Featuring high-quality materials and precision-engineered parts, Spindeck simplifies turntable setup with a tonearm featuring a pre-set counterweight and pre-mounted Ortofon Custom OM Series cartridge. The main chassis of the turntable is made from engineered particle board, which is sturdy yet light weight.

    Andover Audio is a wonderful company. I own three of their SpinDecks (and so far one of their SpinStands!) and am taking a fourth to my big brother and his wonderful with later this year.

    He is a fan of Direct Drive turntables, so as tempting as it is, I will not be bringing them a SpinDeck. For now…
