Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable

This is the 4th record player I have owned since I started buying records as a kid back in the early 80's. I spent about 2 hours researching turntables on the internet. It seemed that this was a good alternative to the $500 Technics. And it truly is!! I have never heard my records sound like this. The unit weighs a ton, which is a testament to how solidly it's built (even despite the rough treatment at the hands of UPS it held up!!). I have not experienced any of the problems noted by other reviewers, it's the perfect product for me. I am listening to it right now in fact. It's like rediscovering all of my records again. I have been somewhat of an audiophile for the past 20+ years. I am a musician as well. And I am very impressed!! It's very exciting when a product lives up to ones expectations, nay, surpasses them!!

This turntable shows how far this mode has come. This is a well-built piece of equipment, easy to install and use, and does a great job on making those old LP's sound great. Well worth the money.

I bought this turntable for my dad so he could listen to his records. It was easy to set up and worked very well. Glad I got this one and not one of the cheaper Sony's or the USB turntables. It has all speeds 45, 33 1/3, and 78. The ability to easily change cartriges is there. It hooked up to his recevier easily, and has the built in pre amp so I didn't have to buy and hook up a external one. This turntable sounds great, has well built constrution, and has most if not all of the extras you need. (Strobe, tracking, weight adjustment, pitch control). I listened to several records and I thought it sounded great, you get such a rich full sound from vinyl. If you want a good turntable for a great price I think this one is the way to go.

This turntable is everything we expected and more. It is very well built and easy to use. We are very pleased with the sound quality.

WOW! I really researched buying a turntable to not only play my old LP's, but that had a phono pre-amp that would allow transferring those analog recordings to cd or mp3 format. This is a fantastic turntable for the money. I remember all of those great turntables from the 70's and the AT-PL120 is just as good if not better. Assembly was straight forward, just follow the directions. I was playing the turntable in about 15 minutes. Sound is awesome, very heavy and well constructed.
