It was very easy to connect and the operation and sound quality are excellent. We are very satisfied with this turntable.
This is not overload as I was careful not to have line-in at too high a volume.Conclusion: this turntable has a cheap and nasty cartridge and/or pre-amplifier. These recordings now had significant and highly annoying distortion in loud passages. It probably wouldn't be noticeable with pop music but with loud legato passages in classical music, e.g., choruses or organ pieces, it is terrible. I bought this turntable to replace an old but excellent Connoisseur turntable I was using to transfer LPs to audio disc. I'm junking the Sony and going back to the Connoisseur. Annoying, but I could deal with this by applying a low frequency cut-off filter.Many transcriptions had noticeable distortion on loud passages but I put this down to a problem with the LPs. The Connoisseur required a new belt at $60 so I thought I would buy the Sony.I immediately notice a major problem - significant rumble. Then I re-transcribed two LPs I had previously recorded with the Connoisseur.
Its spent 90% of that time in the box. I can see what's causing the behavior but I don't really know what happened to make it do what its doing. Its cheap junk.
I can get it to work, but then it will start doing it again. Its like there is something missing. I opened it up to try to figure out what was going on with it.
I can't recommend this turntable. Now when I move the needle to the playing position it wants to retract and stop. I got annoyed looking at the stupid, cheap design of the thing and just resolved to buy a new one (not Sony) with direct drive that will hopefully last.
I've had it for a few years, but I've never used it much at all. In the last month I started listening to more vinyl though, buying a few jazz LPs off ebay.
Recorded to CD as WAV files, the sound is excellent when played through my audiophile system with Mirage speakers. I needed a good quality sounding turntable to convert certain LP's from my extensive collection to CD's. This Sony PSLX250H does the job perfectly, and for a reasonable cost.
It works perfectly with myold record albums and my new Sony surround sound system.Great price. Nice looking, works well right out of the box.Plays LP's with surprising quality.Unit itself is light and a little flimsy but I do notregret selecting it.
