Gemini Sound TT-4000 Professional Direct-Drive DJ Turntable, High Torque, 3 Speeds Vinyl Record Player, Switchable Phono Preamp, Variable Pitch Control, Die-Cast Aluminum Platter, USB Audio Interface

Great direct drive turntable.

I purchased 2 of these new, and after a month of unresolved issues, email and phone calls with Gemini Support, they said, “destroy them and we will replace them with 2new turntables.” Sent pictures documenting their destruction and received new replacements.Turntable issues resolved? NOOOO!!! The 2 replacements had the same issues, anti-skating didn’t work and wouldn’t play end of LPs or any 45s, cartridge and headshell skated across records, plus a new issue, BOTH new turntables had major Wow and Flutter issues. That means the records sped up, slowed down at beginning of play, and then would speed up and slow down again 4-5 seconds later. These replacements are unusable!!I want my money back, but Gemini Support says since they were bought through Amazon, they can’t do that, so I’m stuck once again with turntables, brand new, out of the box, that aren’t usable.DO NOT BUY GEMINI TURNTABLES!! Too bad we can’t give 0 “stars”.######################It has 3 months since my Reviews in July 2023. I heard from the Amazon vendor, Speakers Direct, shortly afterward, asking if we (my wife bought one as a surprise, and I needed two), would like a ‘Full refund’, and I replied saying, “Yes, please give a refund.”It’s 3 months later and I haven’t received a Refund, or the courtesy of a Reply from the vendor or Amazon.Again, DON’T WASTE TOUR MONEY ON THIS TURNTABLE, or buy them here. I’d give this item Zero Stars if it was possible.

At first glance the table looks a lot like what we're used to seeing in the DJ Arena now of course being what I paid for it I didn't expect it to be anything like a technique 1200 but the torque for back queuing and scratching was great what was Bismol is the fact that the motor when released sped up so fast and then slow down to compensate to try to keep the 33 in the third speed that it was all over the place and Pitch adjustments whether I don't know what kind of mechanism they're using it's definitely not the hand pin type but it was all over the place as well sounded terrible needless to say even with the key lock on you would hear that difference if it wasn't for that I probably would have kept them as a beginner turntable kind of deal just to have around the house I've been mixing since 85 and being on techniques I was again I wasn't expecting that but still nothing that I still believe a $200 price tag should even come close it should at least perform somewhat better than that so if you're a new beginning DJ and you're just learning and you don't mind spending to 250 on these tables okay great but just understand that the performance are going to be subpar and that's the reason why I gave it two stars other than that the sound was great the needle worked fine oh you know in one table the anti-skating worked in the other table the anti skating did not.....So Jim and I need to really get a deal with that and their quality to control also needs to be addressed because my slip mats one came with Gemini slip mats and the other one was playing so I don't know what happened unless they just ran out of slip mats I guess it's best to say that they gave me a slip mat but they didn't say Gemini on it and the other problem that I remember is when I got them back and shipping The Platters were all loosen every box they had a spot for them in the styrofoam but they were flying all over the box and that's how one of them broke one of the tabs on my first table that I had to return and get back and purchase another one.

For the money good value

I wish I had read the reviews before buying this. I just play records live. No scratching, no nothing else, just music. The first turntable they sent me was unplayable. The counterweight wouldn't set in place and the platter sat flat on the table, so it wouldn't turn. And trust me, I have had dozens of turntables, I know how to make them work. This one wouldn't. So being foolish, I asked for another, which was sent with Gemini not responding to a complaint. The second one set up better, but it could not maintain speed. God help you if you stopped it and started it again. Even at 33 1/3, it couldn't play at speed. Honestly, if you want a direct drive turntable, spend the money for an AT-LP120 (had one for 3 years, never an issue) or another name brand. The Gemini is neither 'professional' or a turntable. It is crap.

The media could not be loaded. I can't find a problem with this turntable yet. I'm having a blast playing my old records.I can't wait to start scratching!

This is a really nice unit. Great clarityAnd I'm the Cats meow after I surprised my Wife with this. Belt drives just kept stretching or motors slowed.Now she can listen to all her vintage vinyl and get consistent play. And if by some reason it sounds too slow or fast, it has a pitch slider +or- 10%. Light weight and it can be run through your usb to a computer as well .

I bought this turntable as a gift for my husband and he bought one for himself. They have both been nothing but a nightmare.After a month of unresolved issues, email and phone calls with Gemini Support, they said, “destroy them and we will replace them with 2new turntables.” He sent pictures documenting their destruction and received new replacements.We’re the turntable issues resolved?
