And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The analog parts of this turntable are likely pretty good, although I prefer Technics. The problem is the wireless protocol. At least the early Bluetooth audio protocols were not compatible with high fidelity audio. Bandwidth through a Bluetooth protocol is generally throttled to meet the capabilities of their frequency hopping signal and sharing that bandwidth for stereo signals. Getting older, my early days of high-level monitoring and playing in too many loud bands mean I care less about absolute fidelity anyway, but I’m not sure that this unit approaches audiophile quality given the Bluetooth connection. YMMV.
After a bit of research, the turntable does use the apt-X adaptive codec which is reasonably high fidelity. All codecs involve some compromises, but at least they have chosen a codec with a reasonable and defensible quality metric.
Was hoping for a more substantial base. Not terrible, tracing weight is adjustable. Pairs easily with a Bose soundbar.
