If your only intent is to use this turntable for the listening to and playback of your 45, 33 1/3, and 78 rpm vinyl records using the integrated speakers, you'd likely be content. If you hold the sound quality of your music in high regard, expect to be left dissatisfied.
Unless you enjoy the compression artifact laiden sound of low bitrate audio files, the USB recording functionality is worthless. The audio output through both the RCA and headphone jacks is sibilant and lacking in both the upper and lower frequencies, with quite a bit of emphasis on the mid-range. The tracking force is likely on the higher-end of the scale, and both the stylus and cantilever are fashioned out of plastic!
The only compensatory characteristic is the sensitive and wide-band AM tuner complete with its miscalibrated display of the currently tuned frequency.
