When I opened the shipping box today, which looked pristine, the two wires which hold the tonearm down (to the antiskate?) were hanging in midair. One looked frayed on the end. I ordered this table with the basic cartridge as it was sold in Europe--I was thinking of doing a wee review--with parameters set by the dealer. Forget taping a penny to the headshell, I would have to glue a five-pound bag of sugar to get any downforce. Has anyone else experienced a failure in the field? Not an auspicious start.

Sounds like a failure at the manufacturer's or dealer's place. I'd send it back for an exchange. We can wait for the review, if you can.

When I received mine it didn't have that problem. You paid good money for that TT. You should send it back and get one that is in new condition. Then give us a review. I am anxious to here your impressions and how they compare to mine. I am using a Denon DL-301 mk2 though.........
