500v3 Cartridge

The brand new 500v3 cartridge sounds wonderful with reduced surface noise and tracks terrific at 3 grams (suggested variety is 2-5 grams). This turntable has a ground cable and no humming or whirring sounds.

The sound quality is really clear, and while the plate itself is relatively lightweight, the slipmat assists in dampening it, and you will not hear any resonance or various other obstructions in the noise. There is also no noticeable motor sound or rumble you sometimes get with a cheaper needle cartridge.

Design

The turntable itself is robust and weighs about 17 pounds overall. The RCA and power cables are removable, which is a good attribute even Technics turntables do not have. You can quickly readjust the height of the feet for leveling the turntable however you can loosen the feet by turning them counterclockwise, which will, in turn, raise the edge of the turntable. Generally, this is a fantastic turntable for the cash, and although the price is perfect for a budget, the design quality remains.

Features

You will have no difficulty putting together the turntable, put the pieces in their locations. There are directions included. The audio cables included are quite short, though, so if your other audio devices are even more than 3 feet away, be prepared to buy some other cables. You probably already have spare cables, so this is not an issue.

Among things you might be trying to find in this turntable is the convenience of audio and transferring vinyl to mp3 format, and although there are lots of turntables out there that do this quickly, many of the testimonials for those turntables and the sound quality, give a poor conversion in the sound quality. With the Stanton T62 you will find the quality the best it can be.

You can link your amplifier output line to your computer system, download some complimentary programs including Audacity, and record with a much better sound quality.

This is a amazing turntable for people who enjoys vinyl, and if you’re a DJ or a traditional music fan, then you must add this to your collection of music equipment.
