Review Summary

I use the LP8X as an input in a 2.2 setup with room correction. I can A/B between uncompressed digital and vinyl with pretty good level matching. Some records sound absolutely amazing, better than the digital, others well they are disappointing. Here's my journey. I had an LP-1240-USB with an AT120Eb cartridge and really began to enjoy it once I got it setup and aligned properly. As I started listing to more records I longed for a little more automation, so I didn't have to jump up at the end of every album. I bought the AT8X as an upgrade. The AT8X has been bulletproof at picking up the arm and stopping the player within a few revolutions. I upgraded the stock elliptical to the Shibata and it helped open up the mids and highs while making the bass more subdued and tighter. The RCA cables it came with seem very nice. The controls are simple and straightforward and the setup it came was pretty accurate. My biggest concern is that it seems like the Wow and Flutter is a little high. Measured with the 2 different iPhone apps it shows at ~.12-15%. Also when using a tuner app there is an obvious sign wave. Video attached. Would I buy this again, yes. I cannot hear the wow and flutter critically during music. It sounds great and the convenience of the semi automatic is great.

Take your vinyl listening experience to the next level with the Audio-Technica AT-LP8X Semi-Automatic Direct Drive 3-Speed Stereo Turntable. This sophisticated turntable is a testament to Audio-Technica's commitment to quality and innovation, expanding their renowned line of direct-drive turntables. The AT-LP8X features a newly designed tonearm lift that automatically raises the tonearm at the end of a record side, stopping the motor to preserve your vinyl collection.
The turntable boasts a J-shaped aluminum tonearm, a nod to the classic Audio-Technica models from the 1960s and '70s. This tonearm is equipped with the newly designed AT-LT10 headshell and the AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge, featuring a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus. This combination ensures excellent channel separation and low distortion, delivering outstanding tonal quality. For those who love to customize their audio setup, the stylus is replaceable and interchangeable with any of the five additional styli in the VM95 line. Additionally, the tonearm's VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and Subcounterweight allow for the use of a wide range of other cartridges.
The AT-LP8X is versatile, playing 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. Its 25 mm rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter is paired with a 2.5 mm rubber mat, driven by a sensor-monitored motor that guarantees consistently accurate platter rotation speed. The motor, along with its efficient internal switching power supply, is housed within a robust box plinth made of 16 mm MDF (medium density fiberboard). This construction, combined with height-adjustable feet, offers superior protection against unwanted noise and vibration, ensuring a pristine listening experience.
Included with the turntable are a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), a 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover, providing everything you need for a seamless setup. Please note that a dedicated SP cartridge or the replacement AT-VMN95SP stylus is required to play 78 RPM records. Elevate your audio experience with the Audio-Technica AT-LP8X, where classic design meets modern technology.
