Audio-Technica AT-LP70X Automatic Turntable (Black/Bronze)

This is a very good entry-level turntable. It comes with a VM95C cartridge which is one of the best values in cartridges under $100. It sounds good out of the box and will not damage your records. If you pair this with receiver or amp (like a Sony, Cambridge Audio, or Yamaha that’s under $400) and a pair of bookshelf speakers from Sony (SSCS5M2) or Klipsch Reference Seties, you will have a great system for focused near-field listening or casual background music. It It’s not going to compete with turntables that cost 2, 3, … times more. But it does well for the class it is in. Audio Technica makes other units that compete in higher categories. I have another Audio Technica unit, the AT-120USB, that is fully manual and has served me well for over a decade. I wanted another unit with auto return so that I could play records while entertaining and not worry about damaging a record (or stylus) if I couldn’t get to the turntable shortly after a record finished. It did a great job for several months but after having my AT-70X for nearly a year it started to have an issue with skipping on several records. I researched online and found that it was a known issue and covered under the warranty. I filed a service ticket on the Audio Technica webpage and in 2 days I got shipping box with instructions on shipping it back to them at their expense. When I filed the ticket, their customer service indicated that they would either fix it and return it to me or send me a new unit. 10 days later the shipment was delivered to me and it was a new unit. No hassles. No additional costs. The new unit sounds as good as the old one before it had issues. While it’s true that Audio Technica is not a boutique brand with that makes equipment with bespoke components, they make equipment for people who are looking for good value, and they stand behind what they sell. In full disclosure I have other more expensive manual turntables from other brands that sound as good or better than my Audio Technica stuff. But they are more finicky and require more attention to keep them going at their peak level of performance. For entry-level and casual listening, this is a very solid unit. The tone arm is compatible with their full line of VM95 cartridges, making it easy to upgrade over time.

If you want to get into vinyl records, I highly recommend this as your first turntable. It’s easy to use, looks great, and offers excellent value for the money.

I absolutely love that this one has the ground stud. I use vintage gear and this turntable is a definite upgrade over my old LP60X solely for that reason. Also its output being RCA over Aux is nice. The player also has a switch to use the phono-preamp if your hooking this up directly to speakers, but for me its just set to phono (since I've got a receiver). The rest of the player functions how you'd expect it. It sounds fantastic and the automatic functions work as you'd expect them to. So far every record I've got that I've played on this has worked with no issue. 10/10 player for the price, highly recommend.

I have tried cheap turntables or record players 2 times until I did some research. The LP70X is very user friendly. Ive bought some good quality speakers with it and my ears finally hear clarity and bass! I do enjoy the automatic toearm. I love the look of this too! Set and forget!

Easy to set up. Need speakers. Has internal preamp. Does not have adjustable anti-skate or tonearm weight adjustment but factory setup has been fine so far. Shipping was no issue. Came safely. Packed very well.

Recently started collecting vinyl albums and got this turntable to listen to them. I did alot of comparing different turntables and ended up getting this one. The price was in my range of what I wanted to spend, plus you can upgrade the needle. The turntable has a pre amplifier which saved me from having to buy a receiver. I paired the turntable with some powered speakers. Very happy with this turntable!

Plays nice and easy set up. I have to take off 1 star because both RCA cord and Power cord are to short. The cords supplied will not be long enough if you want to place the turntable more than 3 or 4 feet from your Amp/Receiver/Dac etc. It sounds nice using the Dac/Phono input on my Onkio receiver. I did not try the built in Dac. It is a nice turntable

Happy with my purchase here!! This is my first turntable and I found it very easy to set up and play records on. I also love the look of this record player, I don’t mind it sitting out in my living room. I connected it to my Marshall speaker (I did have to buy a separate cord that was not included in the box for this record player). Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who’s interested!

Amazing out of the box performance even with the Blue VM95 Stylus. I will be upgrading to Red ML Stylus eventually, but the sound is great for now. With the option to swap stylus’ with any of the VM95 series in minutes is an amazing feature. The table spins at a steady speed, and the auto play/stop feature is smooth. This has a built in phono preamp, but I had the tube preamp laying around and I like the warmer tube sound, tried the built in and it sounded fantastic as well. Would purchase again, recommend this if you’re on the fence.

Ela é boa. Vi muitas críticas negativas sobre ela, mas comigo até agora está ok. Estou com ela a quatro meses e funciona perfeitamente. Mas tenho algumas ressalvas, o tapete do disco solta muita fibra e acaba ficando preso na agulha o que faz o som ficar estranho e a gente tem que ficar limpando. Se a caixa de som for uma das boas recomendo não deixar no mesmo lugar dela por que a trepidação do próprio som faz pular a agulha. Vi algumas resenhas gringas que é so comprar um tapete de qualidade e trocar a agulha por uma superior, mas pelo valor que se paga deveria vir com tudo isso.

Llegó bien empaquetado y una maravilla de tocadisco los materiales de calidad vaya vale cada peso ya que empecé a comprar vinilos y WOW que diferencia de audio, claro debes de invertirle unas buenas bocinas en mi caso uso unas klipsch que vaya le sacan el jugo a las pistas, lo que si te recomiendo es que no estén en el mismo estante o mueble donde tienes las bocinas o el Woofer por qué las vibraciónes hacen que salte la aguja, aprovecha cuando esté de descuento vale la pena.

Me encantó el diseño y el audio es bueno para el precio. Bien empaquetado y fácil de armar. Mejoraría los materiales un poco pues el cuerpo es plástico y daría mejor sensación un recubrimientos metálico sin embargo estoy conforme

Toca-discos maravilhoso e super funcional. Atendeu perfeitamente ao que eu estava procurando. E a qualidade sonora é incrível.
