Review: Estoy súper contenta con esta compra. El tocadiscos AT-LP120XUSB-BK es justo lo que necesitaba para actualizar mi set up Se escucha súper nítido y con mucha vida. Realmente se nota la diferencia comparado con otros modelos más baratos. Lo saqué de la caja, lo armé en un momento (las instrucciones son claras) y ya estaba sonando. (Les recomiendo adquirir una báscula para pesar el brazo phono captor). No es un juguete; es un equipo serio que sé que me durará años. El brazo y el pitch control funcionan de maravilla. ​Si estás pensando en dar el salto a un tocadiscos de buena calidad sin gastar una fortuna, este es. Lo recomiendo totalmente para cualquiera, desde el que empieza hasta el que ya tiene su colección. Una compra 10/10 en desertcart.
Review: I’ve been using the Audio-Technica LP120XUSB for a few weeks now, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The build quality is excellent — it feels solid, well-engineered, and much more premium than most turntables in its price range. The tonearm, buttons, and platter have a satisfying heft that gives real confidence in its durability. The sound quality is equally outstanding. When paired with a good amplifier and speakers, it delivers a clean, warm, and detailed sound that truly brings vinyl records to life. The separation of instruments, clarity in vocals, and smooth bass response are all remarkable. You can really feel the analog warmth that vinyl lovers crave. I also appreciate the USB output, which makes it easy to digitize my records without compromising quality — a thoughtful addition that bridges vintage charm with modern convenience. The direct drive motor ensures consistent speed and quick start-up, while the adjustable tonearm and detachable headshell make fine-tuning and cartridge upgrades simple. Overall, the LP120XUSB is an exceptional value for both beginners and audiophiles. It looks professional, performs beautifully, and feels built to last. If you want a reliable, great-sounding turntable that respects the vinyl tradition while embracing digital flexibility, this one’s a winner!

## 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.
