About this item
Written by Crutchfield's Eric Angevine
Elegant and well-built
Yamaha is a trustworthy name in the world of audio, and the TT-S303 turntable lives up to that legacy. This solidly built manual belt-drive 'table provides lush, detailed stereo sound and sports a beautiful piano black finish to boot. A switchable built-in phono preamp gives you plenty of flexibility when hooking it up.
Precise construction
Each part of the TT-S303 was chosen for a reason. The belt-driven die-cast aluminum platter provides excellent rotational stability, and the static balance straight tonearm can be adjusted so it tracks perfectly in the grooves of a record. An isolated DC synchronous motor reduces vibration, and an external power supply reduces electrical interference, so you just hear the music.
Yamaha even pre-installed a quality moving magnet cartridge, so you can start playing albums as soon as it's all set up.
