Audio Technica LP120-USB

Turntable - High Torque, includes USB output

Since the demise of our old favourite - the SL1200, the world's turntable cupboards have been somewhat bare. Here's a nice kick start to get the wheels of steel turning again though.

The newest offering from AudioTechnica (although currently famous for their microphones and headphones, started as a phono cartridge manufacturer back in the day) features a high-torque direct-drive motor for quick start-ups and a USB output that connects directly to your computer. Other features include: forward and reverse play capability; cast aluminum platter with slip mat and a start/stop button; three speeds 33/45/78; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-10% or +/-20% adjustment ranges; and removable hinged dust cover. A selectable internal stereo phono pre-amplifier allows the turntable to plug directly to components with no dedicated turntable input. A USB cable and adapter cables are included along with Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity software to digitise your LPs.
