Our take on the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive Manual USB Turntable

The AT-LP120XUSB is a direct-drive manual turntable built as a modern take on the classic DJ-style deck. It plays 33, 45 and 78 RPM records, has a built-in switchable phono preamp, USB output for digitizing vinyl, pitch control and a die-cast aluminum platter. It suits people who want a sturdy, adjustable deck for listening and ripping records, and it undercuts most audiophile belt-drive rivals on features while giving up some of their isolation and refinement. Owners praise its solid build and easy setup; critics note the stock cartridge and the built-in preamp are the weak links.

Questions and answers

Is the AT-LP120XUSB worth it over a cheaper belt-drive deck?
Yes for buyers who want direct-drive stability, 78 RPM and USB recording in one unit. A basic belt-drive deck is simpler and lighter, but it usually lacks these features.
Does it need a phono preamp?
No. It has a built-in switchable preamp, so it can plug into a line input. If your amp has a phono stage, switch the preamp off and use that instead.
Can it play 78 RPM records?
Yes, it has a 78 RPM setting. You need a 78-specific stylus, since the included cartridge stylus is for 33 and 45 RPM microgroove records.
How does it compare with the AT-LP120XUSB's predecessor, the AT-LP120?
The X version adds a revised tonearm, a better stock cartridge and a cleaner preamp. The core direct-drive design and controls are the same.
What is in the box?
The turntable, a dust cover, a slipmat, a counterweight, a headshell with cartridge, RCA cables, a USB cable and a power supply. A 45 adapter is included.
Can I upgrade the cartridge?
Yes. The tonearm takes standard half-inch mount cartridges, and the adjustable counterweight and anti-skate handle a wide range of them.
Where is the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive Manual USB Turntable cheapest?
At Walmart, for $629.00, as of our latest check.
