## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the built-in pre amp be bypassed?**
A: Yes, there is a switch on the back of the unit.

**Q: It's not clear from the description, so I will ask:  does it play all three speeds?**
A: Hello LW_NM, thank you or your inquiry.  This unit plays in both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm.  For reference, this information can be found in the first paragraph under Product Description on the listing page.

**Q: Does the "auto-stop" stop the platter from spinning and shut off the turntable?**
A: Hello Jazz, thank you for your inquiry.  The turntable has a switch to engage or disengage the auto-stop once the needle reached the end of the record.  Once playback on a side is complete, the platter will spin for a few rotations before stopping.  This tone arm however, does not have an auto-return feature.  Please visit our site and refer to the user manual which provides a full detail on the auto-stop feature.  If you do have any additional technical inquiries, we do recommend that you contact us directly from our website, where you will have both Live Chat and completion of the online contact form for options.

**Q: I see it comes with a good stylus. Can it be upgraded to higher end such as ortofon or a higher end AT??**
A: You can upgrade the stylus on the AT95E cartridge to an AT95SE, AT95VL, or a AT95SA with the AT95SA being the best stylus with a diamond tip measuring .0002 x .0029 in.  Or, should you prefer, purchase an entirely new phono cartridge.
