"The OBI3 is a strong entry-level competitor to the AT-LP60X. It comes standard with higher priced features including an aluminum tonearm, MDF wood body, weighted aluminum platter and Bluetooth output. The OBI3 notably features pitch control (speed control), a rarity in this price range. The Gen 2 model adds adjustable anti-skate and counterweight for increased control over tonearm operation, as well as an improved speed sensor-controlled motor system. We got to test out an early OBI3 demo, and what really struck us was its weight. At 12.1 lbs, the OBI3 Gen 2 feels solid and the extra mass will do well in lessening vibrations (for comparison, the AT-LP60x weighs 5.7 lbs)." - TTL
