Review: Solid TT at a fairly good price - a good place to discover or rediscover vinyl - this is my first Quality TT. I haven’t had a TT for about 40 years - growing up my family had an all in one Kings Point stereo system with Cassette, 8-Track, Vinyl (fully auto) - had a handful of records - but by the time i had any money to purchase music - i bought cassettes due to the popularity of the Sony Walkman and on the go music. Then CDs came along - like some/most people i ditched the vinyl - fast forward i ordered the LP120xusb - there happens to be alot of versions of the LP120 model from Audio-Technica and it can get quite confusing. This is the latest iteration of the LP120 - there are come features that A-T abandoned with this one. i don't know a whole lot about turntables - but the set up is fairly easy - i looked on Youtube where A-T gives instructions on how to set up the tone arm and with the counterweight and the anti-skate. There's also prevalent old information out there that says the Anti-Skate doesn't work on the LP120 - the internet has a way with keep some seriously old info out there - as well as Youtube. The anti-skate does work - no i didn't perform a blank CD test or a blank test with a blank vinyl - i know the anti-skate works because when i was setting up the counter weight for the tone arm (my anti-skate was dialed in at 2 per A-T instructions) - i was supposed to dial the counter weight back to 2 grams (that is the recommended weight for the cartridge) but i forgot to do that - i was going to play a record but when i try to place the needle right above the start groove - it kept swinging right and would not lower because i had my anti-skate dialed to 2 but i neglected dial the counter weight to the 2 grams necessary for the proper set up. Once i did adjust the counter weight it was fine. The supplied pre-mounted cartridge was already aligned at the factory so all i needed to do was to insert the cartridge and tighten the mount and i was ready to go. Alot of negative opinions on the build quality - i found it nice and pretty solid - it's not a chintzy feel - it doesn't feel cheap to me. feels fairly hefty given its size - as it should be for stability. body is made of plastic but the platter is aluminum and it is solid. Sound quality is decent - of course it also depends the pressing of the vinyl as well - but i did notice some distortion at the higher frequencies - i listen mainly to movie scores and my collection is going to be just predominately movie scores - i would say that the higher frequencies are somewhat muddy - maybe my set up is wrong or i could use a upgrade in stylus and/or cartridge - Bass and midrange no issues- sounds great. It plays 33,45,78 - for this iteration they got rid of playing reverse so i'll never know if "Paul is Dead" since i cant hit the reverse on this one. i don't have any 78 records but it's there if i need it. The TT is direct drive (no belt) and it is quiet - Zero motor noise - i turn up the volume on my receiver (Yamaha R-N803) and all i hear is the noise floor - i'm really impressed with how quiet this thing runs. they do not include a disk for the free Audacity freeware - the site you need to go to download this freeware is audacityteam.org -- in the youtube instructions A-T gives it as AudacityTeam.net - that being said it is given correctly in the instruction manual. if you to rip vinyl and use audacity please note that on the Lp120 you have to switch in the back to say "LINE" - unless of course you're already switched to LINE (instead of PHONO) because either you are running it with active (self-powered) speakers or you are using an amp/receiver that does not have a dedicated PHONO input. I was going to go with Sony PH-x500 (400) because of the hi-res ripping capability but decided against since you'll also be recording the pops and clicks in hi res - figured the LP120xusb would be more than adequate. plus it left me a bit of money to actually buy some vinyl. i love this turntable - looks good - sounds good - if you're looking to discover or rediscover vinyl - this is a good place to start. thanks for reading Edit: after about a month using it. I found myself just listening to the limited amount of records I have and I haven’t touched any digital music file. I have listened to CDs though. I’m not sure what it is about it that has captured my attn. Also on another note. Now having more experience listening to records. I feel that these new vinyl are getting pressed directly from a digital source- I have no problem with that however they really should remaster it specifically for vinyl. The medium is different each with it own subtleties. I think the last Tomb raider score by Junkie XL was not mastered correctly for vinyl so the high end sounds “crunchy” still a good score however. You might take the above edit with a grain of salt I don’t know anything about producing music or any aspect of it. I do like to listen though! Edit 7/6/19. I find myself not really using the usb audacity rip function. It’s like I’ll listen to the vinyl rather than ripping it and using that recording digitally. I just rather listen to the vinyl. Edit 7/15/19 - this weekend i listened to 4 movie scores on vinyl on headphones - running the yamaha r-n803 receiver headphones (sennheiser hd650, beyerdynamic dt770 250Ohm, beyerdynamic dt880 250Ohm, - the 650 was on the warm side and so was the dt880 - it paired well with the DT770 giving it a bit more on the high end. edit 8/12/19 - this weekend i found 3 records from 30-40 Years Old- an old stash of mine from the 80s. (don't judge haha) 2 debbie gibson EP (1988, plays at 33.3RPM) - Foolish Beat EP and Staying Together EP -- and The Empire Strikes Back LP (1980). oh boy Foolish Beat it sounded exceptional - 30 year record - some surface noise and a bit dusty but oh boy serious fidelity - this thing sounded like it was pressed yesterday i swear.. The Empire strikes back - the vinyl was warped but it tracked well and playable - a bit tinny but overall for a 40 year old record it sounded good on the Audio Technica 120XUSB - seriously ZERO regrets on going with Audio Technica 120XUSB. great bang for the buck. Edit 8/20/19 added new “medley” video. Remember that the music has been compressed and also it was taken with the iPhone X. Edit 10/21 last weekend by brother dropped by. He was just staring at my system - I was playing daft punk discovery and he said whats this? They record is pressed exceptionally- He couldn’t believe it was vinyl. I mean he hadn’t heard vinyl for 40 years- he was surprised but I don’t think I conveRted him to vinyl due to the insane prices. edit 10/28 - someone mentioned a wobble on the comments section - i see what may have cause it to look like a wobble is the dots on the side of the aluminum platter that may not have been manufactured straight perhaps or the record itself may not be 100% flat. i'm 100% satisfied with this player - 250 - not alot of "investment" but a whole lot of joy - i wish they pressed the records with better precision and with less dust...... 11/7 edit. I’ve been paying closer attn to the platter. There is a bit of a wobble yes - but it hasn’t affected the sonic performance Most of the records here I used the supplied felt mat which was not 100% flat. I have since replaced with a Hudson acrylic mat. 11/26/20 - i'm listening to this right now.. still going. at some point ill have to change the needle... I releveled my turn able and while the platter is flat and level some of my records are badly pressed. Still love it tho! 5/12/21 - im still listening to it - just got an outboard phono stage for it iFi zen phono. still sounds good! 5/26/21 - I upgraded the cartridge and stylus at-vm95ml. Good stuff. ## Features - Experience the high-fidelity audio of vinyl - Direct-drive DC servo motor with selectable 33/45/78 RPM speeds - Fully manual operation featuring adjustable dynamic anti-skate control variable pitch control with quartz speed lock and balanced S-shaped tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control and lockable rest - Convert your vinyl records to digital audio files by downloading and using the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software (or software of your choice) - Includes USB cable detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male) AC adapter 45 RPM adapter counterweight felt mat and removable hinged dust cover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07N3S4X3P | | Additional Features | Adjustable dynamic anti-skate control, Balanced S-shaped tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control and lockable re, Built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier for phono- or line-level output, Fully manual operation; Selectable 33/45/78 RPM speeds, Professional-grade anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat | | Best Sellers Rank | #27 in Audio & Video Turntables | | Brand | Audio-Technica | | Built-In Media | Turntable, USB cable, detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male), AC adapter, 45 RPM adapter, counterweight, felt mat, and removable hinged dust cover | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Speaker | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,868 Reviews | | Cycles | DC Motor | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04961310148751 | | Included Components | Turntable, USB cable, detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male), AC adapter, 45 RPM adapter, counterweight, felt mat, and removable hinged dust cover Included Components Turntable, USB cable, detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male), AC adapter, 45 RPM adapter, counterweight, felt mat, and removable hinged dust cover See more | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17.8"L x 13.86"W x 5.57"H | | Item Type Name | Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB), Fully Manual, Hi-Fi, 3 Speed, Convert Vinyl to Digital, Anti-Skate and Variable Pitch Control | | Item Weight | 9140 Grams | | Manufacturer | Audio-Technica | | Material | Aluminum | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 78 RPM | | Mfr Part Number | AT-LP120XUSB-BK | | Model Name | AT-LP120XUSB-BK | | Model Number | AT-LP120XUSB-BK | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal Format | Analog | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 100 dB | | Special Feature | Adjustable dynamic anti-skate control, Balanced S-shaped tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control and lockable re, Built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier for phono- or line-level output, Fully manual operation; Selectable 33/45/78 RPM speeds, Professional-grade anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat Special Feature Adjustable dynamic anti-skate control, Balanced S-shaped tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control and lockable re, Built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier for phono- or line-level output, Fully manual operation; Selectable 33/45/78 RPM speeds, Professional-grade anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat See more | | Style Name | Wired | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 110 Volts, 220 Volts | | Warranty Description | 7 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Speaker - **Item Weight:** 9140 Grams - **Material:** Aluminum - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 78 RPM - **Model Name:** AT-LP120XUSB-BK - **Style:** Wired ## Images ![AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB), Fully Manual, Hi-Fi, 3 Speed, Convert Vinyl to Digital, Anti-Skate and Variable Pitch Control, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Z-XF+7ChL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Ok,..in plain english,...can i plug this tt into external speakers? that's all i want it for. if yes,...what type of speakers?** A: Yes you can... The turntable has a built-in preamp. You want to buy powered speakers. They sell tons of them now. The best I have heard were KRK powered speakers. To get a good idea of what’s available, check out the needledoctor or crutchfield websites. **Q: So, since this turntable has a built in preamp, does this mean I can use passive speakers? Or do I need powered speakers?** A: No. You'll need powered speakers or you'll need to plug it into an amp to use passive speakers. "Preamp" = pre (before) amplifier. Preamps and phono amps take the very low signal from the stylus and amplify it to a level that an amplifier can use. AND (the reason record players need phono-specific preamps instead of a standard preamp) the preamp/phonoamp also decodes the RIAA format that all albums since the 1950s use, which is proprietary and needs a specific type of decoding to play the music. **Q: I have always owned belt drive turntables. I have read that direct drive can be noisy. How is this one as far as rumble?** A: Rumble is not referred to on the manufacturers website. The signal to noise ratio is stated as greater than 50dB. That means the rating could actually be only 51dB but the exact number is not stated. Here are a few specs copied and pasted from the website. Motor - DC servo motor Starting Torque - >1.0 kgf.cm Wow and Flutter - <0.2% (WTD) @ 3 kHz (JIS) Signal-to-Noise Ratio - >50 dB Output Level - Pre-amp “PHONO”: 4 mV nominal at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec Pre-amp “LINE”: 240 mV nominal at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec **Q: Will this play an old 78 slate lp?** A: Yes, but you may want to buy a stylus (needle) or cartridge made specifically for your old monaural (mono) 78s. The stylus and cartridge that come with this unit are for modern stereo recordings on vinyl. The stylus itself might be damaged by use on old 78s. Changing styli and cartridge is a fairly simple process on this turntable, and styli and cartridges are easily available at many stores, as well as online. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality *by E***S on March 9, 2026* I think this turntable is a great product.

Listening to those amazing songs over the decades, they became a part of me, expressing my heart's desire of holiness in Christ and my soul's longing to be pleasing to Him in all that I do in life. They express my joy and my pain, my hope and my confidence in the Lord Jesus. The music refreshes and encourages me, helping me refocus my life on the true priorities. The genres include rock, country, pop, rhythm-&-blues, jazz, classical, and even disco -- all by Christian artists performing their music to the glory of God. Up until recently (early 2025), in order to play my LP's, I relied on the turntable of my Victrola entertainment console that I bought about 3 years ago for less than $200. The sound it produced from the built-in speakers was passable, but I was happy to at least have a record player to hear my music again. After a couple of years the turntable began to malfunction, and since late 2024 I've not been able to play my records, which was a huge frustration to me. So you can understand why I decided to search online for a replacement, an upgrade to a dedicated turntable that I could connect to a reliable amplifier with speakers I already had but didn't really use. After reading up about several alternatives, I decided that the best turntable to suit my needs and aesthetic taste was this Audio-Technica Direct-Drive USB Turntable, model number AT-LP120XUSB-BZ. Amazon's $429 price strikes me as completely reasonable, considering the excellent quality of this turntable and of the sounds it produces. After listening to several albums on the Audio Technica turntable, I've been spoiled by the amazingly clear, crisp, and dynamic sounds the turntable produces from my records. Even a couple of LPs that, for some inexplicable reason, used to skip a lot on the first 2 or 3 tracks on each side when played on the Victrola, now play without any skipping! Right now, as I type this, I'm playing one of those formerly-skipping albums, and it hasn't skipped once! I'm anticipating it will be the same with the handful other albums that used to skip on the Victrola's turntable. Purchasing this Audio-Technica turntable was a fabulous investment indeed. The blessing it's already been to my soul has been well worth the cost. - CZG ## Frequently Bought Together - Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB), Fully Manual, Hi-Fi, 3 Speed, Convert Vinyl to Digital, Anti-Skate and Variable Pitch Control Black - Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS Power - Big Fudge Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit - 4-in-1 Record Cleaner Solution - Includes Ultra-Soft Velvet Record Brush, Cleaning Liquid, Stylus Brush and Storage Pouch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/115534423-at-lp120xusb-bk-direct-drive-turntable-analog-and-usb-fully](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/115534423-at-lp120xusb-bk-direct-drive-turntable-analog-and-usb-fully) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
