I have owned many Audio Technica products over the years. I currently own 3 pairs of studio headphones, a condenser microphone, and now the LP120. I have yet to have a bad experience with this brand. I have been in the market for an affordable direct drive turntable for some time now. After reading many reviews and hearing about zzounds easy payment plan, I decided that now was the time to purchase. When the turntable arrived, I felt the excitement of a little boy waking up on christmas morning. I was able to set up and have the turntable ready for use in my daw within 30 minutes of it being dropped off at my door. It is heavy, well made, and extremely easy to use. The motor is fairly strong as well if you plan on using it for scratching. The only problem with this turntable is the platter. It is slightly warped as I have read in reviews before. This does NOT affect its playability whatsoever. If you are in the market for a DD turntable on a budget, I cannot see how you could go wrong with the LP120

I have been waiting and looking for the right T.T., well I finely found it here at zZounds, What I have found else where was around the same price point, But! zZounds offered much more bang for your buck, being like me, I'm on Disability and I have to watch what I spend, with zZounds there were no Tax ! and WOW!!! FREE 2 Day Shipping!. I don't know about you but being able to order off line from your chair makes a great deal to me, Right to your front door in 2 Days! The package was double boxed and nicely, no damage at all, I had order from somewhere else before and it came damaged, Bummer right? Not for me any more I know my first stop from now on, zZounds. I love the T.T. I purchased a cork platter mat and I am ready to go. They saved me money and that's a plus to me when a Company can do that.The Audio-Technica works great, no warped platter as I have read from others, sound from right and left is fine, lots of extras on this Table I like, like the pop-up cue light, it is very nice where I have my table in a cabinet that needs light, I have to say I'm impressed with the cartridge and stylus included with T.T. Changed it around with my Stanton 600 cartridge with a 600EE stylus and I couldn't hear a different, so they did good I think. Anyway, great T.T., pricing , Free 2 Day shipping, zZounds has my future business for sure!

These turntables are well worth the money. I have a pair of these and love them. I use technics from time to time and these perform just as well. The torque is great for scratching. I don't use the preamp as I use it with serato and timecodes. I haven't had any issue. I did upgrade slipmats as well as the cartridges to shure 44-7s. The sound quality is just as good as the technics. I would recommend these to anyone!!!

This is an excellent turntable for the price. I would give it 5 stars if it was Made In USA. It is Made In China and China has no quality control. It also comes with a DC motor and an American Made AC motor would make this THE top turntable. A DC motor doesn't last as long as an AC motor (turntables from yesteryear have AC motors and most of them last 30+ years. So with the cons out of the way, on to the pros. For a plastic TT this thing is a tank. I had no problems setting it up. The tone arm counterweight took a while to get just right but it just takes some patience. This model comes with the AT95E stylus which tracks at 2 grams. The previous stylus no longer comes with the LP120. Trust me, this one is better (it is the GREEN cartridge). Others have also complained about a pre-amp hum. I detected no hum on mine. I also have my own pre-amp but have been using the one built in to the TT. If it becomes an issue later I will simply use my other one. The slip mat is felt. This worried me at first because everyone wanted the rubber mat that comes with the Technics-1200. Well I have to say the felt mat isn't so bad. I don't see what the big deal is but I am not a club DJ and did not buy this for club use or scratching. I haven't tried out the USB yet but that will come later. At the moment I just want to HEAR my records again. The direct drive can stop on a dime! Pitch control is something I would never use but it has a nice feel to its "slide" and clicks into place in the middle. Hit "quartz" and it instantly tracks at the normal speed. The unit weighs around 25 pounds and that's a good thing. I've noticed that the Popup Stylus Target Light gets a little warm after it's been on for a while so I use it when I need it but mostly leave it turned off. Over a very good turntable which would fall under great if it were Made In USA with better quality control. Packaging from ZZOUNDS was also sturdy. It was packed in a box and sealed up very good in a plastic bag. The TT itself was nicely, tightly fit in the Audio Technica box. I almost bought the USB LP60 and I am glad I got this one instead. The direct drive and adjustable tone arm and anti-skate sold me on this model. One final note, if you find after a few plays of very old records that the tone arm skates across the record check the stylus to make sure it is clean. I made the mistake of playing some very old records without cleaning them and a considerable amount of dust was picked up by the stylus. I cleaned all of the records and cleaned the stylus gently with a new, unused toothbrush.

A good value - this turntable meets my requirements for diving back into vinyl. What a difference it makes for sound and enjoyment! I was pleasantly surprised at the heft on this table for the price point. The cartridge that came with it is fine - but will probably purchase a higher end cartridge at some point. I'd prefer a semi-automatic belt drive table, but for the money this is the deal.

I have been enjoying the heck out of this turntable for the past 3 months and I am very impressed. I grew up with the typical cheesey all in one systems that we all owned who grew up in the 70's-80's and I must say that this is much better by far. I thought that this would be a let down from my Music Hall 5 but I was wrong, it can perform and then some. Has plenty of bells and whistles which make it look really cool. I bought it to replace my Music Hall and to also add my album collection to my digital music platform in order to preserve my albums forever. It is simple and easy to use comes almost completely ready to go out of the box aside from just a few steps to get it put together and ready to play. It is packaged very well and is built like a tank. One of the cool things that this table does is allow you to play your albums backwards so that you can hear the hidden messages from the devil that your favorite band has put on there albums. The only bad thing that I can find wrong with this turntable is that it is silver, all of my equipment is black and so I kind of wanted it to be black as well. However, it does remind me of my first decent turntable that I bought in the 70's. Hope this helps you to decide on which turntable to get.

We had been warned that at our age(70s)that this machine was too complicated for us. People our age have very little experience with computers and the program(Audacity)requires some computer know how. The recording part of the program is not difficult it is when time to convert to MP3 that it gets tricky. But we did get some help and have been able to convert to MP3 and a thumb drive.

I bought this turntable becuase my former crosley just was'nt doing the job! WOW! I'm impressed with this turntable! It is a tank. You do have to do some assembly like: the platter, and the tone arm. Don't worry, this isnt as hard as it seems:) The sound is outstanding, it has very accurate speed, and has an electronic brake. I have had no hum with the preamp, and desoite the fact that it is internally grounded, it still sounds good. I played a 45 and could not believe how good it sounded! I am pleased with the AT-LP120 USB! The Play As You Pay is very convinient and I love it! Fast Delivery! Thanks 1 million zZounds.com

I have been very pleased with the turntable except for one issue that is very annoying, the cueing mechanism lowers way to fast and the needle bounces on record. My brother has/had same turntable and it also bounced when lowering needle.

Let me start by saying I am not an audiophile. I do enjoy listening to music and just recently started listening to vinyl and I am very happy with this turntable. I've had a couple very cheap record players and the difference between those and this one are huge. The sound quality is truly amazing and the overall quality of the turntable seems to be very solid, it weighs a ton. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality turntable. The setup is pretty straight forward, Audio-Technica has videos posted on youtube that are easy to follow. I have not used the USB connection so I can't really comment on that.

it came quickly and it works. only complaint is that maybe you should make sure that 'fragile' is on the box because Fedex dropped it over our back gate to deliver it but luckily it functions fine. box was beat up a bit

I can't speak for all shipped units, but the one I just received needed much more than what the manufacturer suggested I do, with regards to setup. When I got the unit entirely assembled, the headshell was crooked and the sound was horrible when I played a record. On further inspection of the headshell, the cartridge was mounted improperly, so I adjusted that. I had to do some research with regards to the crooked headshell but found out that adjusting the azimuth would correct the problem. Thankfully, this one was adjustable, but was surprised it wouldn't have been accurately set at the factory. To adjust the azimuth, there are two Phillips head screws just behind the headshell, at the bottom of the tonearm. You will need a very short and small screwdriver in order to make this adjustment. Once those two adjustments were made, the turntable came alive and it sounds incredible, even with the stock cartridge.

Very nice turntable. But, it may need some adjustments from the factory settings. I found the tangent mounting of the AT95E cartridge to be way off thus affecting tracking. This needed to be reset - cartridge no longer sets square in headshell and that's ok. Vertical tracking angle is wrong with AT95E. The tone arm was too high so the fix was to add several layers of thin foam under the slip mat. Tone arm front now raised about 5 mm and much more parallel to the record surface.

I ordered a blemished unit for a good chunk off and it arrived super quick but packaged very poorly inside with all the accessories just bouncing around. Customer service was exceptional at getting me out another unit. I hooked it up last night and have to say it is a solid, heavy, & well built turntable. I for one don't believe that records sound better than CD's but I have a lot of both. You can't get the same volume levels from vinyl and I do get a hum from turning it up just like 30 years ago......... Also for some reason this one doesn't have an auto return at the end of the record??

I brought this for my birthday. I was excited to get it but it did take me a few weeks to open it. The shipping box did not come in the best of shape. Regards everything appeared fine. Playing the first few songs it sounded amazing. Then I notice a drop in volume on the right channel. I thought it was the cables because I had RCA extension cable connect. Switched it, played an album or two and this it started happening again. I then hook the tunable to my studio mixer board without RCA extension cables and right away I could see no signal on the right channel. It was very random but I have come across some cases of this same matter on the internet. I was going to exchange it but it is out of stock so I did a return. I will try another one once zZounds get more in, but I am slightly worried about that now.
