Item Description:
  • Update of the AT-LP120-USB turntable
  • Features a new DC servo direct-drive motor
  • Fully manual
  • Equipped with a USB output that allows direct connection to computer
  • Overview:

    This update of the AT-LP120-USB turntable features a new DC servo direct-drive motor, along with adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and selectable phono preamplifier. The fully manual turntable plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and is equipped with a USB output that allows direct connection to your computer. Just download the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software (or software of your choice) and start converting your records to digital audio files. But in addition to the USB output, the turntable also comes with a detachable dual RCA output cable and is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp so you can connect directly to your home stereo, whether it has a dedicated phono input or not. 

    The turntable features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil* elliptical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application. 

    Additional features include a die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat; a start/stop button; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-8% or +/-16% adjustment ranges; a stroboscopic platter with speed indicator; a removable plug-type stylus target light; external power supply; and a removable hinged dust cover.

    This turntable replaced a Victrola belt drive unit that I could not find belts for. The belts were so bad after a year and a half's use it was absolutely unlistenable. This beauty has and no wow or flutter that I can hear, I am so happy with it

    I was looking for a nice middle of the road turntable and this one works great. Easy to operate, even though I do miss the auto-return feature. Connects to our Sony Sound Bar every time. I love the no-cables connecting the most.

    This turntable is very plasticky and cheap, basically you get what you paid for. Great for entry level users, but not for the more sound oriented connoisseur. Be aware this turntables bluetooth is fussy and can be a pain to pair. After 1 year, the bluetooth pooched and no longer works.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

    I use the turn table to sit back and listen to various music. This was just going to be a hobby and now is a passion. This is a must-buy and well worth the money.

    I purchased 2 of the Bronze edition thinking it would be more of a collectable but I am thinking it was not a good purchase. It feels very cheap. It does do what it is supposed to do and looks nice but there are better options, like the 140 XP. All the OEM and Super OEM decks are made by Hanpin no matter the brand. This deck is kind of a dissapointment. I purchased 2 of these and will definitely be returning at least one, maybe both. It does look nice in the collection of DJ decks that I own. Looks are deceiving ...

    Did a quick survey of preferred record players/turntables on the internet and found that this one had all the features i wanted, Bluetooth, analog, and digital, + the 3 speeds. I'm particularly interested in transferring some of my father's old Caribbean music collection to a digital format.

    Great product! High quality and easy to set up. Plug in and play! Bluetooth connectivity is a breeze. It remembers my Marshall Middleton speaker and syncs up automatically the moment I turn both on. Would definitely purchase another! *purchased from UO

    I had a AT LP-60 Belt Drive Automatic unit that I had for about 8-10 years, and I had used it in a basement remodel that had a small audio improvement, but not a full home theater setup. Two in-ceiling speakers and a floor woofer, tied into a decent Denon receiver, with some additional equalizers and amps and CD players. I started looking for an upgrade for a few reasons. My wife was looking for me to be able to listen via Bluetooth when she preferred I wasn't blowing out the sound throughout the entire house! I also had received some old 78's that I wanted to play and the LP-60 cannot play them. My study focused on this model - bluetooth, USB, and 78 compatibility. An audiophile friend had also pointed in this direction. It set up easily, easier than a belt drive unit. It is also a very good looking turntable so I started by keeping it out in the room and hooking it up via a bluetooth Bose Mini Sound Link Speaker. It sounded wonderful, even coming through the small bluetooth speaker. But I still hadn't connected it to the main system. We both had a strong desire to keep it out displayed. I then discovered, something I hadn't realized is that my Denon receiver actually had bluetooth capability. I then figured out how to run the turntable through the receiver and now I am looking for a permanent furniture solution to keep vinyl and the turntable out where everyone can see them and use them. Through the main system speakers the sound is better than the old AT I had - the speed control is solid, no hum has ever come through from the direct drive motor. I am very happy with this unit because not only does it sound very nice, it also has brought more of my vinyl out for our family and friends to hear.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
