Customer Ratings & Reviews

works great, sounds great. haven't tried connecting it yet to the computer. i guess it'll put your record tunes on the computer with the right software ( not included). also as a warning, everything with this turntable is manual. i didn't know that when i bought it. you have to move the tonearm with your fingers for on and off. no auto anything. old school. my 1978 Technics turntable did all that but not this one.

It's great getting back to "old school records.This turntable has thus far done a great job of doing just that. It's was an easy add-on to my existing receiver due to the built in pre-amp. The stylus produces great sound, so long as the tonearm is adjusted and balanced correctly. This is a totally manually operated unit, having to lift arm when record finish's playing. Reminds me of the good old days.

After looking at a lot of record players, I decided on this one. Has the features and tech I was looking for, and the price is very good. This is a great value. And the sound is great! My daughter bought one after hearing mine!

Great quality for the price. Was very easy to put together and ready to use. Paired nicely with my home theater in a box. Some have stated the tca cables are attached. I can confirm they do plug in and can be unplugged from the unit.

The turntable was easy to put together. The sound is great. I'm playing all my old LP and they all sound like the day I bought them. I recommend this turntable to anyone its a great buy.

Easy to set up, with USB and regular audio hookup to receiver. Even plays 78's. So that was great to listen to my Grand Fathers recordings that we done in 78 speed. Would recommend.

I already have a classic technics direct drive turntable. This is a very decent replacement. I needed to pickup a workhouse turntable, one i would use everyday and not have to worry about price and expensive parts.

This is the first turntable I have purchased since abandoning vinyl about 30 years ago. My primary objective is to use it to transfer old LP collection to digital. And I wanted a turntable that will do a decent job of capturing the source material faithfully. This turntable will do that job very well. But it is also nice enough to enjoy for those times when I want to queue up an LP to listen to some music "old school". For the money, it is better quality than could be purchased for the same $$ back in the day.

I love this turntable! It was a bit tricky to mount it, but apart from that it doesn’t skip, it flows through the records. This is my first turntable and I am very happy with it. It’s a good buy for beginners.

I decided to get back into vinyl and so I shopped around high and low. This is about the best all around turntable you can get. Most of the issues from previous models have been dealt with. I got it on sale for $225. One thing to note, if you have a subwoofer in the same room, you should remove dust cover for player. Sometimes I could get away with just raising it up, but if the record has good base on it, it would build up a howling sound (which is just feedback), and it gets really bad if you lower the dust cover. So I just set it on the player when not using it, then lift it off completely when playing records. I put some little felt pads on the rear so it does not scratch anything. Cartridge is excellent for this price range.

This turntable allows to directly connect to passive speakers without an amp, the setup is easy as there is a video online, there is a dj feature also , the sound is equivalent to turntable at higher prices

Bought this after a disappoint from an online company on the previous model. This model is missing a couple bells and whistle compare to the previous model, but I can live without them. Overall thoroughly pleased with it. Went to the manufacturer's website and downloaded the manual as you get a quick start pictograms for setup. It took me about 30 min to setup and that includes downloading a protractor to double check cartridge alignment from Vinylengine.com. Put on a new christmas album I bought and was totally surprised by the sound I heard. Then I dug out my albums my jr.high and Highschool says that have not been played in 40 years. What can I say, I would recommend this turntable and buy it again if needed

This turntable will blow your mind! Crystal clear sound, built in amp, affordable! Every bit as good at Technics 1200 which costs a LOT more! Pair with Edifier 1700BT monitors and you're set!

Good quality sound and love the option of digital or coaxial set up. Have it connected to my 1978 Pioneer six-737 and really works well. Have not tried to turn vinyl into digital files yet. With the dust cover hinges had a little more movement in the so that the dust cover could be opened farther other than that really like the product.

Bought this as a replacement for an earlier USB turntable. I've been involved in a project digitizing a large number of vinyl records and the Audio-Technia has been excellent in that effort.

Bought this to play my old LPs. The sound is really great! Instructions easy to follow if you read them first! Forgot the ground wire but figured it out evidently. Take time to balance.

After several years of using an all-in-one turntable/cd/cassette/radio system (also purchased from Best Buy), I wanted to upgrade to a truly good turntable. This one seems to be billed as a kind of "mid-beginner's" model among audiophile reviewers but I think it's a step up from that level. Getting the tone arm balance and anti-skate adjustments right took some doing. The effort paid off, though. I coupled the turntable with a Sony amplifier/receiver and have been enjoying my LP record collection played with good fidelity from the comfort of this stable yet sensitive turntable. Now I just need to find a CD player and cassette tape deck to complete my system.

I really love my audio-technica turntable. Perfect sound, durable materials and easy to assemble. I recommend this turntable for everyone who desire a perfect sound with a great brand.

Works and sounds great. I had no problem hooking it up to my old stereo system or plugging it into my computer. Cartridge is decent and easy to balance on the tone arm.

This has been an excellent turntable for the price. Very easy setup and plays smoothly. I recommend it to anyone looking to update their setup without breaking the bank.
