Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB A terrific turntable for the money! This is an updated version of when it was released in 2009 hence the “X” in the model number. Did lot’s of research reading many reviews and rankings from audio sites and owners and this turntable overall was always ranked highly. Love it! FYI another great turntable for the money is the Fluance RT81 and their Reference Series. I purchased the AT120XUSB for the den and a Fluance RT for the bedroom. You can’t go wrong with either!

I STILL have all my records from when I was in high school and college...and I'm in my sixties now...and after thinking I would not be able to play them anymore, finding this great Audio-Technica turntable here was a literal way to reconnect with the memories from my youth. And in such a comprehensive way.... It has the all important grounded phono output BUT it also has a switch to toggle between phono and line output signals...this means you don't need a separate pre-amp. It also has a USB connection...meaning you can record your records to your PC or Mac with the right software. I have records you can't get at the iTunes store...so, yes. IT HAS A COVER!!! No more dusty turntable, swingarm, or controls. Yas. And it comes with a cartridge and the output switch means you can use any cartridge. Again, yas. I think I will go listen to some records now. :) ;) <3 <3 <3

This record player is awesome! The tone arm takes some serious patience, but other than that set up is very straight forward, was spinning records in less than an hour. Coming from a crosley with built in speakers, the sound is so noticeably better! Very happy with my purchase

Nobody ever responded to my e-mail regarding the wobble of it's platter, which I sent to the company. Would be better if someone got back to me so I could play albums without damaging them over time by using them on a wobbly platter (despite doing everything indicated both online that I was supposed to do, from all instruction sources at the time...) Also, uncertain if this has the wireless option others speak of. So yes, good for most beginners. Would be perfect if I could get someone to tell me how to fix the wobble in one spot of a full turn of the platter, or send a replacement platter if that happened to be a known manufacturing issue for my "batch" since I do not fully know what I am doing. Sounds absolutely beautiful on my uber minimal setup, far better than streaming. Love hearing all of the aural detail.

I would say this turntable is of the highest quality for the price. Comes with a stylus so you can start playing your vinyl soon as you set it up. Built in pre-amp or switch it off if you have your own. Overall very happy with this purchase!

I bought the Audio Technica AT-LP60 and had it for just a couple of days and returned it to get the Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB. There is a big quality difference. What I did miss about the LP60 is the automatic nature of it. I really like the new one but when it gets to the end of the album you better be around because you have to reset it manually. Unless I am missing something it will just get to the end and the needle stays on the LP and just goes round and round. But overall it is super nice and the sound is amazing.

Great upgrade from the original Audio Technica AT-LP120. Love the Black color. Better tracking, tonearm control, better stereo cartridge and stylus, better lighting. Better all around! This is a great turntable!

This is a great turntable for both budget minded and high fidelity music lovers. A middle of the road price with high end quality. Please remember that you with either need powered speakers or a pre-amplifier in order to enjoy this type of turntable. Best Buy delivery was excellent and on time.

Solid turntable. Love the design, perfect for beginners looking for quality, but also affordability.

I absolutely love my turntable ! Setting up might seem overwhelming, but I assure you it’s not and quite intriguing! If theirs something you should know before buying is you’ll need speakers ! I personally used the insignia indoor/outdoor speakers and they work perfectly for my room and super easy to set up but other than that that’s all you’ll need to start up !

You can spend more but this is one of the best values out there. AT offers several styli that will upgrade the stock stylus.

I’m sure there are better turntables than this one but I wouldn’t trade this one for the best made !

I purchased this after my vintage player bit the dust. I was very surprised on how will this player sounds. Once it's been setup put on a record and enjoy the tunes. For the price of the player you cannot go wrong.

There's not too much to say, other than this is well worth the money. The setup is easy. DO NOT skip any of the setup, it is critical.

Bought the black one it's good quality product I would recommend this turntable to complete your hifi setup.

I purchased this last year for my boyfriends 40th birthday. Paired with 40 albums to give his vinyl collection a nice little headstart, his living room has a sweet centerpiece. Not a day goes by where we arent spinnin some great tunes.

I needed a new turntable and this one had everything I wanted, it works Great

In the world of audio components, it’s difficult yo know if what you propose to buy does as advertised. Obviously it takes some knowledge of audio equipment and hifi sound. And since so many of us lack those skills we often purchase a product based on inaccurate info and find ourselves disappointed. Thus component is just the opposites. It actually exceeds as advertised. To begin with, the 120x is an update of the 120. The 120 was advertised as a professional turntable suitable for DJ use as well as home. In this update, Audio Technica decided to go with the home use side of the coin. They dropped all DJ functions such as reverse drive. They also listened to their customers by providing a phono line that is detachable along with a phono/line switch do one can use an exterior preamp and not the turntable’s built in preamp. A slightly improved magnetic cartridge is also included. Finally they dropped the price by appx $50. These improvements are fine, but most important is the sound. And in that area, It’s very good. It provides a sharp and broad sound. The lows are very warm but accurate. No over baring thumping here. The highs do not “buzz out”. The stereo separation is great. All the controls are a breeze to use. The tone arm balance, the downforce and anti skate controls performed well. I tested the anti skate force with positive results. The speed control and strobe reader worked perfectly. The stylus “light” was and probably will always be unnecessary, but it looks nice. The iso pads were easily adjusted to achieve balance. While doing so I could tell the pads provided excellent suspension. I purchased the black colored turntable which gives it a striking look. It’s pretty large compared to others in this category which lends it a retro look. It resembles turntables of yesteryear, the 1980’s. It’s pretty heavy and has a well made look. The fact is, this component does all it claims and more. It exceeded my expectations both in looks, sound, and construction. Highly recommend for both a beginner and one who like to spin vinyl.

You can't beat the convenience of plugging a USB cable into your computer, and recording your records. I've digitized about 5 records so far, with very good results. The reason I dropped to 4 stars is because there is no auto-return, and because it is about impossible to use my DiscWasher brush on a 45 rpm because the spindle adapter wont stay seated. Everything else is excellent - great build quality, easy to set up, looks gorgeous. I can't say how the audio quality compares to a good analog turntable, preamp, and separate A-to-D. I still have those things, but I haven't taken the time to set them up and compare to the results from the A-T USB turntable. So far I'm very pleased with the results, especially after I clean up the recordings in Adobe Audition (not included with the turntable). Overall, a good value and very good performer.

I was looking for a direct drive turntable and gave this one a shot. Had to YouTube setup because the manual was no help. Easy to setup. Sounds pretty good. Gave it four stars cause the verdict is not out yet. Price is reasonable. So far so good
