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

Love it great price.

Excellent product great sound quality at the price point however, I’m sure there are other products out there that sell for thousands of dollars that probably do better with better stylist and better sound but for the price this does not sound bad at all for at least a starter getting into vinyl For the first time!

My purchase came from Waltz Tv, they have wonderful customer service. Before ordering I called about a question, they were very helpful. And once I received the turntable their support called to make sure I was satisfied. Wow!

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.

First thing worth mentioning is I've had this one vinyl Salvia Plath "The Bardo Story" that always skipped on my favorite track "House of Leaves" since the day I bought it - like a brutal serious of skips that just butchers the experience. I got it back in 2013 brand new and it always had this issue. Over the past 10 years I have tried to play it on various turntables and it always skipped no matter the grade of the turntable. I even recently tried it on my friend's Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK - didn't work out. Well, not with this turntable. There was a little surface noise where it usually goes "all to hell" but otherwise no skipping and it was the first time I got to hear the song fully. After this particular LP played, I knew I was golden with the rest of my 300+ collection since this one was the most problematic one I have.The other perk I noticed is the body of the turntable is pretty solid and I was surprised when my cat jumped up and stepped on the cover lid and the tonearm didn't jump on the vinyl....there was no painful skip... still "GET DOWN!" But that's pretty impressive. I love the sturdy quality and weight of this turntable. It doesn't feel light and cheap. This turntable is also aesthetically very nice - it looks good in my living room.Another big perk is the little attachable light that shines on the needle so you can see what you're doing in the dark when placing the needle. I like to have my friends over for projector and music night and it was awesome having the little light and not needing to turn on the living room lights to properly place and drop the needle. Didn't even really think this was something I needed, but it really does help if you like low light settings for your listening sessions. More turntables should have this feature.The Bluetooth connectivity is a nice touch too. I love being able to connect my Bose NC700 headphones at night in order to not bother anyone if I want to play my vinyl. I still line in my main speakers, but it's a nice feature to increase listening flexibility. I can connect my JBL speaker and take it to the kitchen when I want to cook and play a vinyl.Overall this is an excellent turntable for the quality without having to pay 1-2k. I've been committed to collecting vinyl for 12 years and it was time to get something better. If you're serious about collecting and value your collection, this is a good product to consider if you're looking to upgrade and improve your listening experience. I probably had this turntable in my cart for 2 years debating if it was necessary and I can now say I should have bought this thing sooner when it caught my eye. A+++

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!
