So my old school record player from the 70's finally died (one channel on the RCA's was giving distortion) so I decided to try this cheaper record player due to the reviews. Got it next day which was amazing and once I unpacked it, I noticed that it was missing the RCA plug that goes from 3.5mm to 2 RCA's. So I called Audio-Technica Canada which every department goes straight to voicemail (still left a voicemail). So instead of returning it to Amazon (which I'm sure they would have gladly returned with no questions asked) I went to the local dollar store to see if they had this adapter which they did (Yaay $4 fix) I plugged it in and it seemed to work fine. I did notice the sound quality was not up to par with my other record player (could be the cartridge which is not replaceable, or the needle). I also don't know if the speed is exact since there is no way to tell, it seems a bit slower then it should. I noticed there are screw holes for speed adjustments so this may be a simple fix.
So in conclusion, for the price, I don't think you will find a better record player.
Edit: So I had to make an update and change my star rating. So Audio-Technica got back to me, they said they would send me one in the mail with no issues. After spending a few days with this, I have to admit, this is a solid unit! I've had $800+ turn tables and I'm sorry, for the price you shouldn't even consider anything at a higher price. I know I miss the adjustments but again, would you pay a significant more for those features when this just works. The sound quality and speed were verified and seems to be on par with my other record player. I had them side by side with my much more expensive record player, connected to Edifier S3000Pro and my Edifier S2000Pro, and couldn't tell the difference.
