Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK Wireless Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog, Wireless & USB), Fully Manual, 3 Speed, Convert Vinyl to Digital, Built-in Pre-Amp, Black

What a nice experience. I just got it today,and after experiencing a few Klinger I had that were once good but no longer useable,I have this. The thing was easier to assemble than I expected. The cartridge included is a nice one. You don't have to worry about upgrading right away at all. The ton arm was decent. I got the weight at between 2 and 2.5 grams and the anti skate set at 2 or 2.5 The platter is durable. My old Esoteric Sound was nearly the same machine. The blue tooth worked well except a set of speakers that may be out of range. I tried phono in and groundeired,but it is better using line in. Not only tgat,but bluetooth only works when set to line in. No problem. Dust cover is nice looking and durable. The light included is nice. I have an extra from my now defuncted dj turntable. The first lp I tested it with was a dusty 1960s a and m label pressing. It passed.I learned I had not set the weight correctly by testing that one.It thumped. Once set very low noise on phono setting,and none on line in. 45 rpm tested great. Beach Boys on a Capitol mono swirl sounded awesome.It was like hearing it the first time. I tested a 78 that was a 1951 flexi promo on RCA by the 4 Tunes. It passed. Oy minus is the lack of a 78 headshell with cartridge. I have one. Good deal and good sound.

First thing worth mentioning is I've had this one vinyl Salvia Plath "The Bardo Story" that always skipped on my favorite track "House of Leaves" since the day I bought it - like a brutal serious of skips that just butchers the experience. I got it back in 2013 brand new and it always had this issue. Over the past 10 years I have tried to play it on various turntables and it always skipped no matter the grade of the turntable. I even recently tried it on my friend's Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK - didn't work out. Well, not with this turntable. There was a little surface noise where it usually goes "all to hell" but otherwise no skipping and it was the first time I got to hear the song fully. After this particular LP played, I knew I was golden with the rest of my 300+ collection since this one was the most problematic one I have. The other perk I noticed is the body of the turntable is pretty solid and I was surprised when my cat jumped up and stepped on the cover lid and the tonearm didn't jump on the vinyl....there was no painful skip... still "GET DOWN!" But that's pretty impressive. I love the sturdy quality and weight of this turntable. It doesn't feel light and cheap. This turntable is also aesthetically very nice - it looks good in my living room. Another big perk is the little attachable light that shines on the needle so you can see what you're doing in the dark when placing the needle. I like to have my friends over for projector and music night and it was awesome having the little light and not needing to turn on the living room lights to properly place and drop the needle. Didn't even really think this was something I needed, but it really does help if you like low light settings for your listening sessions. More turntables should have this feature. The Bluetooth connectivity is a nice touch too. I love being able to connect my Bose NC700 headphones at night in order to not bother anyone if I want to play my vinyl. I still line in my main speakers, but it's a nice feature to increase listening flexibility. I can connect my JBL speaker and take it to the kitchen when I want to cook and play a vinyl. Overall this is an excellent turntable for the quality without having to pay 1-2k. I've been committed to collecting vinyl for 12 years and it was time to get something better. If you're serious about collecting and value your collection, this is a good product to consider if you're looking to upgrade and improve your listening experience. I probably had this turntable in my cart for 2 years debating if it was necessary and I can now say I should have bought this thing sooner when it caught my eye. A+++

This is the turntable to get. I've spent years with other turntables converting my vinyl into digital with results that I didn't think were as good as they could've been. This turntable isn't that much more expensive, but it's worth every penny is terms of sound quality. You get 3 outputs: Analog (line-out or Phono RCA) USB, Bluetooth. All work well. For USB, the audio is up to 48khz 16-bit. On a Mac, that's what it is by default. So either set your recording to that level, or change the level by going to the macOS Audio Midi Setup app in Utilities . You can use the free Audacity software, or any other audio software to make your recordings (I happen to use Sound Studio). Yes it works well with Intel or M1 Macs. As others have mentioned, the turntable looks nice (and more expensive than it is), but it does have some less expensive components. I'm all for that though. I want good quality recordings of my vinyl as the top priority, durability and functionality as a secondary considerations, and then a distant last would I care about things like plastic/wood/etc..., especially if it still looked really nice. It does have a lot of features that you don't see in turntables at this price or less, but they're all functional and relate to quality output. For example, some turntables don't have line-out. Some don't have speed indicators or quartz timing. Some don't have high precision tone arm weight adjustment or anti-skate adjustment. This has all of that. More little things that I really like... the feet are adjustable so you can perfectly balance it on a surface that might not be 100% balanced. They also not only shock absorb, but suction if placed on a smooth surface. I have mine on a glass desk, and it's like as if it's permanently attached (unless I twist the feet). There's also a nice needle light so you can drop it precisely on tracks, and of course it's a true turntable, meaning that you can stop the motor and turn the platter by hand to cue or scratch. CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS AWESOME!!! I had some technical questions regarding both macOS and Windows. Email responses were swift, detailed, and customized, making sure I fully understood the answers to my questions. Customer support gets an A+. Thanks Brent!

An excellent turntable, love it! Plays smoothly and without a hassle. Great sound quality.

This is a beautiful instrument. The instructions for how to set it up were clear and in less than 20 min we had it up and running with an LP. I love how basically everything is adjustable or can be changed, from the head to the exact play speed to the output mode (Phono or line or Bluetooth). Clearly it sounds good out of the box, but you don't need me to tell you that. I got it on sale, so for $100 off MSRP it is incredible value. The main drawback is that there is no auto-repeat function, so when the record ends it will just keep spining the disk and the arm will hang out in the center of the record forever until you stop it manually. Not a deal breaker, considering the other features it has. I bought a separate head for playing 78s which is yet untested but it does seem like changing the head is incredibly simple, which is another plus.

Let me start by thanking Amazon for accepting the return of a turntable I bought by mistake. That purchase was the non-Bluetooth version of this turntable. The main reason for this review is to clarify the confusion around the connections in the back. It took me 4 hours to figure out. There are no clear instructions with the included paperwork or at the website. Hope what I have learned will be useful to others. Power up/down: It takes 1-2 seconds for the turntable to lock at 33 1/3 rpm speed. 45 and 78 takes less than 3 seconds. Turn off takes similar amount of time. The lock is solid. After about 2 minutes of observation no drift was noticed. TONEARM: Is similar to earlier generation of Technics and Audio Technica designs. It is lightweight. I couldn't hear any resonances while listening to broad spectrum music. CARTRIDGE: The supplied cartridge is entry level VM95E moving magnet. Requires 2 grams of load. The sound is excellent. Much lower vinyl surface noise compared to my older V15 III loaded to 1.25 gram on my other TT. I listen to classical music. I have had a number of cartridges over the years and this sounds the best of them so far. PHONO/LINE Selector: This switch is located next to RCA jacks on the back panel. PHONO setting: The output is picked up from the cartridge and must be connected to the amplifier phono input for RIAA equalization. The Bluetooth and the USB output have no signals when switch is set to PHONO. Bluetooth may connect but there will be no sound. LINE Setting: The output is available through RCA jacks, and either BT or USB, BUT NOT BOTH. The RCA jacks in LINE mode must be connected to any non-RIAA input on the amplifier such as tape or CD but NOT PHONO. The music through USB appears as a digital input ready for other applications on the laptop such as AUDACITY. BLUETOOTH PAIRING: Only possible when selector switch is set to LINE mode. I was only able to pair a headphone. I tried to pair a laptop (with headphone turned off) but was not successful. WEIGHT: is around 18 lb. Not much lighter from my Technics SL150. CONCLUSION: 3* for BT and 3* for not being user friendly to a beginner. 5* for being competitively priced. 3* for poor documentation. 5* for sound quality. I would have preferred no switch in the back and 2 more RCA jacks - one PHONO and one LINE and all outputs available simultaneously. Let the user decide which outputs to select and where to connect them. Bluetooth connectivity to a laptop will definitely be a good enhancement. There is an interesting choice in the connecting confusion. You can listen through the RIAA equalizer in the turntable or use the RIAA in the amplifier. The turntable equalizer sounds better to my ears than my amplifier!

I'm an audio engineer, and I just wanted something to spin some records on. Looks wise, absolutely beautiful. Looks like a clone of something much more expensive. Features wise, it has it all. The only thing it doesnt have is auto return. But that's really not something I needed. Bluetooth connects nearly instant. Bluetooth sound quality is excellent. Exceeded my expectations. For the best quality, the RCA connections are awesome. The pre amp is warm and has a very smooth bass tone. Direct drive means no belts to replace. Quartz and speed controls work excellent. I ran a tap counter against a Prof album and the same track on digital. Timing was spot on. Not even 1 bpm off. I've got some deep dives that probably shouldn't be played. Almost every one of them has played fine. Overall, I'd rate this as the closest thing you'll get to a pro level turntable, without paying 3 times the price. Definitely, worth the price. On records like Daft Punk, you'll hear some finite details that you've never heard before. If your into home audiophile levels of sound, this may be the one your looking for.

This turntable has all the features you would want at a fairly reasonable price when you consider all the other options out there. I started off with a suitcase turntable and there is no comparison. You won’t have to worry about your records skipping with this turntable as it includes a counterweight adjustment and an anti-skating adjustment. I particularly enjoy the Bluetooth feature for private listening. I highly recommend this Audio Technica turntable. You will appreciate its quality build and looks.

Ignore the guy complaining about "not automatically return after the end of the album". Clearly didn't do any research before purchasing this amazing turntable. Solid record player for the price, and great Technics SL1200 alternative.

Mi è piaciuto nel design e nel funzionamento

Esse toca disco é muito bom. Recomendo.

This record player is simply incredible. The sound is terrific and clear. I have some old records that are sometimes scratched and used to skip on my old turntable, but they play perfectly on this one. The Bluetooth connection is also excellent and allows for listening without any noticeable loss of quality.

Como he indicado en el título, este es un tornamesa perfecto para armar un setup de audio Hi-Fi "barato" (recordemos que el equipo de audio de alta fidelidad es un lujo) y a la vez tener opciones de mejora a futuro. Adjunto los pros y contras que he encontrado durante su uso. Pros: - Brazo modular. El brazo es compatible con un sinfín de cartuchos, esto debido a que posee un conector semi universal de 4 polos, lo que permite que compres otros cartuchos con su respectivo headshell compatible, y sólo los intercambies. - Motor Direct Drive. Tiene bastante torque, su control digital permite una actuación inmediata y es sumamente preciso. - El cartucho incluido AT-VM95E/H es en extremo competente, tiene buena fidelidad, medios definidos, agudos decentes y un bajo claro. Perfecto para apreciar mejoras de calidad si lo comparas con cartuchos de entrada como el ATN91 - Gran capacidad de ajustes. El peso ajustable en el brazo, las patas ajustables en altura para mantener la linealidad del aparato en cualquier superficie y el estrobo para verificar las RPM lo hacen bastante sencillo de ajustar para cualquier cartucho Contras: - El bluetooth no se puede apagar físicamente, si en 60s no se emparejó a ningún dispositivo, se pone en modo hibernación, pero no se apaga. Un switch físico de apagado hubiese sido ideal para ello. - El chasis es de plástico, que sí provoca un poco más de resonancia de la esperada a pesar de la base de aluminio - Slipmat de tela. Creo que hubiese sido un gran plus el que el slipmat incluido fuese al menos de goma, ya que el incluido es de una calidad bastante inferior respecto al resto del paquete ofrecido, ya que es el mismo que se da con tornamesas económicos como el AT-LP60X-USB. En resumen, este tornamesa es la mejor opción si te interesa adentrarte en el mundo de audio Hi-Fi sin gastar demasiado, con buenas posibilidades de mejoras en cuanto a cartuchos y agujas, y con ventajas como conexión inalámbrica y posibilidad de digitalizar tus vinilos gracias a su conexión USB. Como dato extra, NO pagues más de 7800MXN / 350 USD (después de impuestos y tasas de importación)
