"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery

The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo

"There are records that belong to a moment, and there are records that somehow create a world of their own. Terry Callier's 1972 masterpiece Occasional Rain is one of the latter. Recorded in Chicago and produced by the legendary Charles Stepney, Occasional Rain was the beginning of Callier's extraordinary run of albums for Cadet Records. Callier arrived with a voice and musical language that refused easy classification: part folk storyteller, part jazz musician, part soul singer, with gospel, blues and psychedelia moving through everything he did. Stepney-the visionary arranger and producer whose work helped define some of the most adventurous music to emerge from Chicago-gave those songs an equally expansive setting. And then there are the voices. Behind Callier are Minnie Riperton, Kitty Haywood and Shirley Wahls, their harmonies becoming an essential part of the album's atmosphere...Slow Down Sounds is proud to bring Occasional Rain back to vinyl as an all-analog pressing sourced from the original analog tape, with lacquers cut by Kevin Gray and pressing by Record Technology, Inc. Those production details are especially meaningful for an album whose sound-the space around Callier's voice, Stepney's keyboards, the backing vocals and the texture of the ensemble-is such an important part of the experience. More than fifty years after it was recorded, Occasional Rain remains what it always was: a singular Chicago record, a Charles Stepney production at the height of his powers, and one of Terry Callier's defining works." - Slow Down Sounds
