    So tempting! its a great price

    might be a pricing error. It is now showing as $329 and states that price is 23% off.

    • scyth3r on 03/10/2014 - 13:27

      when putting in the checkout the 10% is taken off and the price comes down to $296.10

    My 2 cents - the belt design in these newer cheaper 'essential' models is flawed. As the belt is exposed and a very thin, square profile rubber belt, it easy to disturb meaning the band can roll off the platter when changing vinyl. Trying to refit the belt takes a bit work, there's a real trick to it. The Debut3 is a better model at around $100 more (although not in production anymore, replaced by the carbon model)

    Dont mean to diss deal but if your spending $300 on a turntable save another hundred and get the debut carbon, better tonearm and om10 cartridge is a good all rounder… The om5 will make you want to upgrade straight away… And with the debut carbon always being about $400 (i picked mine up on record store day for $370) its a no brainer in my books
