"VM-95E cartridge on a $1k turntable"
Verified Customer

Doesn’t make sense.
Sound
Would be more of a “wow factor” if it came with a better cartridge. The 95e is fine for an lp120 for starters.
Features
Really nice turntable. Comparable to an Al-1200? I have an SL-1200 from the 70s. I guess it is comparable when playing an ELP album, Brain Salad Surgery for example.
Ease of Use
Easy to hook up, easy to use.
Quality
Made well. AT is an all-around excellent product.
Value
Probably.
Manufacturer Support
No problems.
The Wow Factor
I like AT products. They are good, reliable, easy to use, and good on the eyes.
