I have no skipping just beautiful sound, I would highly reccomend to anyone that they pay a little more and get the LP120, it is quality and so much better than the LP70, By the way desertcart did take the LP70 back after my 30 days was up, desertcart you are awesome

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new Audio-Technica Turntable is a true blessing!
*by C***A on July 26, 2025*

I have a big collection of classic 1970's and 1980's Contemporary Christian music LP records. 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
