Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid for belt a drive auto arm and probably a better choice for those who’d maybe struggle with a manual (think the inattentive or kids) or for those who just want sporadic access to an old collection. But you’d probably be much happier with their feature rich model 120 direct drive manual if you’re really looking to experience the complete process of why you invest in vinyl.

My Grandaughter absolutely loves this album. We have actually enjoyed it together.

So far, I’m loving it! Was very happy to find one and pick it up the next day.

Great so far sounds okay but will need some external speakers

Awesome. Works perfectly. The Bluetooth connection is flawless with my Sonos.

Great starter turntable. Great features and does exactly what I need it to.

Turntable works well enough. When you can get it to pair to bluetooth speakers. But dont have it delivered. It comes with ZERO extra packaging. So all your neighbors will see you ordered an expensive piece of electronics as it sits on your doorstep. Do better Best Buy.

I absolutely love it. It looks great with my stereo system.

Excellent. Gifted a family member and they love it.

As vinyl becomes more and more popular again, it appears that turntables continue to be pushed out by a variety of makers. However, Audio Technica continues to put out superior products and with this turntable they fill that entry level marketplace perfectly! First, right out of the box you get that premium look and feel with this turntable. The build quality is not only for aesthetic reasons as the three piece construction and aluminum platter also aid in the sound quality as it dampens resonance. This three piece construction also makes setup extremely easy at the same time as you are essentially just placing the platter on the turntable and the drive belt is simply attached with a ribbon. It is an extremely simple process to which then you just plug the power in and pop the dust cover on and you are ready to go. The usability and performance is where this turntable really sets itself apart as it could not be any easier to use! For those new to turntables they have included the Bluetooth feature here where you can pair it to any speaker as you would your phone. However, they have also included the preamp built in so that if you do wish to use external speakers using the included RCA cables that is an option here as well. From a performance aspect, where this turntable sets itself apart is the phono cartridge. The audio quality here is superb and the included stylus is great when it comes to channel separation and low distortion. Also the ability to change out the stylus is a great feature here to customize your listening experience if you wish to jump further into the vinyl space. Overall, there is nothing further you could ask for when it comes to an entry level turntable to help you get your foot in the door when it comes to vinyl. The ease of use stands out tremendously here where it does not sacrifice sound quality and performance. Then the ability to upgrade the stylus provides the ability to venture into the vinyl space further without needing to upgrade your turntable. For that reason I would highly recommend this turntable to those looking to jump into the space or even if they are upgrading from their initial entry level turntable.

i was very happy with my purchase and the service that was provided

I got this as a present for my boyfriend and he loved it!!

I purchased this to use for some vinyls that I got from my grandfather after he passed away. It does the job adequately.

Good turntable for first one. No set up due to nothing to calibrate on tone arm. There are other brands that have anti skate and gram settings. Sound is ok for a simple to use table.

The start button had to be pushed several times to work after 3 days of use.

Great turntable. Requires an output speaker of some kind.

The instructions are straight to the point! It was the star of the night for sure!

Spend some time with us audio technical turntable, and I will say I’m a big fan of their audio stuff. This turntable really is a nice all-around turntable because you have the ability to upgrade as well as it has some nice beginner features to make it easy to start listening to vinyls. And once you do it, it’ll be like an addiction and you won’t be able to stop. I enjoy the features that it has. It is very easy to set up and get going. The turntable even has a play button that will automatically start the record for you. To be honest I am very used to just picking it up and using a hinge to drop the record so the play button was a little new for me. It makes it very easy to get up and go. I really do like the Bluetooth function because it allows a lot of flexibility with placement. I have had issues where I get too close to my speakers and it will vibrate so being able to just use Bluetooth is pretty nice. Yes I know Bluetooth is not as high fidelity, but it is a very nice feature to have. Also it is built very minimalistic, compared to the old versions. Definitely has a nice sleek look and feel to it. I do like that you can upgrade the stylus still. And you are able to play different sizes as well. Overall, this is a very good beginner turntable with a simple look and full of features.

this product has been an absolute delight to use, making it the perfect entry point for my journey into the world of vinyl. Right out of the box, the setup was straightforward, and I was spinning my favorite records within minutes. The ability to play both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records adds versatility, and the built-in switchable phono preamp is a fantastic feature, allowing me to connect it directly to my powered speakers without any extra components. The sound quality is where this turntable truly shines. The AT-VM95C phono cartridge, with its 0.6 mil conical stylus, delivers a warm, rich sound that feels true to the original recordings. I was particularly impressed with the low distortion and excellent channel separation, which brought out details in my music that I hadn’t noticed before. The option to upgrade the stylus to different models in the VM95 Series is a great touch for future customization. The design is sleek and modern, and the anti-resonance chassis effectively dampens any unwanted noise, providing a solid listening experience. I also appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of a detachable RCA cable, a 45 RPM adapter, and a removable dust cover. In short, the AT-LP70X offers everything I could want in a beginner turntable, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Five stars!

The Bluetooth is the main reason for my 1 star review. It was easy to use, but feels extremely cheap made. I sat it up and paired it with my home theater receiver with no issues. Put on an album and started to play it. The Bluetooth connection would just drop on and off during play. Not the player skipping as some people have said, but just playing the song and then random bits of silence. It would only be a second or two max, but still it kept cutting out like that throughout every song. I tested my receiver with my phone and iPad and the music streamed via Bluetooth flawlessly so it wasn't a case with the receiver. After attempting to listen to side 1 of one album and it doing that constantly I boxed it up and returned it.
