A great turntable. I’ve upgraded the stylus to the red one (£130 microline one) and it sounds fantastic. Although the stock green stylus is still great. A commenter on another video/Chanel berated me and another reviewer and claimed this turntable was ‘junk’ and that I should do my research. Believe all the numerous reviews about this turntable and ignore the occasional hi-fi snobs who are distrustful of anything at this price.

Great video and production quality! Could you possibly make a video on upgrades for the lp120x. I'm interested in what different mats would do (acrylic, cork, etc.) as well as the cartridge, preamp, and other factors. Also how would you say this compares when it comes to DJing vs the Technics?

I will add this to some of the points I cover 👍🏼 being honest I’ve not done enough research on the DJing side of things, I do know the Technics turntable is built like a tank, so would trust it would outlive the audio technica if you was a mobile DJ

I’m a former long-time club deejay, and I bought two of this turntable’s bigger brothers, the AT-140XP. The only thing I regret is having said, in comments on another video, that I could not ride the pitch on these tables like I used to do back in the last century on my Tech 12s (doing a long mix without need to manually maintain speed). I need to correct that now, because it turns out the problem was just one of familiarity. As my memory has it, my old 1200 mk2s had slightly less torque, and apparently that affects the “feel” of the pitch adjustments. So it just took some getting used to. The AT-LP140XP is a superb turntable, about as good as my old Technics’ but perhaps - time will tell - not as durable. Although the build-quality is quite good, these don’t feel quite as top-of-the-line as did the Mk2s. If you’re a serious deejay, I would definitely recommend spending the extra cash for the 140 over the AT-LP120X as your entry-level model. If you play your music loud, you’ll appreciate the dampened platter, and also the more deejay-friendly cartridge that comes with it. If you just want a simple setup for cueing and playing records continuously, radio-style, the 120s are fine. If you’re using them in any kind of club or large public area, definitely get some good-quality external preamps and use the phone-out jacks. The built-in preamps don’t handle heavy bass well, from what I understand. The 120s are actually an excellent choice for new deejays in one respect: the torque of the direct-drive motor is rather weak, which will require you to develop a super-light touch if you mix or scratch. That light touch will serve you very well later on when you upgrade to higher-torque tables, and it’s worth noting that the Technics SL1200-Mk2s had lower torque than most of the superOEM tables available today.

Everyone dresses them up to be the great alternative to the real thing. They know if they can appeal to the masses, not only will they get more views on the video, but they'll be getting a higher number of subscribers as well. It's the same thing VinylEyezz does on his videos. He knows warm fuzzies come from telling people audio technica is great because he knows that's what everyone wants to hear. AT turntables are a mistake. I'm telling people as fair warning. Don't be taken in like I was. I had to wake up from my mistakes.

Hey Mike, the buttons, apart from use as a gimmicky DJ tool, this option is useful for dedicated 78 users who know that 78rpm discs rarely run exactly at 78rpm. Different record labels cut their discs at different speeds. For example, British-made Columbias tended to be recorded at a speed between 78 and 81rpm, those made in America often played correctly at 76 or 77rpm :)

I destroyed multiple albums that I had to repurchase because of the LP60, so no it is NOT a good turntable. A logical person would be grateful to those that go out of their way to spread the truth no matter how direct it is. Sorry that I _"broke the warm fuzzy vibe"_ but LP's are not CD's and there is far more physics going on than you could possibly know in this hobby. Don't get defensive with me just because your emotional response is clouding your judgment of what is really going through my head on my end. I've made my own mistakes in this hobby, but I had to wake up to the reality of it, and I'm all the more perturbed that I didn't have more people warning me of the facts. Ignorance is not bliss, and people have a right to know the truth.

Hi man thanks for this. I set up mine this afternoon. I have a question in case you or someone can give me a suggestion. I found the arm balance easily but the issue is that when i found that balance by chance or no idea how the corresponding number on the counterweight was already zero. So i just left it like that and turned the counterweight until no. 2 and adjusted the anti skate at 2 as suggested by an official set up video i found on you tube. Do you think that is ok? It seems working fine i just want to do the correct thing not to damage the cartridge or the vinyls. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Buddy, no problem. Once you have adjusted the counterweight so that the arm "floats" you then turn the front dial only to zero, making sure you don't turn the counterweight. you can then turn the counterweight so that the dial is then on 2 (this is if you are using the standard cartridge supplied) I hope this makes sense. Enjoy your new turntable :)

Yes in general that is what i did.but as I tried to explain for some reasons when i found the balance the corresponding number on the counterweight was already zero! Therefore i did not move it i left it like that but only turned the counterweight at 2 and set anti skate at 2. Do you think is it ok? Cheers

I ask cause in every video the guys after finding the balance arm floating etc then they turned the dial thing at zero.but in my case when i found that balance the thing was on zero already so i did not turn it or touch it anymore. If it sounds ok to you then good. Thanks man.

@@svobodasimon1185 yeah I know what you mean, was just a coincidence that when you balanced the arm it was already at zero, meaning all you needed to do was just turn the counterweight so that it was then set in 2. You will be good to go and safe to use. Enjoy 😉

The SL-1200 isn't just a higher end turntable. It's the father to all SL-1200 imitation direct drive turntables. Especially considering the original 1979 mark II design is the same design that Technics stuck with over all these years. So I would preface that as the very reason for the very existence of all other imitation turntables made by audio technica, stanton, numark, reloop, gemini, etc. etc. They're all cheaply made hollowed out plastic turntables where manufacturers cut corners left and right. Save your money and go all the way, or don't do it at all. I had to learn from my mistakes. Buy it nice, or buy it twice.

@@TechUnboxedWithDan there's so many. For example a Yamaha yp701. Was top of the line at time of manufacturing. One on eBay now for $145. Pretty much any 70's and 80's Japanese if it's over 8 kilos in weight. Used planar 1 or 2. Even a 60's elac is far superior. Tons of sixties gear, equipped with a New cartridge will slay it. I bought a VPI plinth Denon dp75 with a Syrinx arm for $250 US a true giant killer. weighs 25 kilos. Far superior to a real Tecnics 1200 any day. (Technics have lame arms, really no comparison) Literally any day there's a thousand better tables on ebay for $250 or less. Kick that up to $500-$750 and you can get a fantastic table. Why would you even want Chinese junk built by slave labor? Be responsible. Recycle for the win!
