Value For Money
Great, Simple And Solid Deck
I was bought this deck for Christmas. Initially, I was disappointed by the lack of 33 1/3 to 45 RPM switch. It's a direct drive via a pulley, so to move speeds you have to remove the turntable and slip the drive belt over the different drive wheels. However, I hardly ever play 45 rpm discs, so actually, it's not been a real-world problem for me.
The build quality is superb, it is solid so doesn't jump at high volumes so tracking is awesome and I can't recommend this deck highly enough. Would I pay the extra for a speed switch? Probably not - I'll save my money for a new cartridge and more albums!
I have an old Planar3 - love it. It's 36 years old and as good as new!
You scold absolutely for nothing this deck. It is intended to play music at measured parties on the ship. If you need something faster for a regular club, you should have immediately bought another device.
