Audio-Technica - AT-LP70X Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable

The perfect first step on your audiophile journey — warm analog sound with zero setup fuss.

The AT-LP70X fully automatic belt-drive turntable blends warm analog sound with user-friendly automation, letting you enjoy your records without any tonearm balancing or cartridge installation. Just press start and the J-shaped tonearm — engineered to minimize tracking errors — does the rest, with a tonearm lock to protect the stylus when not in use.

It comes fitted with an AT-VM95C Integral Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge that's compatible with the entire VM95 Series of replacement styli, so you can upgrade from the included conical stylus to elliptical, Micro-Linear, or Shibata as your ears (and collection) grow. A three-piece anti-resonance chassis and die-cast aluminum platter keep playback stable, the built-in switchable phono/line preamp connects to virtually any system, and an external AC adapter keeps power-supply noise out of the signal chain.
