Works amazing, the quality of the build to the sounds speaks volumes

I received the record player today. To get straight to the point: It has more disadvantages than advantages. Its biggest and, in my opinion, only real advantage is the sound reproduction. It is truly magnificent. Together with the Ortofon 2M Red pickup, the result is a truly fantastic sound stage. Unfortunately, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. The device is very impractical to operate. To start up the turntable, you always have to set the small knob at the top to 33 or 45, otherwise the platter won't turn. Almost all other manufacturers do this better, namely the platter rotates when the tonearm is swung in and stops rotating when the tonearm is swung back. But unfortunately not with the Victrola Hi Res! You have to control everything manually. And you must not raise the tonearm lift when the tonearm is locked! If you do, the lift will stop working and you will have to adjust it again to get it working again. All other manufacturers can do this better. Operating the contact surface on the front is complicated. No matter how you touch it, whether long or short, something else always happens than what you expect. The labeling of the controller for the anti-skating is not clearly defined. You don't know exactly where to find 1. 8, for example, as required by the built-in 2M Red pickup. The motor is very weak. Even a light touch with a carbon fiber brush to clean the record reduces the speed enormously. The cover is made of simple, very primitive material and is anything but attractive, it is ugly. Finally, I wonder how the extremely high purchase price came about. The device is very well made and the design is worth seeing, but the price is not justified.

After using this turntable for almost 1 year, I absolutely love it. The ability to play my vinyl through either Bluetooth or hardwired is a game changer! The sound from the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is also unmatched- so warm and rich! Highly recommend this turntable for any vinyl lover looking to upgrade their setup.

I have had the Hi Res Carbon turntable for about two months. I am thrilled with such a great sounding turntable at this price point. It sleek and beautifully designed. I listen to mostly classical, some jazz, show tunes and 60'-70's rock. Everything sounds crisp and clear on it. It is connected to a Denon AVR-S750H receiver powering Paradigm Monitor 7 tower speakers that are 15 years old. Turntable was extremely easy to set up. If my husband is watching TV also connected to the system I can listen in another room on Bluetooth speakers. Not quite as good, but offers a better than passible listening experience. I'm back to listening to my many vinyl records which I hadn't played in several years. They are so warm sounding. I'm glad I didn't get rid of them.

Wow. Just taking the turntable out of the box was a blast. Love the design of the unit and ease of setup. Connected to my Bluetooth speakers easily and the sound is amazing. The red Ortifon cartridge is a great add. Can't wait to see what it can do on my wired stereo. My kids are obsessed and pulling out the old vinyl to play! I'd recommend this turntable to anyone looking.

This new turntable from Victrola really is a game changer for veteran and rookie vinyl collectors. Not only do my records sound fantastic, it is a quality turntable that competes with other turntables I currently have or have had in the past. I like versatility between the bluetooth and RCA output and I always love when turntables have an upgrade stylus, in this case the Red ortifon 2m cartridge. I highly recommend this for others to purchase.
