The AT-LP3 fully automatic belt-drive turntable lets you take your analog listening experience to the next level with advanced features not typically found on automatic turntables. The balanced straight tone arm comes with a 1/2" mount universal headshell and AT91R Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge, giving you excellent high-fidelity performance, plus the option to use other moving magnet or moving coil cartridges of your choosing. A hydraulically damped lift control allows the stylus to be precisely and safely lowered and raised at any point on a record. Yet the turntable also offers fully automatic operation, so you can simply press the Start button to begin play and the Stop button to lift and return the tone arm and shut off the turntable (the stop function occurs automatically when a record has played all the way through). The AT-LP3 is constructed of anti-vibration damping materials that limits low-frequency feedback. Resonance is further reduced by the turntable's die-cast aluminum platter and accompanying 4 mm rubber damping mat. Equipped to play both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records, the AT-LP3 features a built-in switchable phono preamp and an attached dual RCA output cable that enable it be connected to a home stereo, powered speakers and other components whether they have a dedicated turntable input or not.

My husband loves it. He has played it almost every day. He loves that it is automatic. So glad you got it in it is the one he really wanted.

Love this turntable.

It’s so great, sound and style is awesome

Fantastic!

Solid, no brainer setup. Sounds good, nice to know it is upgradeable, but happy with the dummy proof operation.

Audiotechnica AT-LP3

Sounds great and plays some records perfectly that skipped on my other record player.  I had some confusion setting it up regarding the counterweight, but Audio Technica was very helpful and provided great customer service to help me fix the problem.  
I especially love the fully automatic function, so I just push play and the arm places itself onto the record perfectly

Sounds Great

Overall very pleased and would certainly recommend, but this deck certainly needs an arm clamp and a dedicated power button

Excellent low price deck

Your not going to find a better turntable with every feature of a expensive turntable and have it be fully automatic. And it has a great lid I don't think it gets better then this

I love this record player

This is a great automatic turntable. The features, clean design, and sound are amazing.

Best turntable I have ever owned

It is built very well and works flawlessly. I like the features of this turntable and it wasn't hard to set up. If you are looking for an upgrade from your basic turntable this is a nice one to have.

Very nice upgrade from your basic turntable.

I had to put it together myself and the instructions were unclear if i could give it a 0 star rating i would, ruined my birthday and i spent all of my money on good speakers to pair with it now they're useless. The only thing I can say is good is that it looks cool other than that it's terrible.

I would never buy this again nor would i recommend it

If Audio Technica doesn't know what they have, why should anyone else. I've added a Vessel Line Contact cartridge (one of the best). The arm should actually be called a universal (length) and same with the headshell (added silver to white turntable). It is as good as the equipment you use it with. I have a very good ($400) external phono pre-amp. The sound is as good as a $1000 turntable, and it's automatic. It has the best automatic drop (concise) I've ever seen on an automatic. Most people wouldn't treat an inexpensive turntable as it if isn't, but that's what makes me different. I added an acrylic mat to replace the stupid rubber one, and it improves the sound significantly and also stops vibrations from reaching the stylus. I highly recommend this turntable (with updates) as long as you don't get one with speed control issues, and that should not happen with a servo-controlled DC motor. I added an external on/off switch with hand controller to the plug end ($16) and it eliminates a main issue.

As good as you make it.

I have wanted a turntable for a few weeks and tried to do my homework.  I am just starting out and just wanted something that I could play my Dad's old records on.  This turntable has met all my expectations and for the price, this has been exactly what I wanted.  Setup was easy and would recommend to others.

Just what I wanted for my first turntable

I don't understand what has happened to my turntable.... LPs that I have known for years are running "Fast" .... not 45rpm fast... we're talking a speed that does not seem right... I'm considering taking CD releases of what I also have on vinyl  and playing them side by side....  This just happened recently, no problems with the turntable until now....  I feel the tracks are rushed, the pitch is off on multiple LPs.... the whole thing is troubling.  Please tell me how to adjust this turntable to a real 33&1/3 rate of travel.... something has changed on this turntable within one year of ownership.  I wanted a fully automatic turntable, belt drive, like my old B&O that ran for almost 30 years.  This turntable, after less than a year, has me wondering if I made a mistake buying an "affordable" turntable.
