Strength:
The return to arm after lp plays, great when you can't sit by the turntable every second. Cost, Cost, Cost Easily upgradeable to give a real competition to high end turntable makers. Appeal to critical listeners. Not a DJ model. Cueing on the tone arm, which some high end turntables don't have. Being designed to used as a manual turntable, it works well to transcribe lp to cd.

Weakness:
The cartridge that came in it is like putting cheap radials on a Porsche. SLBD20D is truly a gem ready to polished. The wow and fuller and signal to noise radio is truly among audiophile quality. The arm is light and tracks well. But, you need to change throw away cartridge to a high quality audio technica or shure brand. Once you do that, you're where many a high turntable wishes you weren't (in there territory). In the present state, you just don't get what this table can do. Buy one and make the upgrade that most can afford to do. I used the Audio Technica AT311ED, and further upgraded the stylus to the shibata diamond. People, you can't even imagine how good my LP's sound. |

Strength:
The design delivers no noise, and little error in speed. These specs sometimes are not equaled by $350-400 audiophile models.
Weakness:
Feet that don't adjust, forcing you to shim the legs for level play.
You must look at the Technics SLBD20D as a piece of art. You can assume is 80 hours of someone's work, or underneath 60 years of emotion. On the surface, the turntable is inexpensive, and sounds mediocre, but underneath there's a lot more. Lurking in the design is a sound deading non-metalic base, and a very light tone arm. The P-mount design is based on standards for all of p-mount cartridge makers. The weight and poisition is designed into both the turntable and the cartridge. Counterweight and anti-skate are preset, and was the last hurrah of the phono age to make standards for cartridge and table designers. The wow and flutter is .045%, and the S/N -68 DB when the table is properly grounded. The platter is run by a servo controller on the motor, which keeps the speed accurate, even if the belt wears. You can't make changes to the table set, and in this case that's good. If you spend some on a new cartridge Audio Technica AT311EP, you've got a special turntable. If you add a shibata stylus, $50 at LPGear to the AT311EP, you've got a near audiophile quality turntable. The point of the review is that this turntable is both an inexpensive starter turntable, or a high quality lifetime instrument of audio satisfaction. Customer Service As I said in the weaknesses, there's a high probability that Technics did not make this turntable. It's not available in their model list, and theirs no manuals available online.
