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

I was hesitant to purchase this due to the numerous negative reviews and YouTube videos about the skipping/skating issues. Still, I must say that I have not experienced any of those issues. The sound quality is very good and the manual function makes it extremely easy to use. This turntable may not be ideal for a true audiophile but it serves me well.

It's perfect for newcomers and fairly experienced Vinyl enthusiasts. It's not very customizable, but it has all you need.

Great quality and at a good price!

I am relatively new to vinyl collecting. I did a lot of research before deciding on this specific model. I chose this model because it is the happy medium between quality and convenience. As you get into more expensive turntables, you get higher quality parts like adjustable counterweights for dialing in the arm pressure, upgradable cartridges, etc, but you lose features like automation. A lot of more expensive turntables don't even automatically stop when the record is done. I know myself well enough to know I would not be observant enough to be ready manually raise the arm the moment the record is done. This one is fully automatic and sounds great. The stylus itself can be replaced but not the cartridge that holds the stylus. This cartridge is built in, but is a high quality. Another reason I went with this model is that it has RCA jacks, not built in cables, so you can use quality rca cables. It also has a proper grounding screw to ground it to your amp or preamp to eliminate noise. It also has a built in preamp that you can turn off if you are running it into an amp that has a built in preamp (it has dedicated phono jacks) or you are running an external preamp or you can turn the built in preamp on if you are running it straight into powered speakers that don't have a preamp. Anyway, if you are just getting started on researching turntables and are looking for the middle ground between quality and convenience, this is the one for you.

Sturdy, great quality turntable. The first one I own and happy that I got it. Feels solid and the audio quality it delivers is great.

I liked the fit and finish of the unit. Easy to set up. Basically plug and play. Sound was excellent. But I did send back. I am a stickler for perfection. The reason being the tracking force was higher than the recommended maximum for the cartridge. I sent an email to a company that sells nothing but turntable accessories and asked if this would be a problem. He said in the long run it could bend the cantilever or possibly break it. The tracking force would not have damaged the records. But I didn't want to take a chance of a problem arising, so I sent it back. I am still searching for a fully automatic turntable. Don't know if I will reorder one of these, or another brand. This is a well made unit, and I would still have it if not for the one problem.

Amazing sound quality, the turntable itself looks great as well

I wanted to get back into LPs after many years. This seemed like a good way to do so. When I first received the unit I was surprised at how lightweight it is and didn’t expect the main cabinet to be plastic. That is lack of research on my part. OK, what I was mostly concerned about was the sound quality. On quieter passages it sounded good. I did notice some distortion on louder portions of music, but thought maybe that is what LPs are supposed to sound like. A few weeks ago I decided to upgrade the needle (since the cartridge supports that feature). The new green needle didn’t sound any better and was skipping on virtually every record, so I returned it. Back to the original blue needle and the distortion has gotten worse, to the point of being unlistenable to me. There are no adjustments that can be made to the tonearm, and I am beyond the return period. Looks like this is headed to the garbage heap! Have ordered a Fluance RT-81 non-automatic turntable with the same Audio Technica cartridge with the green needle. It weighs more than twice as much as this model and has tracking adjustments. I hope I have a better experience with it.

Me encantó el diseño y el audio es bueno para el precio. Bien empaquetado y fácil de armar. Mejoraría los materiales un poco pues el cuerpo es plástico y daría mejor sensación un recubrimientos metálico sin embargo estoy conforme

Toca-discos maravilhoso e super funcional. Atendeu perfeitamente ao que eu estava procurando. E a qualidade sonora é incrível.

Funciona sin problemas, se arma fácil, y múltiples opciones para cambiar aguja. Es perfecta.

Amazing out of the box performance even with the Blue VM95 Stylus. I will be upgrading to Red ML Stylus eventually, but the sound is great for now. With the option to swap stylus’ with any of the VM95 series in minutes is an amazing feature. The table spins at a steady speed, and the auto play/stop feature is smooth. This has a built in phono preamp, but I had the tube preamp laying around and I like the warmer tube sound, tried the built in and it sounded fantastic as well. Would purchase again, recommend this if you’re on the fence.

Ela é boa. Vi muitas críticas negativas sobre ela, mas comigo até agora está ok. Estou com ela a quatro meses e funciona perfeitamente. Mas tenho algumas ressalvas, o tapete do disco solta muita fibra e acaba ficando preso na agulha o que faz o som ficar estranho e a gente tem que ficar limpando. Se a caixa de som for uma das boas recomendo não deixar no mesmo lugar dela por que a trepidação do próprio som faz pular a agulha. Vi algumas resenhas gringas que é so comprar um tapete de qualidade e trocar a agulha por uma superior, mas pelo valor que se paga deveria vir com tudo isso.
