Audio-Technica LP5X Fully Manual Direct Drive Turntable

This fully manual direct-drive turntable features a low noise, 3-speed (33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM) motor. The J-shaped tonearm, modeled after the original Audio-Technica designs from the 1960s and 1970s, is engineered to minimise tracking errors and ensure seamless audio playback. The switchable moving magnet/moving coil preamp accommodates use with both types of cartridges, offering a multitude of upgrade paths. With a built-in phono preamp switch, this turntable can be connected to components with or without a dedicated phono input. The anti-resonance die-cast aluminium platter and heavy rubber damping mat both contribute to a significant reduction to noise in the signal chain.
