A great turntable gets an upgrade

Audio-Technica had a hit with the original AT-LP5, but they had a few more features they wanted to add. The AT-LP5X retains the built-in USB output that lets you use your computer to digitize your albums so you can take them with you when you're on the go. It also keeps the built-in phono preamp, but the new version is compatible with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. They also added a quieter low-torque motor, an upgraded cartridge and headshell, and the ability to play 78 rpm records. It's an excellent turntable made even better — call it the "X factor."

Product highlights:

  • USB Type-B output lets you convert vinyl records to digital audio files using your computer
  • built-in switchable phono preamp for moving magnet and moving coil cartridges
    • when switch is set to LINE, turntable must be connected to a standard line input (labeled AUX, CD, or TAPE)
