If you are a sample based producer looking for portability and lightweight in a turntable than this is it. Small enough to fit in the crate with your vinyls. The option of 33/45/78 RPM, pitch bending, and volume control. Has RCA line outs, with 1/8" and 1/4" jack for headphones. Don't expect to be able to scratch on this table. The needle isn't made for it or is the platter stable enough to hold a 12" vinyl, it actually hangs off the table. Overall it has the basic function of a turntable for listening pleasure and sampling. Could of been better if scratching was a possibility and the pitch controller would of been a slider, instead of a knob. And also, there is no need for a external mixer.

Price paid

$59 USD

The sound quality was ok. In a quiet room, the volume is good and loud. If there was any noise factor going on, than the sound will be drown out. If you have monitors or headphones, it is better to run the PT-01 through them, if you looking to feel the room up with thumping sounds.

It is a very simple product to use. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the functions. Just plug in and go at it.

It is very durable, but don't go throwing it around. And the needle is good, if you take care of it, because if needed to be replace, the whole system will need work, because the needle is not detachable.

I love it. It does everything I need it to do, for my sampling production. It is so simple to use, can't complain. The only thing I wish I could do is scratch and it was a little wider for the whole 12" vinyl to fit comfortably. Basically if it had the interface of the Technics 1200s or Vestax PDX2300MK2PRO, then it would get 10's across the board.
