They are most definitely alloy, but I agree with you they skimped on some of the parts. The parts skimped on are the ones most immediately replaced by anyone who rides more than a few miles a day. Those alloy spindles won't hold up to poo poo.




Got this turntable to go with the TV as they are both high resolution audio compatible. I also liked the built in Phono EQ for line out functionality.

There've been a few mixed reviews about the analog sound, but everyone is agreeing the ADC is pretty drat great.

I have no idea why you'd accept 'mixed reviews' on the analogue sound when you could have gone for a Maratnz for equivalent or less money and had a solid table with excellent analogue output. It's a turntable, ffs. Analogue sound is the POINT.

By "mixed" I mean the ones I've seen have been akin to "It's not as good as my $2,000 table's sound, but it's still good."

I'm not justifying the price, because I have no experience with it. But saying it's no better than a $150 table is a bit of a reach too.

Everything I've read made it pretty clear the turntable was entry level for "audiophile" equipment. :shrug:

I don't have the time to spend researching which particular components give the highest resolution erections to audiophiles. Do you do this for a living, or simply spend hours in your mother's basement drooling over "ideal" configurations you can't afford?

I have lived in the bay area for a long time and have not heard anyone say "west bay". Oakland is "east bay". But I'm not up on what "the gangs" say, as you apparently are.

Oh lord, really? In correlation to said east bay there is a zone across formentioned bay referred to as the west bay due to it being geographically west of the center of said bay. It is also known as the peninsula due to jutting out of the South Bay region but separated from north bay by the only straight of water from the ocean into the bay.

Glad to of helped! Now go get a real car like that and drive it through hunters point!

You should it's pretty good, though I think it could use more ginger. But then again I like a really gingery ginger ale.

Have you had Blenheim spicy? To me it's the pinnacle of ginger ale. So good. (non alcoholic though)

The ginger ale booze is like ten times sweeter then it needs to be. Like, I understand it is booze for kids, but come the gently caress on.

Still cranky that I cant buy 4 Loco but this poo poo and like candy flavored vodka is still aok.

They had to remove the caffeine and stop marketing it as an alcoholic energy drink. Which was the only reason anyone cared about 4Loko.
