Wow, what a wonderful turntable! Why did you decide to sell it? My current table is a PS-X5, which is nearly identical, aside from the touch controls and carbon-fiber arm. I'm spinning some classical right now, in fact.
Sony's PS-X turntables are spectacular. They are among the best bargains in hi-fi today. We ought to be giving these out to everyone we know. We could definitely change some minds about analog LPs.
Most records sound better than CD's which is why when you see and audiophile they will use records instead of CD's. CD's are 44.1khz and Records are Lossless
If the sampling was being done via LPCM at 16-bits, encoding sound at 44.1 kHz is LOSSLESS between 1 Hz and 22,050 Hz with a dynamic range limit of roughly 96 dB.
Amazingly enough, it sounds great for a warped record, that from the label appears to be made in the late 1950s. To take it even further, the only way you can wear out a record is when you have poor quality equipment to play them with. I have played some of my records at least 20 times and they still sound new.
i have an old garrard mk11 whic is awesome and has a killer sound if i bought say wharfdale speakers new would i be able to hook e up considering my turntable has the 5 pinmark plugs i just want to add some style and a some new speakers of same colour would look cool.
I've been using friends' discarded stereo equipment for years, but now with this TT, a Yamaha CR600 reciever and Camber 25 speakers I'm set to really hear my old vinyl records.
I had an Akai head and TT with Sears speakers until now.
It has a die-cast metal plinth, X-Tal Lock servo controlled direct drive motor, and a carbon fiber tone arm.
And, yes, it is fully automatic with selectable record size, which is what that black knob on the top of the plinth just underneath the two silver sensor pad buttons.
But, his turntable does need one thing to be fixed. The dampening for the stylus lift needs to be fixed as it allows the stylus to be carelessly dropped onto the record.
This is called a stroboscope. With pitch controls, you adjust until the stroboscope pattern appears stationary in the light. The light may cycle at 50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on AC power source.
However, some turntables that have a stroboscope don't have pitch controls. This particular model uses quartz crystal oscillation to regulate rotation so pitch adjustments are unnecessary; the strobe is used to show that it's working.
Thats cool:P It sounds good

That actually sounds really nice. I thought all records sounded crappy. I guess I could've been wrong.

@Themadfarter1976 They only sound crappy when there worn out. That record probably hasn't been played much.

It is not that warped. It is only 'deformed' at the edge.

Neat Table! Fully automatic?

The turntable appears to be a Sony PS-X7.
It has a die-cast metal plinth, X-Tal Lock servo controlled direct drive motor, and a carbon fiber tone arm.
And, yes, it is fully automatic with selectable record size, which is what that black knob on the top of the plinth just underneath the two silver sensor pad buttons.

I had stated that the plinth was diecast metal. I think this is incorrect. The plinth is made of a composite.

just to let you know that light is to adjust the speed of the record
