I was a little concerned about buying this given I have read about hum and rumble issues but experienced neither. It is a solidly built little table. I have a lower end Rega with a Sumiko Blue Point 2 so hard to compare given that Blue Point runs about the same as this table but the sound is good enough to really enjoy vinyl. I am running with a Parasound phono unit into an Audio Research LS17 to Audio Research D400IIs played through Magnepan 20.7s. I know this phono set up is not in the same league as the rest of my gear but had Best Buy gift certificates, liked the Beatles unit and not a huge vinyl guy but wanted a second turntable for main floor system.. Auto speed selection is nice, set up is easy and it is a good looking fairly hefty table for this price range. Worth a look at this price point
