Decent turntable that actually isn't a good value.....
This turntable is offered as a low end offering from Sony and, for what it is, it's okay. It will play most records adequately and is sufficient for infrequent to moderate duty.
However, the PS-LX250H ends up not being as good of a buy as many would think since this model is merely a rebadged Audio-Technica AT-PL50.
You may be able to save a little more money and just purchase the Audio-Technica version over the Sony PS-LX250H (or the Teac P-988 for that matter since it's also the same turntable with different branding).
That said, you can also obtain replacement styli for your Sony PS-LX250H and Teac P-988 by buying the replacement stylus for the Audio-Technica AT-PL50 from, well, any place that sells Audio-Technica. The replacement stylus is the ATN3600L, which is a low-cost (around $10 U.S.) conical diamond stylus.
