- #51 in Audio & Video Turntables
The AT-LP70X fully automatic belt-drive turntable is designed for budding vinylphiles – those who love the engaged, real-world experience of listening to records, from flipping through albums at the record store, to placing a record on the turntable, cueing the tonearm, and sitting back with the album art in hand to enjoy warm, analog music as the artist intended. Arguably, the most important component for generating high-fidelity audio from vinyl is a quality phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 60 years, and we’ve drawn on that expertise to create a versatile, high-performance cartridge for this turntable – performance that other turntables in this class simply can’t match. Integrated into the J-shaped tonearm, the AT-VM95C cartridge with 0.6 conical stylus offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. And the stylus can also be easily upgraded with any of the other styli (elliptical, microlinear, or Shibata) in our VM95 Series, offering customization that is normally only possible on a turntable with a detachable headshell and cartridge. The easy-to-use AT-LP70X plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, with its built-in switchable phono preamp, can be connected directly to a home stereo, powered speakers, computer and other components, whether they have a dedicated phono input or not. The three-piece, anti-resonance chassis provides a solid foundation that dampens unwanted noise for improved sound quality. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis to limit its impact on the signal chain.

Parts missing RCA cords to connect, lid is scratched and little bit damaged. The cartridge was not secured in the box. Now it also is bent. Don't play records very well.

Works straight out the box, easy to assemble. I also want to mention that it’s kinda weird that once the record stops at the end the tonearm goes back to it rest, and if you want to listen to it again you have to press start and then press stop, by doing so the tonearm will lift and move to the start and start playing again.

The sound quality is GREAT, the music is clear and very easy to setup . better quality than a suite case player the speakers I you can use Bluetooth as well. And the price is pretty reasonable.

Listen to the reviews. Yes it is beautiful and somewhat affordable. But, it will start skipping and there is no way to adjust the arm. Amazon was kind and let me return it, but wasn’t worth it. Get one of these with the tonearm, or, a different brand all together. We got a fluance and (although more expensive) has been amazing.

Love my new Audio Technica AT-LP70X what a Sturdy and Balance turntable. No sikpping issues. What an upgrade from the 60 series. The price was right too. Playing Meet The Beatles as we speak. So if you want to upgrade your turntable with out breaking the bank this is a turntable for you!

Super table, bien construite, belle voire raffinée, le son est vraiment bon, les hautes sont stridentes, les basses sont bien senties. Facile à assembler. Le problème majeur est arrivé après quelques disques, la table ''saute', à la lecture de façon aléatoire, sur de vieux disques et moins sur des récents mais quand même, aucun ne sautait sur ma vieille TECHNICS SL-B200 qui a rendu l’âme il y a une semaine. J'ai contacté AT et on m'a répondu que j'étais mieux de la retourner car le problème, après avoir lu plusieurs ''revues'' sur le net, semble être récurrent. J'ai quand même rajouté un ''10 cents (1,7g) sur le bras et ça a aidé à arrêter les sauts mais ce n'est pas très bon pour la cartouche ni le disque à la longue. Le technicien ma dit que le poids max pour ce stylet est de 2 à 2,2g maximum (2g étant recommandé et lors de la réception-usine, le poids est d'environ 1.8/2g) et donc, en y ajoutant mon 1,7g, je dépasse de beaucoup le maximum. Je vais essayer d'y ajouter autour de 1g mais je pense que je vais devoir la retourner car à la longue, ça ne sera pas payant. Voilà! Je pense que Audio-Technica devrait simplement retirer cette table de la vente.ps: comme prévu, je l'ai retournée et j'ai acheté la AT-LP120XUSB-BK, beaucoup plus chère mais ça joue comme un charme: voir mon commentaire sur la page de cette table.

This is a great turntable for anyone who wants a no fuss way to play records. No aligning cartridges, measuring tone arm force and balance. Just plug and play. My records have never sounded better! The automatic operation is quick and gentle, it’s a very responsive system. I also like that you have lots of stylus to choose from…starting with blue, it sounds good, but I will try others and see how the sound changes. Overall very happy!Update…now that I’ve owned it for a little while…it skips…a lot. It skips on records that never skipped on my old JVC. It skips on records that are brand new. I switched to the red microlinear stylus and this did not help. Old records, new records…it skips. Frustrating, but I do like the sound so I will try to fix it.UPDATE: sent it back to Audio Technica for warranty repair. They didn’t have the parts so they just sent me a AT-LP120 instead. I suspect the design for the LP70 is just flawed.

Lots of solid tech, built in phono preamp, tracking &c set at factory.(I'm a professional audio engineer)The good: rock solid, silent motor. No noise, no hum, no whine no nothing. This is no small thing!Ingenious cue damping, and automatic works well.Simple, elegant design. Looks sharp. Lid locks and works well.Tonearm tracks perfectly out of the box.Decent if vanilla cartridgeThe bad: no way to use a nice cartridge, which is too bad considering how great everything else isStock stylus is only OK, a little bright, a little reedy. Slightly woolly bass.No place to store 45 adapterMatt was not perfectly round....no real biggie

Just turned 70 and got tired of having to get up to start then stop my audiophile type turntable. Solution, why not try a fully automatic turntable for a change but which one. I did not like the styles of the existing automatic turntable until I saw a review of the Audio Technica AT-LP70-BZ on a Youtube channel. It looked okay but how would it sound. I decided to take a chance and find out for myself, to my surprise the AT-LP70 looks beautiful in black and bronze and it sounds really good with the Blue conical stylus. I have ordered the black elliptical AT stylus to finish the set up for now. I am very pleased with this turntable it makes listening to my albums fun again like it should be, simple and relaxing.

This turntable looks just beautiful, and sounds fantastic. Trouble is, after about 3 weeks, it starts to skip. Just a little at first, on older albums. The it starts to skip on everything. No matter how much the album is cleaned and nothing visible, it will continually skip, sometimes multiple times per song. It's almost as if the tone arm isn't weighted enough. Had to return and upgrade to a Fluance; hopefully that one will be better.

It's a great looking turntable- It gets full marks for that. On new, pristine records it sounds and performs wonderfully. The build quality feels pretty cheap. It's light, thin plastic. Components are fine I suppose, but I don't know enough about them. Performance on less-than-perfect vinyl has been very disappointing. Stuff that used to play fine on my old 90s turntable skip like a stone on this, and it will be stuck repeating the same bit until I come over and move over it, it skips when there's no visible flaws, and after a good cleaning as well. There's no tracking adjustments, but adding a 1g weight to the tonearms will at least get the move past the skip, rather than get hung up on it.Unfortunately I was only playing new vinyl for the first few months I had it, so I missed the return period, and this doesn't seem to be a flaw in the turntable, so I doubt the manufacturer will be able to do anything, so I'm stuck with it, along with a few dozen vinyl I can't listen to. I should have held out for something more adjustable and proven.Bumping down to two stars from three after this turntable was unable to make it through 3 out of 3 new vinyl I purchased today without skipping (gets stuck repeating multiple times throughout each album), this is unacceptable.
