## Overview

The Audio-Technica AT-LP5X is a fully manual, direct-drive turntable blending classic 1960s-inspired design with modern engineering. Featuring a low-noise motor, adjustable tonearm with anti-skate control, and a high-quality AT-VM95E cartridge, it supports 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM speeds. Its heavy chassis and rubber damping mat reduce vibrations and feedback, while a built-in MM/MC preamp and USB output enable easy connection to computers and contemporary audio systems. Weighing 20 lbs, it offers a premium vinyl experience ideal for audiophiles seeking both nostalgia and modern functionality.

## Description

Building on Audio-Technica’s analog heritage and over 50 years of Japanese audio design, the AT-LP5X features upgraded technology while keeping the contemporary style and acclaimed performance of its predecessor, the AT-LP5. The LP5X retains the J-shaped tonearm, a design inspired by the classic Audio-Technica models of the 1960s and ’70s, and features a metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to mitigate tracking errors. The tonearm also includes an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate control and comes fitted with a lightweight (9.3g) AT-HS6 headshell and the black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet stereo cartridge. Constructed of anti-vibration damping materials with heavy-mass metal chassis inserts, the AT-LP5X turntable has been designed to limit low-frequency acoustical feedback. Its precision-machined, die-cast aluminum platter is powered by a direct-drive, low-noise motor, ensuring stable, on-axis rotation at 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM. A 5 mm thick rubber-damping mat, which isolates from low frequency feedback while providing a highly stable surface for all LP formats, tops the platter. The AT-LP5x features a built-in switchable MM/MC phono/line preamp that enables it to connect directly to a computer, home stereo, powered speakers and other components that have no dedicated turntable input. The selection of MM/MC cartridges allow for an easy upgrade to a moving coil with additional equipment. The turntable is also equipped with a USB output for direct connection to a computer.

Review: Sub $500 Benchmark Turntable - From a HiFi guy who grew up with Technics and Dual turntables, this is a solid, new age performer. Unfortunately Dual and similar old school turntables have gone way of the dinosaur. Dual is dead. Audio Technica has been around along time and who better to make a turntable that carries their long time, industry standard cartridges than them? Since the precision mechanical gears, springs and floating chassis's that require craftsmanship have become ancient relics, one must move on to accept a paradigm change. The AT-LP5X is impressive in its own right. I'm a guy who measures most electronics in weight and this turntable is heavy & solid at about 20lbs. I was blown away by the rubber mat. I have never in all my days, seen this thick of a turntable mat! Let's talk about the double gimbal tonearm. I read many recent of turntable reviews. Hardly any talk about the precision makeup of the tonearm. This assembly with the hydraulic cue is precise and crafted well. The motor is quiet. Again, Old School Guy liking belt drive, but this direct drive offer no noise interferences at all.The AT-VM95E cartridge is great. I read many folks put it down and boast about putting more expensive cartridges on. No need. The cartridge performs excellent at all levels. OK, I have a better, new cartridge in the cabinet, but I'm in no hurry to replace the supplied one. The dust cove and hinges are exceptional. It comes extremely well packaged and assembly is simplistic. Take it from an old school guy who grew up in the mid 70's days of HiFi gold, this is the benchmark in sub $500 turntables! It's solid and won't budge a bit when opening a closing the dustcover.
Review: Very nice turntable - I have had this turntable for a few months and am very pleased with it. The sound quality is much improved over the less expensive turntable I was using. I have noticed it has a very precise stylus. When I listen to vinyl I hear things in the music that I missed before, even with albums I have had for decades. I was recording some of my vinyl to digital and the stylus picked up talking in the room and dogs barking, so keep that in mind if you are recording your vinyl. It has adjustments for tracking force and anti skate as well. The only drawback I found is it doesn't have an on/off switch. As a work around, I just plugged the power into the power receptacle on my receiver. It now powers on and off with the receiver, so that worked out well. The turntable is of high quality for the price. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants a better vinyl listening experience and an affordable price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference, if any, between an at-lp5x direct-drive turntable & an at-lp5x fully manual direct-drive turntable?**
A: No difference in this case. They are the same. The Audio-Technica AT-LP5X only comes in manual direct drive. Direct drive turns the platter versus belt driven platter. And is only manual operation, which means you have to start it by using the control knob to set the platter rotation speed (33/45/78). You move the tonearm into place and you have to return the tonearm after the record is finished. A fully automatic turntable will move the tonearm into place, and at end of record, auto-lift it and return it back to the tonearm rest by itself without your intervention.

**Q: Is this unit wireless?**
A: No, this unit (AT-LP5x) does not have any built-in wireless/Bluetooth options. You could buy a Bluetooth adapter and connect it to back of this unit as this unit has a built-in phono stage.

**Q: Are the feet height adjustable?**
A: Thanks for your question. Yes, to adjust the level of the turntable.
World Wide Stereo – since 1979 – and a proud authorized Audio-Technica dealer.

**Q: Is this plinth plastic or metal ?**
A: Don't know what it's made of,  but construction feels solid.
