Great product. Looks great and plays great. Only downside is if you touch the lid or side of deck whilst playing a record it causes needle to jump. I have heard that the pkx1000 is made of metal instead of hard plastic and so this stoos this from happening. Still a lovely turntable for the money. Highly recommended. 5 stars
