Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK USB Turntable -Direct Drive - Fully Manual - USB (Black)

If you are looking for a do anything good quality turntable this new version is a great choice not in the league of Rega, Pro-ject and the likes but does a good job for little money and is easy to upgrade. I own both the AT 120 old version and the new AT120 version and basically the new version eliminates the problems with the old version but does loose some of the quality build found in the old version. The new version is lighter does not have the arm height adjustment and comes with a better AT cartridge fitted has phono jack's and a earth connection, the power supply is via a plug in adapter and the mains hum which the first version had has gone. I Recommend changing the cartridge for a better rounded sound I went for the Goldring E2 but any of the E series is a good choice there are many others available but go up in price as the supplied cartridge is bottom of the AT range. The photos show the two versions and the difference in tone arms. As to the first version it is still a great turntable but the niggles have been ironed out. Happy listening.

Calidad precio excelente. No utilizo el phono integrado, sino el de mi amplificador, y suena de maravilla. Tras nivelar bien el tocadiscos y ajustar el peso del brazo y antiskating suena de lujo. Revise la alineación de la cápsula y aguja y vienen clavados, está ya ajustada y no ha habido que hacer nada.

Das Gerät ist einwandfrei, auch schnell aufgebaut etc. Guter Klang auch. Steht einem Thorens oder Pro-Ject nicht nach. Bei der Entscheidung habe ich mich schwer getan, allerdings haben mich einige Beobachtungen bei Thorens und Pro-Ject dann doch dazu bewegt diese bekannte japanische Marke zu kaufen. Auch noch sehr günstig einen Direkt-Antrieb. Aber: Ich lese auch häufig das Kleingedruckte. In der Anleitung (nicht die Aufbau & Bedienungsanleitung, sondern die "Sicherheitshinweise") steht außer, dass man den Plattenspieler nicht draußen im Regen betreiben sollte zum externen Netzteil unter anderem: wörtlich - dieses Gerät sollte in der Nähe einer Steckdose platziert werden, damit Sie das Netzteil jederzeit schnell erreichen können -Trennen Sie das Netzteil in einem Notfall unverzüglich So einen Hinweis ist mir in Bezug zu externen Netzteilen noch nicht untergekommen. Muss ich mir jetzt sorgen machen? Ich werde wohl einen Dreifachstecker mit Schalter dazwischen schalten. Ich habe dem Produkt trotzdem 5 Sterne gegeben. Man sollte mit solchen Hinweisen nicht übertreiben. Vielleicht ist es ja nur eine neue EU-Verordnung für das CE Kennzeichen.....

Unboxing: This came in a much larger box compared to the original, although that was expected considering I asked for Amazon outer packaging. There was no 'Fragile' label on the box, so it is possible that it was mishandled (although nothing bad seems to have happened). Setup: The setup was extremely easy, with an included quick start guide. Essentially it comes somewhat disassembled, with the cover and plate packaged separately in the box. I did do a double take when I thought certain accessories were missing, and I had to flip through the styrofoam packaging to find them. There was a bit of a hassle trying to connect the power and AUX, and then flipping the entire player, but it was manageable with only one person (I am using a tall IKEA cube shelf unit placed a few centimeters from the wall). The only issue that I have is with the clearance needed to fully lift the plastic cover. I did not account for this when moving my shelf, and as a result it will hit the wall before fully lifting (keep this in mind with your own setup). When you get everything put together, they give you a recommended pressure and antiskate setting, which were very easy to adjust. General use and comments: I chose this because it looked really nice, and the black base colour matched the surrounding furniture. The weight of it helps keep it in place, and prevents it from shifting around when you touch it. The sound quality is pretty decent, with only a few cases where static was audible. This could depend on many factors, so I wouldn't assume its a normal thing. I have it paired with Edifier speakers (as shown somewhat in the photo), and they do a great job with playing the audio. Although this does come with the tempo slider, I find minimal use for it, although it is something nice to have. I think this is a very solid first choice for those getting into record collecting and playing. P.S. this model does NOT come with bluetooth connectivity, but it does include a USB to connect with your computers, and an 'adaptor' which lets you play smaller records (I'm not sure what the exact name for it is).

Il piatto che avevo precedentemente era un Technics sl-bd22 (ancora funzionante). Questo nuovo prodotto non me lo ha fatto rimpiangere minimamente. Rapporto qualità prezzo imbattibile per questa fascia di prezzo. Facilissimo da installare. Consegna puntuale, imballaggio super. La testina inclusa sembra di buona fattura e il suono è pulito e pieno, forse più avanti investirò per prenderne una di qualità più elevata, per il momento va benissimo. Ho provato sia l'entrata Phono con la messa a terra (cavo non incluso) che con la presa AUX, funzionano entrambe e non sento differenze rilevanti. Non l'ho ancora collegato al PC per la conversione dei file in mp3, ma non è una funzione che mi interessa al momento, vedremo più avanti. Primo disco fatto girare: U2 - The Joshua Tree...e niente, spacca come sempre.
