The Vestax Guber USB Turntable, for the Audiophile in You
As far as we can tell, the Vestax Guber CM-02 USB turntable has two things going for it, besides the pretty goofy name: first, it touts the precision engineering and quality of its construction and materials to the point where, when combined with the asking price (between $233 and $499), you have to wonder if maybe there’s something pretty good behind the marketing. Second, it comes with a proprietary hookup to the company’s Cube 2 EQ system (purchased separately, of course), so you can adjust audio quality to fit the needs of your listening room.
Of course, what with the high price and the quality focus and the separate EQ system, we’re willing to bet the Guber CM-02 is the sort of turntable you buy if you’re a dedicated audiophile, or want to become one. Everyone else: take the sticker shock for what its worth, and move on to other, more affordably priced options.Permanent Link
