Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK Wireless Direct-Drive Turntable, Black

What a nice experience.I just got it today,and after experiencing a few Klinger I had that were once good but no longer useable,I have this.The thing was easier to assemble than I expected.The cartridge included is a nice one.You don't have to worry about upgrading right away at all.The ton arm was decent.I got the weight at between 2 and 2.5 grams and the anti skate set at 2 or 2.5The platter is durable.My old Esoteric Sound was nearly the same machine.The blue tooth worked well except a set of speakers that may be out of range.I tried phono in and groundeired,but it is better using line in.Not only tgat,but bluetooth only works when set to line in.No problem.Dust cover is nice looking and durable.The light included is nice.I have an extra from my now defuncted dj turntable.The first lp I tested it with was a dusty 1960s a and m label pressing.It passed.I learned I had not set the weight correctly by testing that one.It thumped.Once set very low noise on phono setting,and none on line in.45 rpm tested great.Beach Boys on a Capitol mono swirl sounded awesome.It was like hearing it the first time.I tested a 78 that was a 1951 flexi promo on RCA by the 4 Tunes.It passed.Oy minus is the lack of a 78 headshell with cartridge.I have one.Good deal and good sound.

I absolutely love this turn table. Excellent sound quality, looks great, and has options to upgrade as well. Very happy!

Should have bought this turntable the first time all was great 👍 setup a breeze

I'm an audio engineer, and I just wanted something to spin some records on. Looks wise, absolutely beautiful. Looks like a clone of something much more expensive.Features wise, it has it all. The only thing it doesnt have is auto return. But that's really not something I needed.Bluetooth connects nearly instant. Bluetooth sound quality is excellent. Exceeded my expectations. For the best quality, the RCA connections are awesome. The pre amp is warm and has a very smooth bass tone.Direct drive means no belts to replace. Quartz and speed controls work excellent. I ran a tap counter against a Prof album and the same track on digital. Timing was spot on. Not even 1 bpm off.I've got some deep dives that probably shouldn't be played. Almost every one of them has played fine.Overall, I'd rate this as the closest thing you'll get to a pro level turntable, without paying 3 times the price.Definitely, worth the price. On records like Daft Punk, you'll hear some finite details that you've never heard before. If your into home audiophile levels of sound, this may be the one your looking for.

Love it great price.

Let me start by thanking Amazon for accepting the return of a turntable I bought by mistake. That purchase was the non-Bluetooth version of this turntable.The main reason for this review is to clarify the confusion around the connections in the back. It took me 4 hours to figure out. There are no clear instructions with the included paperwork or at the website. Hope what I have learned will be useful to others.Power up/down: It takes 1-2 seconds for the turntable to lock at 33 1/3 rpm speed. 45 and 78 takes less than 3 seconds. Turn off takes similar amount of time. The lock is solid. After about 2 minutes of observation no drift was noticed.TONEARM: Is similar to earlier generation of Technics and Audio Technica designs. It is lightweight. I couldn't hear any resonances while listening to broad spectrum music.CARTRIDGE: The supplied cartridge is entry level VM95E moving magnet. Requires 2 grams of load. The sound is excellent. Much lower vinyl surface noise compared to my older V15 III loaded to 1.25 gram on my other TT. I listen to classical music. I have had a number of cartridges over the years and this sounds the best of them so far.PHONO/LINE Selector: This switch is located next to RCA jacks on the back panel.PHONO setting: The output is picked up from the cartridge and must be connected to the amplifier phono input for RIAA equalization. The Bluetooth and the USB output have no signals when switch is set to PHONO. Bluetooth may connect but there will be no sound.LINE Setting: The output is available through RCA jacks, and either BT or USB, BUT NOT BOTH. The RCA jacks in LINE mode must be connected to any non-RIAA input on the amplifier such as tape or CD but NOT PHONO. The music through USB appears as a digital input ready for other applications on the laptop such as AUDACITY.BLUETOOTH PAIRING: Only possible when selector switch is set to LINE mode. I was only able to pair a headphone. I tried to pair a laptop (with headphone turned off) but was not successful.WEIGHT: is around 18 lb. Not much lighter from my Technics SL150.CONCLUSION: 3* for BT and 3* for not being user friendly to a beginner. 5* for being competitively priced. 3* for poor documentation. 5* for sound quality.I would have preferred no switch in the back and 2 more RCA jacks - one PHONO and one LINE and all outputs available simultaneously. Let the user decide which outputs to select and where to connect them. Bluetooth connectivity to a laptop will definitely be a good enhancement. There is an interesting choice in the connecting confusion. You can listen through the RIAA equalizer in the turntable or use the RIAA in the amplifier. The turntable equalizer sounds better to my ears than my amplifier!
