Audio-Technica LP140XPBKEUK Professional Direct Drive Manual Turntable Black

Fantastic Turntable solid build great sound high-quality 👌 👍

My Grandson got me back listening to vinyl again and after making a careful decision went for this model. The 140 is rated as a DJ turntable but I took no notice of that. It is a great direct drive turntable with a very good all round stylus. Later I may upgrade to an Ortofon stylus but right now this turntable is blowing me away. I now have a selection for old and new Vinyl and the player treats all with the same warm and lively production. This player will not disappoint.

Looked at a lot of turntables for a while. I realised that I wanted to adjust the arm height to be able to use different mats and cartridges. I had my reservations on having a conical stylus however I have been surprised at how good it sounds. It's produces a nice good bass and a warm middle which for me is ideal. The clarity and tops end is missing abit however I am playing 50 year old records which all have groove wear. I am finding that this conical stylus is making the records sound very clean. The vintage linear technics I have come away from you could hear every pop and crackle this seems so much better.The turntable was easy to set up and is very solid.its a heavy unit. I'm looking forward to years of service from it and will add some upgrades in time but for not I'm just enjoying as it is. The slip mat is a pain it's going to get replaced very soon. It comes off the platter with the record.

It had no USB connectivity as stated when I ordered it otherwise turntable is really good.
