Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT Wireless Turntable (Black/Bronze)

After a handful of years of my wife and I's record sitting unplayed due to babies and a poor quality replacement record player, we were about ready to get rid of our records. My wife kept me from doing so because she said we don't play them because we don't have a good record player. So before getting rid of our records I picked up the AT-LP70XBT. I even had a bit of buyers remorse thinking "We aren't going to use it". Boy am I happy that I didn't get rid of our records because after getting the AT, it has been played every day since! The quality is top notch, pairing via bluetooth is amazing, and the automatic start/stop feature is an absolute game changer and solves the biggest pet peeve I had of our past record players. Its simple to use (so simple my six year old can get a record playing with no help, and he does it every morning!). This is a great record player and has everything you need to keep your records playing!

This record player is very basic, but very great for what it is. Runs well, is super easy to set up, and sounds good. For the money this is very easy to recommend!

The player was easy to assemble and has a good sound. This is a great value for the money.

Easy setup, easy use, needed to connect via Bluetooth because of location I wanted it in my room. Sounds very good, better than expected. Enjoying listening to my original vinyl records. I’m not a true audiophile so Bluetooth connection is fine I’m my case.

I am SO disappointed. I had a LP60 that worked flawlessly for years... I decided to purchase this based on my prior experience. At first I was very impressed with the sound quality and the sleek look of the turntable. I LOVED it. Then after about a week of use, it started to skip and get stuck in grooves. At first I thought it was the record itself but alas there were no scratches and it then started happening on EVERY record - even new ones. I ordered a replacement and it skipped on the FIRST play! Come on... so now I'll be tasked with boxing them both back up and returning. My LP60 never skipped even on some beat up albums. I really wish this would not have happened as I love the look of the table... I think the stylus has some issue or the tracking force is off from the factory. Do your research and purchase something else, perhaps one with more adjustability, until they fix this issue.

Nice turntable. Perfect for us and it paired with our soundbar system! Love that the arm returns at the end of play.

Update on 28APR2025:From my previous review you would know I had to send the unit for repair for a known problem that the manufacturer describes as a "small batch of units with skipping issues". I guess I picked one of those defective units. Regardless, after a repair turnaround of 10 business days, I received the unit back and I have been playing records on it consistently every day. At least three records per day. No skips so far. I have done the same prep work for all records so the only change is that the player was successfully repaired. Therefore, consider that before purchasing. You may get a unit that had doesn't have the factory problem, which would be a 5 star experience in my opinion. But if you do get one that has the problem, the company was able to perform the necessary repairs which is good. It sounds excellent, and it looks great. At this point, I am keeping the review at 4 stars because the unit had that original defect. Would I order again? Yes. Why? Because it is a local US company, and the customer service was effective in resolution of my problem. I received response to all my messages and while I didn't like the wait, it was effective to resolve the problem.ORIGINAL REVIEW: My first hours of use, it was a delight. Very easy to assemble and use. Looks amazing on my turn table desk; the copper line on the one I purchased gives it a very elegant look. Beautiful sound reproduction and just happy to revisit all the mementos of my time with my dad listening to his records. It is fairly light in weight, but it is well built.Unfortunately, the unit starting skipping after a couple of months, with an average play time of 2 hours per week; first a couple skips, then it would play OK. More recently, it skips quite a bit on every song. Even with brand new out of the box (visually clean) discs, or properly cleaned older records with a cleaning solution. A bit disappointing, considering the perceived positive reputation of the company. I have opened a service ticket, so I will see if I can get proper support on the unit. If the problem is resolved, I'll update my rating.

The sound on this is fantastic. I did buy a the auxiliary mat instead of the OEM and added a weight. This is the automatic unit. (Shaky old hands) With 33 1/3 and 45 rpm selector. It was a little tricky getting the protective cover off of the needle. I had went to CD years before for the convenience of take anywhere.But the sound of the vinyl is unmatched. Can't say enough good about this unit. FYI I used AI GROK for recommendation. We went through different scenarios with equipment I have.
