Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok, just put in Miles Davis Kind of Blue. A 180-gram recording. No problems with this format. So I am not sure what is going on with the other comments. I have this exact album (Miles) on CD, I was noticing things I NEVER heard on the CD. I forgot how beautiful LP records sound. This was a birthday present to myself. I thought it was cool and retro. I gave away my LP's when CD's came out. I hate skips, pops, and noise. I think I may have been premature in doing so. I think there is a definite tradeoff --convenience versus fidelity. This LP sounds like getting into a warm bathtub feels. Just relaxing and well... immersive! I also think there are diminishing returns for turntables. This turntable sounds amazing! I can't imagine paying two to tens times more and getting two to ten times better sound! I paired this with the Micca RB42's and a cheap amplifier (You need an amplifier or powered speakers!) OMG, this sounds like I spent thousands of dollars for a high-end stereo system! Get the Micca RB42's if you can, they keep selling out! *** Ok, it started skipping on the first track of even new albums. Looked at forums, the number one thing to do with this turntable is to level it, got out my level, found I was off by a fraction. One and a half turns of one record stand leg and it stopped skipping. YOU MUST LEVEL YOUR DECK! **** Update, still skipping on the first track of every LP! New or old. I can see why you need a better turntable. No skip control. It is almost like the tone arm has a fault after the first minute of the first track. All other tracks on my new LP's don't skip. The first one minute of the tracks are just fine, then a SKIP! on three different LP's so far. Sending back, and getting a higher end turntable... so disappointed! It sounds amazing!
