Unboxing My New Audio Technica AT-LP70X

[@markmclaren7577]

Good video I've been thinking about getting this record player mostly for playing all of my old 45s and just for a second turntable

[@RamblingWolfman]

I love mine so far... but I just got done filming an episode pointing out a skipping problem I'm having. I'm not sure if it's a widespread problem, but there is another commenter in the comments here that has two of them, and he seems to be experiencing the same. Stay tuned and let me know what you go with. Thanks.

Good to see you enjoying your hobby 👍

[@RamblingWolfman]

Thanks! I'm definitely doing that!😆 I really look forward to sitting in the recliner listening to my records and cds. Hopefully, as I get older, I get to do that more and more. Thanks for watching and commenting.👍🏻

The anti skate is preset in the factory for the 95.

[@RamblingWolfman]

Thanks for the info. I couldn't remember if I had heard or read that(have looked at so many different turntables), but now you have confirmed it.👍🏻

[@husky0877]

@RamblingWolfman I watch so many turntable videos. I keep thinking about upgrading but not sure. I have a Fluance that I like a lot. But.............

[@husky0877]

You are going to have fun going up the stylus range. From what I have read the 95EN is the sweet spot.

[@RamblingWolfman]

I'm excited to be in the whole 95 series. This one is sounding great, and it only gets better from here!

[@husky0877]

@RamblingWolfman I still like the 91. I have an elliptical stylus and it sounds great. Keep thinking of trying a 95.

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

Interestingly enough, I started with the original green AT95E on my LP120, then upgraded to the 95ML microline on the pre installed headshell package with the newer VM cart body (which got rid of the elliptical's inner groove distortion) and as that stylus is beginning to wear down now, I'm thinking of trying the nude elliptical (EN) as a stylus tip replacement. I'm hoping that maybe the nude will split the difference between cost and performance.

[@husky0877]

I like the Duracell colour way.

[@RamblingWolfman]

That's a great description of the color scheme!👍🏻

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

Does that come with the CONICAL stylus from the 95 range?

[@RamblingWolfman]

It sure does. It is the blue one or the "c," if you will. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍🏻

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

@RamblingWolfman Thanks for getting back to me; indeed, the blue gave it away. How's the sound on the conical? I've only heard the elliptical and microline.

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

@RamblingWolfman Yeah, the blue kind of gave it away; how's the sound on the conical? I've only heard the elliptical and microline from the 95 range thus far.

@@RamblingWolfman Sorry for the triple posts; didn't think any of them were going through......

[@slothsquatch5023]

Dang it, my post got removed. Anyways, if it sounds as good as it looks, you're in for a real treat!

[@RamblingWolfman]

Thanks, Slothsquatch! I did a little Mailtime last night, and dang, man, you must know me or something!🤗 I don't want to give any spoilers in the comment section, but you absolutely nailed it!👌

[@slothsquatch5023]

@@RamblingWolfman HaHa, I think we are closer to age than I am to Tick so we for sure listened to some of the same music. Glad you liked it and looking forward to the mailtime!

[@wobblinwheel]

Hey, have you played many (any?) albums all the way through? I'm having seemingly random SKIPPING issues with my two LP70's that I bought about two weeks ago. Sometimes they skip forward, sometimes backwards. Sometimes not at all...have you experienced this??

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

Have you tried increasing the tracking force?

[@RamblingWolfman]

I'm not sure, but let me say this. I have had a little more skipping than my last turntable, and I'm not sure why. I did record an episode last night and talked about this potential problem. Hopefully, that will be out soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@wobblinwheel]

@@MikeMargolis-j8f on this turntable, you can't...

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

​@@wobblinwheel There is no counterweight on the arm to dial in VTF? Edit: I just noticed that it doesn't have a counterweight - and now I see why. It's the replacement or upgrade for the 60, correct? That deck never had adjustments for vital parameters. My apologies for my original suggestion; didn't realize at first that this model did not have adjustable features.
