Okay, guys… I encourage anyone who ordered this product to read this, ESPECIALLY if your turntable isn't spinning. I was SUPER excited about this thing arriving today. The minute I got home, I tore open the box and started assembling, which was SUPER easy. It took me about five minutes to get everything together. Then, I tested it out, very aware of all the negative comments I read before purchasing. But whatever, I had a gift card. It started playing, whilst I began to giggle cause I was so excited. Once the vocal came in, it sounded high-pitched and weird, so I figured I should turn down the speed (even though it was at the lowest speed). I moved the needle over, and the turntable stops spinning (as expected). Then, I try to start it up again, moving the needle over the vinyl. Turntable doesn't spin. Just this humming noise like it's trying to turn but nothing is happening. Long story short, I'm trying to get this thing to spin for twenty minutes. Turning it off and on again. Changing the speeds. Pushing buttons I shouldn't have been pushing. Shaking it. Beating lightly on the turntable. Nothing worked. So, because I'm motivated when I want to be, I took to the internet, where I learned about something called a "belt," which essentially makes the table turn because it's connected to the engine thingy. I'm not high tech. Just your average 24-year-old woman who knows nothing about this sort of stuff. Anyway… after about fifteen minutes, I had the entire thing apart. All the screws in a little pile so I wouldn't lose them and the whole contraption in pieces and parts laid out in front of me. I found the belt and I'm reaching my fingers up under the table to try and figure out where it's supposed to go (that's what she said?). When I think I've got it figured out, I test it out by turning on the power and nothing. No luck. But I'm still determined. I look at Youtube videos and images of where a turntable belt is supposed to go. I eventually realize that the belt has to wrap around the pulley and then from there wrap around the inside ridge of the underside of the turntable. So I've finally got that done and it looks about right, as well as I can tell anyway cause I really can't see much. (You're gonna need a flashlight.) So I screw everything back in place, say a little prayer, put the vinyl back on the turntable, turn the thing on, and move the needle over. BOOM! IT SPINS! AND not only that, the vocals sound clear and normal. So I'm guessing whoever or whatever assembled this thing put the belt on wrong. When I finally got ahold of the belt, it was all twisted around the centerpiece. Pliers worked pretty well to free it. Anyway… if your turntable isn't spinning, don't return it necessarily. If you have an hour, you can fix it yourself. I'm listening to the XX now on my new toy and honestly, I think I like this thing better because I BASICALLY put it together myself, Sorta sentimental now. :) Anyway, good luck! I don't usually post reviews but I just had to saying something cause 1) I'm really proud of myself and 2) I had read so many comments about turntables not spinning.
