Vestax
Guber CM-02 USB Turntable - White

high end compact USB turntable

OVERVIEW
The Guber CM-O2 from Vestax is a unique and stylish turntable offering high end sound and functionality plus USB recording capabilities, all in a very compact frame.

FEATURES
Featuring a DC Servo Motor controlled Belt Drive system, the Guber CM-02 delivers smooth quiet rotation of the 240mm diameter, extra thich acrylic platter. The 5 bullet shape body weights provide a sufficient inertial force while the static balance, aluminum S type tone arm offers supreme tracking and vibrational characteristics. There is also a built-in high quality RIAA phono equalizer enabling direct connection to your stereo system via LINE input. The CM-02 also has a PHONO/LINE output select switch for connection to PHONO input as a regular turntable. Best of all there is a USB output to connect the GUBER to your Mac or PC for direct recording of your favorite LPs (no special installation required!). Also includes a cartridge with headshell in the box as well as clear slipmat.

OUR OPINION
The Guber CM-02 is like the Cadillac of compact USB turntables. Not only does it sport an eye catching look with the clear acrylic platter, high end construction and rounded edges, it also features a cartridge on a headshell that can be replaced (with a higher grade needle if you prefer). This is an option seldom seen on these kinds of turntables and can be utilized by audiophiles who demand highest quality sound.
