Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK Wireless Direct-Drive Turntable, 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 2.5The 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.

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.

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+++
