Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Turntable ~ Unboxing & Setup ~

Hi everyone!

It's been a long time....
I hope you're all keeping well and 2023 has been a good year for you all so far!

I am back with an unboxing of my new vinyl player, the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB.

Lots of you recommended that I get a new vinyl player, and lots of you recommended this exact turntable. Due to financial boundaries and life getting in the way I hadn't had the chance to invest in a new player until recently, when that all changed.

Expect to find new videos of lots of cool and unusual gaming vinyl coming your way soon!

Turntable details:

AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Fully Manual Turntable

The AT-LP120XUSB features a new DC servo direct-drive motor, along with adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and selectable phono preamplifier. The fully manual turntable plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and is equipped with a USB output that allows direct connection to your computer. Just download the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software (or software of your choice) and start converting your vinyl singles and LPs to digital audio files.

In addition to its convenient USB output, this direct-drive turntable also features a detachable dual RCA output cable and built-in selectable phono preamp so you can connect directly to your home stereo system, whether it has a dedicated phono input or not. The turntable features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phono cartridge.

Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.

Additional features include a die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat; a start/stop button; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-8% or +/-16% adjustment ranges; a stroboscopic platter with speed indicator; a removable plug-type stylus target light; external power supply; and a removable hinged dust cover.

I'm so glad you went with this brand I'm proud of you getting this

[jean-lucclark]

Welcome back Phoenix O-Pinion! I can’t wait to see what unboxings and discussions you have in store for us in 2023… maybe (crossing fingers) something Final Fantasy XVI related?? Again so happy you’re back and hope that you and all your loved ones are doing well.

One thing I would do for sure is move those speakers away from the turntable as it does not have the best isolation and if a feedback loop is caused it will probably blow the speakers.

Yesss!
Let’s goooo! Your records and ears will thank you!

[OfficialJab]

Hope you're doing well. Great video and I love that particular record!

[lauracorbett]

I'm glad you got an Audio Technica record player that's great quality

I had this exact same turntable. It is an excellent machine, great value for money. One thing to note is that it comes with an AT-VM95E cartridge. There is an upgrade path for this, the EN, the ML and the SH. They will all make a big difference. I went for the ML as it was best for my budget, Since then I have tried the EN and, to be perfectly honest, there is not a lot in it. So I would now suggest the EN if your budget is tighter. The SH is good, but I do not think it is worth the extra cost. Anyhow, great choice made, you are going to have a blast with it :D One last thing, the built in phono preamp is surprisingly good.

Next Friday is my aunt Paula's birthday and I'm gonna get her the lilac Audio Technica LP60XBT as a birthday present

Can't wait to see what Skyrim sounds like on this baby. 😊❤️

Curious to know how the TT has held up. I'm looking to upgrade in the near future and I've been eying this one for a while now.
