This product has been a real pleasure to use and it tracks very well. I have the older model with a sabata and it performs just as well . The bottom is smooth and the highs are accurate l use a pro-jet phono preamp and it another 20 db.  boost , my recordings to cd sound great. The cost was a little high but the 140 gives my denon 110 mc a run for the money.  Good recording.  Mph from long beach
