Audio-Technica AT-LP70X Automatic Turntable (Black/Bronze)

This is a very good entry-level turntable.It comes with a VM95C cartridge which is one of the best values in cartridges under $100. It sounds good out of the box and will not damage your records. If you pair this with receiver or amp (like a Sony, Cambridge Audio, or Yamaha that’s under $400) and a pair of bookshelf speakers from Sony (SSCS5M2) or Klipsch Reference Seties, you will have a great system for focused near-field listening or casual background music.ItIt’s not going to compete with turntables that cost 2, 3, … times more. But it does well for the class it is in. Audio Technica makes other units that compete in higher categories.I have another Audio Technica unit, the AT-120USB, that is fully manual and has served me well for over a decade. I wanted another unit with auto return so that I could play records while entertaining and not worry about damaging a record (or stylus) if I couldn’t get to the turntable shortly after a record finished.It did a great job for several months but after having my AT-70X for nearly a year it started to have an issue with skipping on several records. I researched online and found that it was a known issue and covered under the warranty. I filed a service ticket on the Audio Technica webpage and in 2 days I got shipping box with instructions on shipping it back to them at their expense. When I filed the ticket, their customer service indicated that they would either fix it and return it to me or send me a new unit. 10 days later the shipment was delivered to me and it was a new unit. No hassles. No additional costs. The new unit sounds as good as the old one before it had issues.While it’s true that Audio Technica is not a boutique brand with that makes equipment with bespoke components, they make equipment for people who are looking for good value, and they stand behind what they sell.In full disclosure I have other more expensive manual turntables from other brands that sound as good or better than my Audio Technica stuff. But they are more finicky and require more attention to keep them going at their peak level of performance.For entry-level and casual listening, this is a very solid unit. The tone arm is compatible with their full line of VM95 cartridges, making it easy to upgrade over time.

As someone just getting into vinyl, I couldn't be happier with the AT-LP70X. The fully automatic operation was one of the biggest reasons I chose it. Being new to records, I was honestly nervous about manually lowering the tonearm and accidentally damaging the stylus. The auto start and auto stop completely remove that worry, making it a much more enjoyable experience.I also love the design. It has a clean, modern look, but still feels timeless. The black and bronze color combination is elegant and looks right at home in my listening space without drawing too much attention.Setup was simple, it sounds fantastic, and it's made getting into the hobby stress-free. If you're looking for your first record player, I highly recommend this one. Easy 5 stars.

I absolutely love that this one has the ground stud. I use vintage gear and this turntable is a definite upgrade over my old LP60X solely for that reason. Also its output being RCA over Aux is nice. The player also has a switch to use the phono-preamp if your hooking this up directly to speakers, but for me its just set to phono (since I've got a receiver).The rest of the player functions how you'd expect it. It sounds fantastic and the automatic functions work as you'd expect them to. So far every record I've got that I've played on this has worked with no issue. 10/10 player for the price, highly recommend.

perfect family turntable. fair price and easy to use.

A very nice entry level turntable! Audio Technica definitely makes a solid product. The fact that you can easily upgrade the stylus on this model makes it a big improvement from earlier models. I would recommend this to anyone who is just getting started collecting vinyl records.

I really wanted to like the Audio-Technica AT-LP70X. It looks great, sounds good, and is incredibly easy to use. Unfortunately, reliability has been a major disappointment.My first unit developed a persistent skipping issue, repeatedly looping the same 1–2 seconds of music about halfway through a record. This happened across multiple clean records, regardless of volume. I returned it for a replacement, only to experience the exact same issue just 3 days later.Two turntables with the identical problem raises serious concerns about quality control. It’s frustrating because I genuinely enjoyed this turntable when it worked. After two failed units, I’ve lost confidence in this model. Disappointing, to say the least.

Bought this from my daughter she absolutely loves it. No complaints.

Performance is good, did have a little noise but reduced with album weight.

This is my first turntable and I’ve been really enjoying the Audio-Technica AT-LP70X. It’s a great turntable for anyone getting into vinyl or someone who wants a simple setup without a lot of fuss.The automatic operation is one of my favorite features. It makes playing records easy since it starts and stops with the push of a button, and I don’t have to worry about manually moving the tonearm every time. Setup was quick, and it was up and running in no time.The sound quality is impressive for the size and price. Records sound warm, clear, and detailed, and the VM95 series stylus gives this turntable room to grow if I ever want to upgrade in the future. The built-in phono preamp is also convenient because it makes connecting to different audio setups much easier. I currently have it hooked up to some Logitech bookshelf speakers.The overall build feels solid, and it has been a great way to enjoy my vinyl collection.This is a fantastic choice for beginners or anyone who wants a reliable, easy-to-use turntable that still delivers great sound. It’s simple, looks good, and makes listening to records enjoyable.

Hace unos 4 años empecé con los vinilos rescatando los que tenían mis padres comprando una tornamesa básica económica todo en uno que me ha servido bien desde entonces y decidí dar el paso a comprar una de mejor calidad pero a un precio accesible y después de ver reseñas videos y publicaciones de muchas marcas y modelos llegue a la elección obvia con esta bella consola, y me encanto no me arrepiento la estoy disfrutando mucho.Ojo no trae bocinas ni Bluetooth tienes que conectarlo por cable a un equipo de sonido externo o adaptable. Ya mas adelante subiremos el nivel con la marca a un modelo mas avanzado... mientras creo que es una gran compra...

Agulha leve e precisa. Fácil montagem. Som impecável. Automático. Para quem gosta de vinil e quer investir em um equipamento de qualidade, indico.

El producto llegó bien, en su tiempo indicado, bien protegido, y todo en orden.Solo me llegó con un detalle menor en el plato, como si se hubiese raspado el material con algo. Pero fuera de ahí, el funcionamiento y estética 10/10

This seems to be the go-to option when starting out with a new setup. I can see why sounds great works great feels great. Zero complaints. You could spend a little less and go to the 60 x but I think this one looks a lot better and full auto functions. Also comes with a better cartridge/stylus. It's a no-brainer.
