Anyone paying less than this for a USB turntable for converting LPs to files is not serious about quality transfers, IMO. This one does that and a little more. The built-in preamp means you can plug directly to any mini powered speaker, if that is your thing. I hate the grounding wire that is required with any phono connection, but it is not needed when connected to a standard audio input. That’s a plus. I needed to do a 78RPM transfer. An odd thing, I know. But the included 78 speed (rare) along with the AT 78 cartridge made for the best transfer for a 78 that is possible, also IMO.

The Audio-Technia AT-LP120XUSB turntable is stylish and attractive. There is minimum sound from the direct drive mechanism. Settings for RPM and tracking are easy set up and accurate. I could hear the improvement in sound compared to previous turntable I had immediately. A value purchase that provides the essential performance one can expect from a medium priced device. I am well satisfied with this purchase and the quality.

Excellent and solid player. Output level is a little low going into my receiver versus other record players I have had, though it is still ok. Sound is solid and accurate though it doesn’t seem to have the same nuance that some other players have. But for the price it’s a good compromise.

This update of the AT-LP120-USB turntable features a new DC servo direct-drive motor, along with adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and selectable phono preamplifier. The fully manual turntable plays 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM records and is equipped with a USB output that allows direct connection to your computer. Just download the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software (or software of your choice) and start converting your records to digital audio files. But in addition to the USB output, the turntable also comes with a detachable dual RCA output cable and is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp so you can connect directly to your home stereo, whether it has a dedicated phono input or not.
The turntable features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal 1/2"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.
Additional features include a die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat; a start/stop button; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-8% or +/-16% adjustment ranges; a stroboscopic platter with speed indicator; a removable plug-type stylus target light; external power supply; and a removable hinged dust cover. Available in black (AT-LP120XUSB-BK) and silver (AT-LP120XUSB-SV).
