 Bad distortion and rumble, 2008-11-09
I bought this turntable to replace an old but excellent Connoisseur turntable I was using to transfer LPs to audio disc. The Connoisseur required a new belt at $60 so I thought I would buy the Sony.
I immediately notice a major problem - significant rumble. Annoying, but I could deal with this by applying a low frequency cut-off filter.
Many transcriptions had noticeable distortion on loud passages but I put this down to a problem with the LPs. Then I re-transcribed two LPs I had previously recorded with the Connoisseur. These recordings now had significant and highly annoying distortion in loud passages. It probably wouldn't be noticeable with pop music but with loud legato passages in classical music, e.g., choruses or organ pieces, it is terrible. This is not overload as I was careful not to have line-in at too high a volume.
Conclusion: this turntable has a cheap and nasty cartridge and/or pre-amplifier. I'm junking the Sony and going back to the Connoisseur.
 Can't recommend, 2008-11-05
I can't recommend this turntable. Its cheap junk. I've had it for a few years, but I've never used it much at all. Its spent 90% of that time in the box. In the last month I started listening to more vinyl though, buying a few jazz LPs off ebay. Now when I move the needle to the playing position it wants to retract and stop. I can get it to work, but then it will start doing it again. I opened it up to try to figure out what was going on with it. I can see what's causing the behavior but I don't really know what happened to make it do what its doing. Its like there is something missing. I got annoyed looking at the stupid, cheap design of the thing and just resolved to buy a new one (not Sony) with direct drive that will hopefully last.
Excellent for my needs., 2008-10-19
I needed a good quality sounding turntable to convert certain LP's from my extensive collection to CD's. This Sony PSLX250H does the job perfectly, and for a reasonable cost. Recorded to CD as WAV files, the sound is excellent when played through my audiophile system with Mirage speakers.
 Sony Turntable, 2008-10-07
Nice looking, works well right out of the box.
Plays LP's with surprising quality.
Unit itself is light and a little flimsy but I do not
regret selecting it. It works perfectly with my
old record albums and my new Sony surround sound system.
Great price!
Incredible in every way, 2008-10-06
Vinyl record players are no longer only for audiophiles and the technologically stubborn. There are more and more labels pressing new albums on vinyl and with companies like Sony putting out turntables like their PSLX250H everyone who loves music should be making the switch (or switch back?). The sound produced is infinitely better than a CD and certainly better than an mp3 and the experience of placing the needle on the rim of the disk and listening to an album in its entirety and in the intended order is indescribable. There are a lot of brands putting out turntables now but none of them have the trustworthy name and quality of production that Sony has. I recommend this record player HIGHLY and suggest everyone to invest in one today.
