See the full review for the E.A.T. Prelude Turntable

E.A.T. has introduced their Prelude turntable, which is an entry-level unit, designed to entice audiophiles to become vinyl enthusiasts. It will also leave your bank account pretty much intact.

For those of you out there who have not yet jumped into the vinyl resurgence, this product is for your perusal. It is priced at $1,195 USD, and it comes with a pre-installed Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. It is “ready to go”. You just plug the output jacks into a phono preamplifier, the phono preamplifier into your main preamp, and you will be listening to some vinyl.

Tests of this turntable have revealed it to be an excellent value. It is easy to set up, it is well built, and it works great.

A full review is forthcoming.
