LP120XBTUSB Direct-Drive Turntable (Bluetooth & USB) Black

The main things I specifically wanted from a turntable was proper direct-drive (no more belt swaps), Bluetooth so I could ditch the cables to my active speakers and finally build and sound quality, the Audio-Technica LP120XBTUSB delivers all of this in abundance. Everything else – USB ripping, replaceable stylus, built-in phono – was a bonus. After three weeks of daily use it’s exactly what I hoped for. Setup was straightforward. Balancing the tone arm and setting the counterweight and anti-skate was simple enough following the included instructions and you’re spinning in ten minutes. The Bluetooth pairing did have one small catch that caught me out: my Bluetooth speakers or receiver had to be within about a metre for the initial connection. Once paired, though, I can wheel the turntable anywhere in the room, switch it on and it reconnects instantly. No lag, no drop-outs, and the audio quality is indistinguishable. Only minor niggle is the plastic dust cover feels a bit lightweight compared with some older AT models, but it does the job and the hinges are solid. Everything else – build, button feel, cueing accuracy – is proper pro-DJ grade at a home-listener price. If you want a no-fuss, professional & reliable turntable that can go wireless to modern speakers without losing that direct-drive punch or the sound quality, this is it. I’d buy it again tomorrow. Highly recommended.

Not particularly challenging to assemble and balance the tonearm. Getting the 3-pin adapter on the power lead was more problematic. Levelling the turntable took a while but was worth doing right. My first direct drive and Bluetooth turntable, it connects automatically to Bluetooth speakers across the room. Sound reproduction is excellent. I did the right thing, avoiding the cheaper option of an all-in-one player. The extra quality from this turntable is worth the extra expense.

Fantastic turntable for the price. I love the retro look and the build quality is also very good. For me, this turntable ticks all of the boxes even though the operation is completely manual - not even auto return at the end of a record! It is an excellent turntable that plays records really well with the supplied cartridge. However, the supplied cartridge, though very good, doesn’t do this turntable justice. Hence l have bought an Audio Technica AT-VM740ML/Headshell for £279 (almost as much as the turntable itself). My goodness - it was worth it! With this combination, l truly own a ‘Mid-Range’ turntable that any ‘audiophile’ would be proud of.

Good build quality, great looking and easy to set up. Bluetooth allows the use of several output devices without the need for wires. Great sound on my AIrpod Max headphones and my Fosi ZD3/ZA3 amp. Using this deck is a joy and I have not had any of the problems reported elsewhere in these reviews. I recommend it at the price point it is sold at. And fortunatelly I took good care of my vinyls so they all play beautifully.

Great turntable, great sound, great price, and excellent service from the seller. The preamp delivers a fantastic sound, whether it's by Bluetooth or RCA cable to a speaker. One very happy DJ.

I am really pleased with this stereo player, however I had some issues as didn't realise initially that Bluetooth wouldn't connect to my phone without speakers connected. However, set up was straightforward apart from that and everything is now working great with excellent sound quality from my vinyl and my Bluetooth playback would recommend this product but would be good if the instructions made the Bluetooth connection a little clearer.

Bought as a renewal for my aging turntable, easy to set up with all leads needed. Well packaged. Highly recommend

The sound is of the highest quality and plays our old vinyls excellently. Hubby is very pleased indeed with his new record player!

Outstanding unit. Paired it with the audio technica speakers and I’m thrilled! Fully manual takes me back. Highly recommend it for sound quality and aesthetic.

Easy to setup, solid quality, very nice sound

... but I love it to bits. To buy such an expensive, big eighties looking Turntable was not on my shortlist but after multiple bad experiences with other brands like Projekt and Dual I pulled the trigger and bought one for €235, I think a very good deal when I see the prices abroad. Everything functions perfect. What I like the most is the Bluetooth for my headphones so I can move freely. Almost completely made of plastic the size and weight gives it a feel of Premium Quality. Nice touch are the suction cup feet and light. The anti skating does its job wonderfully, so no distortions near the end of the record. Although I have it connected to a 20 year old Panasonic Home Cinema Set the pre-amp delivers more than average sound. The lift feels a bit cheap but the needle never skipped putting it on. Because it is a DJ device it has no automatic stop, so it keeps turning with the needle on the record. And for those who want to digitize I urge you not to go with the cheap usb ones, the sound will be dreadfull. Buy a TT with a good sound output like this one and you will get quality mp3 recordings. *Update 15 months later* It still runs fantastic. I am not a permanent listener I must say, there are weeks that I do not touch it. But when I do it keeps a joy to own this sweet sounding device. I listen to it through my cheap Sony WH-CH510 bluetooth headphones or my SMSL SA-50 amp connected to 2 KEF speakers.

Giradischi di buona qualità (chiariamo: non è un Thorens da 3.000 euro, ma penso sarebbe stupido pretenderlo), ma costruito decisamente bene soprattutto se confrontato con prodotti di altre marche su questa fascia di prezzo. La connessione bluetooth è impeccabile, e mantiene comunque ad un ottimo livello la qualità di ascolto (giusto una gamma alta un filo indietro e qualcosina in meno come intellegibilità della gamma media, ma a mio parere davvero una buona prestazione). E comunque, per chi preferisse prestazioni migliori alla comodità del bluetooth, ci sono le opzioni per la connessione cablata... Facile l'installazione, testina in dotazione più che onesta, il plus della porta USB per la connessione al PC. Trasmissione -sulla carta- affidabile, vista l'assenza della cinghia, ma imho non adatta all'utilizzo "DJ", il motore non sembra potentissimo; ma, di nuovo, personalmente non pretendo niente del genere su questa fascia di prezzo, tantomeno da un apparecchio che offre già tanto in altri ambiti. In sintesi, prodotto concreto e convincente, che offre una prestazione solida a tutto tondo, con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

R.A.S Très bonne platine,que du positif et la connexion Bluetooth est nickel ! Je recommande a 100%.
