well. I already had Bose computer speakers, but that will be my next investment.

The quality so far is worth keeping this, and maybe someday pass it down to a child to enjoy as well, but for now, it's my pride and joy!

If you're on the fence, this is absolutely worth it... even to get started with!

Fantastic device! There was some set up required, but not too complicated. It's been great to reacquaint myself with my record collection!

Quality turntable for a reasonable price. Got me back to my vinyl.

I bought two, one for each of my kids. These turtables are an outstanding value. Setup was fast and easy with the help of a stylus tracking force scale and the included protractor. The Bluetooth pairs with everything, so far. The cartridge sounds great for entry-level. The build rivals $400-500 models found on other "high-end" sites. Thanks for the deal!

Truly amazing how Monolith can seek such a high quality audiophile turntable at such a low cost! I have another top brand turntable I paid far more money for, and the Monolith turntable is at least as high quality and performs at least as well as it!!!

The initial setup was a little more involved than I had anticipated, but it works and sounds great. No issues.

After 2+ weeks of use, I have found this turntable has improved the sound quality of what I have been using to where I am now more focused on the quality of the music, rather than the quality of the recording and playback. This brings me to a level where I believe I can be satisfied and not feel the need to keep upgrading. I am sure high-end systems can sound noticeably better, but I believe I have reached the level of diminishing returns.

would give a 5 except would prefer the next step up on the cartridge.....additional cost would be ok

Other than that excellent buy!
