You know, now that I look at this, I have the T92 or T93 model, which is priced lower but seems to 
have the same functionality with slightly different control layout. All my comments about the 
Technics rubber mat and KAB clamp should apply to this one too. My guess is that this one might have 
a higher torque motor or something, but the T92/93 has plenty of torque and speed consistency. They 
may have also amped up the tonearm on the 150 to make it a Technics clone instead of a Technics 
knockoff.

One has a curved tonearm; the other has a straight tonearm.

I own one of these that's a few years old and like it a great deal -
it's built like a tank.  It's very quiet and responsive.
