I grew up listening to music on vinyl and missed having a turntable. I was absolutely thrilled when I found this one online for such a good price. It was shipped safely, easy to assemble and has given me so much enjoyment that I highly recommend it to anyone who is new to records or an old guy like myself.
This is a great product for the price. Very well built and solid. Works as advertised.
The quality of this turntable is VERY impressive. If you are a novice, expect to spend an hour + reading guide and properly setting up turntable. It is extremely well built. Requires some intitial set-up.don't expect plug and play. Lots of great features for the price and it is very attractive. I would definetly recommend this turntable to all.
The bass is tight, yet pronounced, the mid-range is warm, and the treble is neutral and clear.I decided to try the turntable with a Belari VP129 tube phono pre-amp. The Audio Technica PL-120 looked like a great idea as I was replacing my first turntable: Pioneer PL-12D which was fun, but I wanted more accurate speed (less wow and flutter) and reliability.The Audio Technica PL-120 turntable is solidly built. The combination is very good. It weighs about 25 LBS and is not prone to vibration interference from speakers.Out of the box, the unit connected and operated flawlessly. I've used the phono input of my receiver and used the aux input while using the built-in phono pre-amp with no hum problems.The sound quality of the included cartridge is very smooth and open. I highly recommend this to anyone getting into listening to records, or archiving them.The combination brings the music alive, and I just prefer to enjoy the natural sound of the music.For those that want even better sound, the cartridge is completely upgradable. I think this turntable is a sound investment for stable operation and will blow away any "usb turntable" out there.
but a quick call to Audio-Technica customer service got a friendly free replacement part.I have NOT experienced any of the hum that others mentioned. Pretty awesome for the price.I will mention that the tone arm latch was broken right out of the box.
I am very happy with this turntable at that price. Right now, another seller is asking $500.Obviously it's a Technics clone, and hence has all the DJ features that I don't need.
I got this new through an Amazon seller for $119 (.). I have thousands of LPs that I've had forever, but they sound so crisp with this new turntable.
I had been using a low-end Technics turntable for the last 25 years and finally replaced it (although it was still working). Wow, what a difference.
It's just a flimsy plastic latch. Methinks they just didn't have the pre-amp switch set correctly.
