Por un escritor de hombre misterioso

Off the audiophile pedestal and into the “real world” we go, with a review of Audio Technica’s easy to set up $299.95 ("street" price $250) AT-LP120-USB turntable. This feature-packed turntable bears more than a passing resemblance to the Technics SL-1200, the final iteration of which was the MK6. Citing dwindling sales and parts procurement issues, Panasonic/Matsushita absurdly discontinued the 1200 in 2010. What next? They’ll stop making plasma TVs? Oh. They did that too (they had rational reasons in both instances, though plasma still far surpasses the picture quality of LCD IMO).

Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB turntable review: Listen to your vinyl collection and digitize it, too

This update of the AT-LP120-USB turntable features a DC servo direct-drive motor, along with adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and selectable phono preamplifier. The fully manual turntable plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and is equipped with a USB output that allows direct connection to your computer. Just download the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software (or software of your choice) and start converting your records to digital audio files.
