Not a bad little machine by any standards Very good if you only listen to background music Sound is clear enough and defined enough for this purpose However ,if serious,in depth listening it your bag then you would be well advised to spend more This model is ideal for someone who has a system with no dedicated turntable or"phono" inputs as it is fitted with a phono pre-amp that can be used to bring the output to line or "aux" input levels This makes it compatible with most modern hifi units as they have these inputs On the whole quite a versatile little machine Highly recommended Anyway,any piece of equipment that the hi-fi press gives 5 stars to can't be too bad can it

I remember the original review in what hi-fi many years ago and when looking for a turntable to play some vinyl I picked one up very recently for little money. Basic and compact, sound quality is better than one of those god awful Ion decks I tried of a friends. However change your stylus frequently; they cost next to nothing and it'll make your records sing again. The built in pre-amp can be disabled but it does a decent enough job if our don't have a dedicated input on your amp. A lot of online reviews belittle the Mtt1 with many people stating that the What Hi-fi review is outdated and this deck would not be up to it nowdays. Well frankly coming from engineering background the basics are discs spins, vibrations picked up from grooves, vibrations amplified, music produced. There's not really much that's changed since the 60's. Doesn't matter if you stick go faster stripes or a spoiler on it, same process. You don't see audiophiles belittle a 20 year old Thorens or Lenco as there 'classics' but they do the Bush. I think it mainly comes down to audio snobbery, the price is too cheap it must be crud. Well chaps its not; if you want a cheap, small turntable that produces good sound then you could do far worse. I picked up a mint one for 21 quid on Ebay and then recently saw a decent one for a fiver at car boot so shop around.Read full review
Yes - it's a Bush - BUT it's not half bad! I picked one up for 30 quid second hand and I have it in my 'man cave' as my secondary turntable - perfectly good for that. Similar sound quality to players that cost up to 100 pounds new - but equally it's not as good as more expensive record players.

This is an old school mini turntable with built in pre amp or switch off to wire through to an amplifier with a phono amp built in. What HIfi winner back in the day and these can be picked up for cheap. Compact size and quirky if you are playing an LP as it hangs over the edge of the record player. There is a cut out in the lid if you wish to close it. Also great for scratching 12” single with the lid down as you stick your fingers on the bit that hangs out and you can scratch and back que. Joking aside this lo fi deck is perfect for a trip down memory lane. There is a short delay from the needle touching the record to sound that is emitted and there is a nasty earth hum when the arm is at rest. It goes when you move the arm and the turntable starts rotating. Budget Bush sounds ok fir what it is. There is no built in software for vinyl transfer and you cannot upgrade the stylus, but they can be had for £5 on eBay new. Overall verdict cheap as chips and good sound for what it is. If you are serious about the quality of sound I would buy something else, but for nostalgia and fun factor it’s 5*Read full review
