American Audio TTD 2400 USB MKII

great TT also with the already built in Audiotechnica spherical needle. but then I have upgrade the cartridge to ortofon OM2 (older model) costs 49 EUR, and it's heaven on a Turntable plate.

only minus point (and I don't need the cover i don't have a place for it) is that the lift (that lifts the arm does not go high enough so the space between the needle and the turntable is minimal I had to wrap some sellotape around the rim of the lift to make the needle go higher, but this is fixable.

basically it looks the same as the Lenco L3808 (swiss brand ) without the extra light for DJs which i don't need. i am sure it's made in the same chinese factory.

very sturdy, plate is also very sturdy.

My experience it wasn t good for the following reasons:
This turntable is all made of plastic, it is extremaly light weight so if you touch it you move it, the direct engine is not strong enough to spin in a professionaly way, when you make a little pressure on the vinyl the motor underneat it stop! I do a test with my Technics 1210 and of course there is no comparision. I didint expect to receive a such good product as the Technics for this price, but at least the possibility to use it to spin. This Turntable called PRO. it is totally un usefull, a waste of money.

I am trying to resolve thios matter with Thomann but it semm they dont want find a solution. I just need to buy a better turnatable, if they consider it so good so take it back!! This one is only good to play records, NOT FOR PROFSSSIONAL PURPOSE AT ALL. So dont write PRO, because it isn't.


SPANISH:
Mi experiencia no fue buena por las siguientes razones:
Este tocadiscos está hecho completamente de plástico, es extremadamente liviano por lo que si lo tocas lo mueves, el motor directo no es lo suficientemente fuerte como para girar de manera profesional, cuando haces un poco de presión sobre el vinilo el motor debajo se detiene. ! Hago una prueba con mi Technics 1210 y por supuesto no hay comparación. No esperaba recibir un producto tan bueno como Technics por este precio, pero al menos la posibilidad de usarlo para girar. Este tocadiscos llamado PRO. Es totalmente inútil, una pérdida de dinero.

Estoy intentando resolver este asunto con Thomann pero parece que no quieren encontrar una solución. Sólo necesito comprar un tocadiscos mejor, si lo consideran tan bueno, ¡¡retírelo!! Este solo sirve para reproducir discos, NO PARA FINES PROFESIONALES. Así que no escribas PRO, porque no lo es.

The AA TTD 2400 USB is a decent turntable if you want a good sound and have just a small budget.

The quality of the turntable mechanics and plastic core is just decent, BEWARE: don't buy the dust cover (which is sold separately) because its anchoring mechanism is flawed and you won't be able to mount it unless inventing another way to do it. I think it's a design error by American Audio, its springs are just too rigid and can't be inserted where they should. The springs also don't stay fixed in their position because they seems incompatible with their plastic slots.

Apart from this idiotic issue, the turntable works perfectly, it's very easy to use and also connectable to your pc via usb. Anyway the overall quality is just decent.
