AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB), Fully Manual, Hi-Fi, 3 Speed, Convert Vinyl to Digital, Anti-Skate and Variable Pitch Control, Black

STUNNING Quality from Audi Technica with the AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive Turntable..The moment I felt the weight of the body..I knew this would be an exceptional listening experience & I wasnt disappointed. On the optics..this turntable is beautiful and it is equally matched by the stunning audio quality.. Prior to this new TT II had a basic entry level Audio technica t/table and it was excellent..However this deck is just a huge step up in class...Ive played a variety of genres and different ages of vinyl from the 1960's to 2026..and they equally sound great..I had one LP that has deep scratches and would skip on the old t/table with this new one It rides over them and plays 95% true to the end..The set up was easy as 1,2,3..There was some trepidation about purchasing this after reading many thumbs down reviews which we cannot fathom..Super thrilled with this t/table it just strengthens my deep love of music played by the miracle of the vinyl record..which deserves the best of reproduction

I was on the hunt for a vintage stereo system at a decent price, but I had to have that retro vibe and sound with separate external speakers. Based on a recommendation from a local record store employee, this was in her top 3 options. I wanted the external speaker option to get that sound I’ve been chasing and it delivered. The item was delivered on time, and the packaging was perfect. Everything arrived in tact and it performs as I hoped. It took me a minute to set it up properly, but I was anxious LOL. My old records sound amazing, and the speakers are what takes it over the top for me… it sounds so good. The speakers are also Bluetooth, so you can stream for your wireless devices. The turntable is solid, you can tell it’s a quality item vs. the big box retail garbage. The speakers are a little larger than a desktop speaker, but small enough they fit on the table. I don’t regret the purchase.

After 27 months I’m actually pretty happy with the LP 120XUSB. A great sounding deck. The tone arm can easily handle multiple head-shell combinations, MC and MM. I have used the factory installed-AT VM 95E, AT VM 95EN, AT VM 540ML, Sumiko Pearl, and currently the MC, Denon DL 110. All have sounded and worked great; the Denon DL 110 and AT VM 540ML take it to another level. Just make sure you completely reset the tracking force and anti skate for each cartridge, and also use a protractor for the proper alignment of the cartridge. The anti-skate seems slightly off, so I use a blank disc to get it balanced; generally, if the tracking force is 1.8, then the matching anti-skate is just under the number 1 on my deck. Another way to check is when the needle hits the record runout after the last song, it should gradually work its way over to the record label, not rapidly. I don’t agree with the manufacturer saying match the tracking number with the same anti-skate number, example 2 and 2, it’s not accurate. I also use a digital tracking scale for absolute accuracy, and it’s very close to the tone arm counter weight number. I have used four different outboard phono preamps, and the included built in one. The Art DJ II, Emotiva XPS Gen 2, Pro-Ject Phono Box DC, and currently the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2, which has a very precise sounding presentation. Using an iPhone Wow and Flutter app, and laying my phone dead center on top of a very small and lightweight record weight, placed over the spindle, the RPM is almost always perfect at 33.2 or 33.3. Wow and flutter fluctuates between .05-.07, which is better than the published stats. Just make sure the ground wire is securely fastened down, with a screwdriver. I get zero noise and feedback, just great sound, and of course the better the mastering of the record the better the sound quality. Clean your records frequently. I paid $300 for my deck in November 2022, and for the price it’s a fantastic deal. The weaknesses are pretty small relative to the price. The plinth has hollow spots upon tapping, it’s mostly plastic but seems fairly durable. However, it is weighted inside with steel inserts to keep the deck stable and insulated from noise. The tone arm clip is a little flimsy, be carful. The platter is not rubberized or dampened underneath, but at $300, this is totally acceptable. That’s it, some have called the table chintzy, but for anything under $500 I disagree. Honestly, the deck is extremely quiet, and with my ear right over the platter and power on, I hear absolutely nothing.

I just received my new AT-LP120XUSB-BK turntable, after realize a purchase I made of an Eonsix crappy bare bones device which was literally a piece of junk, in spit of the initial thought I bought it just to easily transfer some lp's to a memory stick was all I needed, but the renewed audiophile in me, along with just some basisc standard requirements, like actually having the product I purchase, work as expected (which the Eonsix DID NOT, but this AT-LP120XUSB-BK MOST CERTAINLY DOES! !, made eating the cost of that other piece of junk a little more palatable for me. First off, to say this turntable is a good entry level TT for beginners I would have to say, eh? maybe a beginner who has an idea of what setting up turntable up and knows how to balance a tone arm, set anti-skating & such up, if your not really familiar with those tasks, or afraid you may send your needle crashing to the platter & screwing up the stylus, then you may want to steer clear of this item. For those who absolutely know the difference (and can hear it) between a decent TT, with better than average stylus, this is for you! The item came packaged new, and well. Took me all of about 10 minutes to unbox & set it up, & start playing some vintage 45's and albums from my collection. Symbolically - the first 45 I chose to place on my new TT was Eric Clapton's "Hello Old Friend", because it's truly nice to hear vinyl again! The build of this turntable, everything from how it's packaged and the accessories provided, wreaks of quality & thoughtful'ness for the end user to enjoy a quality listening experience. Years ago, I owned a Techniques SL-1200 Mark 2 TT which was the pride of my listening experience, coupled with a stanton 500EEE cartridge (considered to be pretty decent/broadcase standards at the time), so when I realized that piece of junk Eonsix TT wasn't going to cut it for me from a feature or performance standard, I realized I'd have to up the budget & go for something that was familiar to me from a standards & performance spec, and with a heritage name that I felt I could trust, & that's what lead me to purchase the AT-LP120XUSB. What I have learned in life and hold true for this purchase, you get what you pay for! This unit will put a small dent in your wallet, but you're getting a fine piece of machinery with a solid build, a very decent, reasonable stylus that sports some decent spec's, the added bonus of being able to play records (if you needed to) at 78-rpm, which (to be honest, I'd have gladly forgone if they provided a better (read as higher quality) 45-rpm adapter, the -ONLY- downfall of this AT-LP120XUSB-BK I can find, is the plastic 45-rpm spindle that came packaged with the unit, I mean really, which when you consider all the other features packed into this unit, is almost insulting, because everything else just wreaks of quality, so I'm sure if Audio Technica ordered a couple hundred thousand quality metal 45-rpm adapters, the price they could have received to ensure every accessory that came packaged with this device would be 100% up to spec, would have had more of an impact than say, including the ability to play 78 rpm records, because seriously, in this, the 21st century, & for the demo this turntable is targeted to, who's really going to utilize that feature. In an earlier iteration of this device, my understanding from researching the turntable, they have a reverse play feature. Really?.. like, were they expecting devil worshiping anthrax or beatle fans to be desiring to play their platters backwards and risk screwing up their needles ? or was it an ingenious marketing ploy to get people to order new styli when the ones that came with the device broke from playing their albums backwards? Well anyway, the reproduction of sound from the AT-LP120XUSB-BK is AMAZING!, I'm utilizing a new set of PreSonus monitor speakers, the Eris E3. 5 and they sound GREAT with this turntable, I utilize the turntables line out setting which drives the signal for the speakers wonderfully, & the audio quality is really warm, rich & wonderful. I would highly recommend this turntable (and even those speakers for that matter) if you're looking to dive head first into the ankle deep waters of enjoying vintage vinyl, -OR- (like me) desired to revisit your vinyl collection and utilize a worthy turntable which will spotlight the sonic excellent of your audio collection, and do justice to it. If the AT-LP120XUSB turntable lasts as long as my old SL-1200 Mark 2 did (which easily had to be 20 years, and being heavily used at that, I think I replaced the stylus on that TT about three or four times, and only 1 cartridge change out when you couldn't but just the 500EEE styli separately any longer, I'm hoping at my age now - this will be the last turntable I'll wind up buying, which will bring me at least as many (and hopefully more!) years of enjoyable audible pleasure.

I have a big collection of classic 1970's and 1980's Contemporary Christian music LP records. Listening to those amazing songs over the decades, they became a part of me, expressing my heart's desire of holiness in Christ and my soul's longing to be pleasing to Him in all that I do in life. They express my joy and my pain, my hope and my confidence in the Lord Jesus. The music refreshes and encourages me, helping me refocus my life on the true priorities. The genres include rock, country, pop, rhythm-&-blues, jazz, classical, and even disco -- all by Christian artists performing their music to the glory of God. Up until recently (early 2025), in order to play my LP's, I relied on the turntable of my Victrola entertainment console that I bought about 3 years ago for less than $200. The sound it produced from the built-in speakers was passable, but I was happy to at least have a record player to hear my music again. After a couple of years the turntable began to malfunction, and since late 2024 I've not been able to play my records, which was a huge frustration to me. So you can understand why I decided to search online for a replacement, an upgrade to a dedicated turntable that I could connect to a reliable amplifier with speakers I already had but didn't really use. After reading up about several alternatives, I decided that the best turntable to suit my needs and aesthetic taste was this Audio-Technica Direct-Drive USB Turntable, model number AT-LP120XUSB-BZ. Amazon's $429 price strikes me as completely reasonable, considering the excellent quality of this turntable and of the sounds it produces. After listening to several albums on the Audio Technica turntable, I've been spoiled by the amazingly clear, crisp, and dynamic sounds the turntable produces from my records. Even a couple of LPs that, for some inexplicable reason, used to skip a lot on the first 2 or 3 tracks on each side when played on the Victrola, now play without any skipping! Right now, as I type this, I'm playing one of those formerly-skipping albums, and it hasn't skipped once! I'm anticipating it will be the same with the handful other albums that used to skip on the Victrola's turntable. Purchasing this Audio-Technica turntable was a fabulous investment indeed. The blessing it's already been to my soul has been well worth the cost. - CZG

Bought this on prime day to replace my Retrolife turntable. If you want a breakdown of that sumbeach, check my other review, it's a perfectly cromulent record player for beginners, if it's on sale, you got prime points, and Grandma remembers your birthday. Now, I'll be frank, I'm not an audiophile, but I like to listen to music on the format it was originally released on, and I've enjoyed the hobby of record collecting for the better part of 20 years. I've owned a few turntables in my time, and this one is the first one I've owned that sounds its price tag. On top of that, prime day deal was $200, I threw $50 in points to it and it was basically highway robbery. I threw on my copy of Gaucho for a test run (yeah, sure, Aja is the ""gold standard""" Steely Dan album, sue me, Glamour Profession is the more slickly produced than anything on Aja. JK Aja rules.) and she sounded golden. What also sounds golden is Ween's Twelve Golden Country Greats, which is an absolute BANGER of a country album. Got that sumbeach from my brother on Christmas in like 2012. If country's not your jam, they just rereleased Chocolate and Cheese. Go check it out. Recently, I went back and listened to two of the first albums I've ever bought, Devo's New Traditionalists and Oh No! It's Devo! and they sounded better than they've ever had. Anyways I can't speak to the Bluetooth or computer functionality, that's not why I bought it, but I'd you have a mid 70's Pioneer receiver and refurbished Bose 601's, it sounds amazing. Pros: Sounds good - most important Counterweight is superb. Direct drive - you're gonna get a consistent speed. You could probably DJ with it? Sick little light so you can select tracks on the dark. Definitely a high fidelity turntable. Highs, lows, all points in-between. You will hear things you've never noticed. Cons Direct drive can create interference with the sound quality. However, only dweebs will notice, or care, and won't be reading the drunk ramblingings of a madman in the Midwest. On Amazon dot com. You will want to isolate the unit. Bass viberations can and will be picked up by the needle. This is good practice in general. What I did was take the cutting board with furniture feet and isolate my speakers. All in, $25 or so. Not to shabby. Cost, it's pricy, but a deal and a half on prime day. No auto return. What is this the time of Charlemagne? (Kid Charlemagne is the opening track on Steely Dan's The Royal Scam. Great album, go check it out. The Fez has some killer Rhodes Piano.) Kinda ugly? Overall would recommend. I'd wait until it's on sale to buy. Direct drive may be an issue for you, but if it is, don't care. If you're a Gen Z girl boss, new to the hobby with a fresh copy of Brat, go buy the Retrolife, on sale of course. For the love of God don't buy a Crosley because of its ""Aesthetic"". That's how they got my generation. That WILL destroy your "total retro" copy of 1989 (great album BTW), just like my old man's copy of Dark Side of the Moon. If you're an aging millennial who wants to get the best out of that tired copy of Titus Andronicus's The Monitor, this is the turntable for you. Sophomore year of college never sounded so good. Also don't call her. She's married with kids dude (it's OK, I still love u bb). I would also recommend to both of you all of Ween and Steely Dan's back catalog. Go check it out. Devo is good too. And 1989. This thing rules.

It had been a long time since I last hooked up a turntable, but when my old faithful one finally died, it was time to get a new one and this one looked perfect (it was the only one with 3 speeds and I have a bunch of 78s I also like to listen to). Finally, after working at it in my spare time, I managed to get it hooked up and it sounds great. However, there are a couple of things that a possible buyer needs to know: 1. It comes disassembled and you have to put it together. The so-called Instruction booklet is next to useless. It will show you the basics - no words - just drawings and a 5-year-old could follow that. This is where it gets interesting. 2. There are pictures of parts on the Instruction Book (and I use that word loosely) which you may or may not find. They are taped to the outside of the packaging material which isn't someplace where you would normally look. I certainly didn't. Getting ready to ship it back for a return and refund, lo and behold! there were the missing parts! It took a while to figure out what each one was. And, unless you plan on hooking it up to a computer, there's a USB cable you won't need, so don't waste your time trying to figure out where to hook it up. 3. Now comes the fun part: hooking it up and getting it to play. At this point, you're going to want to Google the name and model number and download the pdf which tells you exactly what you need to do - in other words, there are written instructions, not just pictures. Had I thought of this earlier, I could have gotten it hooked up and working within a day instead of a couple of days. And, it would have helped if I had a new amplifier, but the old one works well, you just have to figure out what has experienced a name change over the years (see next sentence) - thanks to the pdf, that wasn't all that difficult. Then, because times have changed and wording that was used when I purchased the amp has been replaced by new wording, it took a while to get it to give me audio. I question whether pictures would have even helped. Finally, using the old hit-and-miss routine, I managed to get the right combo and the Bob Seger album I had on the turntable came blasting out of the speakers. Success!! Make sure the tracking is set at 2 and your vinyl should play great! If not, the pdf tells you what to do. Overall, since I'm not one of those people who needs a $1,000 system, I can listen to my vinyl again. For the person who enjoys kicking back and listening to their tunes on vinyl and who isn't one of those perfectionists, it's a good turntable to have - it looks good, works well and doesn't disappoint. Just download that pdf before you get started and save yourself some aggravation.

I had purchased a belt drive Victrola and was just never happy with it. Sound quality was marginal and lots of background noise. We are very pleased with this direct drive turntable on all levels. It was an easy setup.

Haven't got it working properly yet. Can't get the sound to work. But the set up was fairly straigtforward. Should have it all working soon.

I recently purchased the vinyl record player for my girlfriend and she has been extremely happy with it. The high-fidelity audio is a standout feature and the direct-drive, DC servo motor allows for a smooth and seamless listening experience. The ability to choose between 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds is a convenient feature, as is the adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and variable pitch control with quartz speed lock. The fully manual operation and balanced S-shaped tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control and lockable rest make this record player a top-notch choice for vinyl enthusiasts. One of the added bonuses of this record player is the ability to convert vinyl records to digital audio files using the free Audacity recording software (or software of your choice). The inclusion of a USB cable, detachable RCA output cable, AC adapter, 45 RPM adapter, counterweight, felt mat, and removable hinged dust cover make it an all-in-one package that is ready to use right out of the box. Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase and would highly recommend the vinyl record player to anyone looking to experience the high-fidelity audio of vinyl. It is a top-quality product that offers a seamless listening experience and added convenience with its digital conversion capabilities.

I’ve been using the Audio-Technica LP120XUSB for a few weeks now, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The build quality is excellent — it feels solid, well-engineered, and much more premium than most turntables in its price range. The tonearm, buttons, and platter have a satisfying heft that gives real confidence in its durability. The sound quality is equally outstanding. When paired with a good amplifier and speakers, it delivers a clean, warm, and detailed sound that truly brings vinyl records to life. The separation of instruments, clarity in vocals, and smooth bass response are all remarkable. You can really feel the analog warmth that vinyl lovers crave. I also appreciate the USB output, which makes it easy to digitize my records without compromising quality — a thoughtful addition that bridges vintage charm with modern convenience. The direct drive motor ensures consistent speed and quick start-up, while the adjustable tonearm and detachable headshell make fine-tuning and cartridge upgrades simple. Overall, the LP120XUSB is an exceptional value for both beginners and audiophiles. It looks professional, performs beautifully, and feels built to last. If you want a reliable, great-sounding turntable that respects the vinyl tradition while embracing digital flexibility, this one’s a winner!
