Review on Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB turntable black by Ahmad ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

For a long time I wanted a normal turntable after a ten-year break with Concert-304 > 2022-323 > Vega-206. And in order not to bathe with capacitors, and other containers, which are characterized by drying out and non-solder in Soviet technology. Approached. Maybe later, someday, I will change the needle to a variant with a Shibuya sharpening or something similar, but now there is no need for this a priori, the device itself does not bring any "gifts" from itself into the sound, the main thing is to look for normal media, and problems like those will not occur.

Pros
  • Direct drive, and quartz speed compliance - no need to think about belts, the speed is always linear, and can be adjusted; Support 78 rpm; Head holder and pickup head (quite normal) in the kit - no need to run anywhere to buy something, everything is already set up at the factory
Cons
  • Short RCA cord - 20 centimeters, probably enough butt The needle holder in the pickup head is made of aluminum (well, the cantilever is aluminum, as the reviews tell us without designation, what does this mean and what is it for) - easy to bend, scary to break - be careful There is no hitchhiking and auto-ascent at the end of the disc, I immediately remembered Unitra G-602, that one even had a hitchhiking.
