Returning to the Warm and Lovely Sound of Vinyl

bydahlink May 14, 2005
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Professional features, heft, ease of set–up and use, price, sound.
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes


Those under thirty or so perhaps won't understand. A few semi – 'Luddite' audiophiles just might. Call me crazy, sentimental, silly, whatever, but I've decided to return to the aural joys of vinyl. Yes, vinyl, as in long–playing records, turntables, phonographs,... Read full review »

The Audio-Technica AT-PL120- Or: Record Players for Dummies!

bydesslok Mar 24, 2007
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Rich sound, looks great, manual control on everything for tons of customization.
Cons Manual control means you have to do it all yourself.
Recommended it? Yes

I choose to blame Crap From the Past for this purchase. CFtP is a radio show out of Minnesota on KFAI that does retro pop music with a focus on obscure, forgotten, or overlooked recordings. - a graduate level course in pop-music, as Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber often says. Without him, I doubt very... Read full review »

The BIG Bang for the buck.

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quality, versatility, features, sound and price!!!
Cons Interconnects are a little short.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm so excited about this product that I just don't know where to start! I've been storing my vinyl collection for about 20 years and just couldn't bring myself to part with any of it. When times and finances changed to where I could actively look for a new turntable I was amazed at what was and... Read full review »

Not as good as a Technics, but still good.

byspacemissing Apr 29, 2009
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All negatives considered, it's still a useful product.
Cons Flimsy construction; lack of internal damping.
Recommended it? Yes

Until I found and purchased this model, I was foiled many times in my search for a turntable that had an easily-changed headshell and 78 RPM and a wide-range pitch control.

I have, and like to use, various DUAL turntables (especially when a record is off-center; removable spindles can be... Read full review »

Remove the mystery from this turntable

bydleague Mar 15, 2007
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cost, quality, arm, direct drive.
Cons The professional cartridge is not recommended for personal or critical listening.
Recommended it? Yes

This is an excellent turntable, competing against many more costly other brands. I don't like the "professional cartridge", for use in nightclubs where abuse is the first order. There are many good optional cartridges available. The possible feedback from the motor can easily be eliminated by using... Read full review »

AT-PL120 the fine little brother of the Technic SL-1200

bycitation16 May 28, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great value includes such as 78 speed, reverse speed, built in phono-preamp.
Cons Does not have the detailed sound of the big brother the Technics SL 1200.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the near perfect mirror image of the famous Technic 1200/1210 but at half the price. The turntable is some 3 pounds less of the Sl-1220 but has added features such as a 78 speed, reverse speed and an included cartridge. It also includes the choice of using the built in phono pre-amp. All in... Read full review »

very good turntable

bygfwt Jan 6, 2009
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros good sound, good quality, good controls
Cons all manual - have to be there to lift the needle off the LP
Recommended it? Yes

I listen to LPs, and I find this a very good turntable, especially for the price.   It has a variable pitch control that permits me to adjust LP speeds to a musical instrument if I want to play along - I don't use that much, but very good when i do.    Good controls, good sound, all around good...

Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable

Looking for a turntable that can do justice to your cherished vinyl records? Audio-Technica's AT-PL120 is designed to please professional DJs and LP lovers alike. Its high-torque, direct drive motor provides solid, quartz- controlled playback for albums, 45s...even those old 78s (a rare feature for turntables in this price range!). A built-in, selectable phono preamp means you can connect the AT-PL120 directly to almost any audio system, or even hook it up to your PC's sound card for digitally archiving your vinyl collection (may require adapter, not included). Audio-Technica even includes their rugged, high-quality ATP-2 phono cartridge for great-sounding playback right out of the box. DJs will also appreciate the AT-PL120's impressive list of special playback options. Its pitch control feature can be set to two different ranges (±10% or ±20%), for easier beat-match mixing. Reverse play lets you create cool sonic effects. A remote input jack lets you start or stop playback from a compatible mixer or control unit, and the pop-up stylus target light makes it easier to see where you're dropping the needle in low-light settings like a dance club.
