About this deal

Perhaps the most obvious nod to AT’s heritage on display here is the j-shaped tonearm, a design harking back to Audio-Technica and SME arms of the 60s.

Registered Office: 4th - 6th floor Wellington Buildings, 2-4 Wellington Street, Belfast, BT1 6HT (Northern Ireland - company number NI032565).

Audio-Technica offers up a code to download Audacity software for converting vinyl (or any other analogue source) to MP3 or WAV files in the box, too. Building on Audio-Technica’s analogue 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. By accommodating connections to components without a dedicated phono input, this feature simplifies and streamlines your audio rig, making the AT-LP5X a hassle-free addition to any sound system. The main benefit of this type of wood proved to be the tightening up of bass definition to a most pleasing degree.

A pair of switches toggle the internal preamp on and off and switch between moving magnet or moving coil operation. The turntable features a USB output, which permits direct connection to a computer for easy digital archiving. This also means that the meaty IEC mains cable of the 140 is replaced by a weedy LP5x wall wart-type wire. At the back is the input for the off board power supply, the two RCA sockets and a grounding terminal, a switch to operate the built in pre amp switching from line to phono output and a USB socket for digitising your vinyl collection, you will need to have audiacity or similar software to do this.Removing the platter and quickly turning the motor on and off again proved that the motor/spindle was indeed the source, and it even appeared excessive friction may be slowing the spin slightly. At Smart Home Sounds, we are leading Home Audio Visual Specialists and one of the UK's largest Sonos dealers. Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath. At first, it’s hard to notice any obvious changes between the models, but look carefully and you’ll find the addition of a 78rpm speed option alongside the usual 33. Its die-cast aluminium platter and thick rubber-damping mat work together to minimise chassis resonance, for precise playback and delivering the full audio potential of vinyl.

Start paying for your goods from the first month and pay the same amount every month with a standard interest rate charge. Finally, some testing has been undertaken with a VM-95SH Shibata stylus and Funk Firm Achromat in place of the supplied rubber mat. Its J-shaped tone arm, expert build and three-speed capability ensures professional playback of your LPs, and it includes a USB port for direct connection to a computer.With the included Audacity software, listeners can capture and edit their favorite vinyl records in high-quality digital formats.

That half-century’s worth of analog expertise goes into every turntable we produce, ensuring you get the best listening experience from your vinyl. The final change to the record player is the removal of the power supply from the chassis to the mains plug. I have seen both the NAD C558 and C588 though and the Regas and the EVO are readily available, Take care Paul and thanks again.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.
