GOOD PRICE.
This is a manual turntable that plays vinyl records at three different speeds and connects to your computer via USB so you can convert your records to digital files. It's built for people who want hands-on control over their vinyl playback and the option to digitize their collection, with enough adjustability and a quality cartridge to handle serious listening.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- You get both USB output for digitizing records and traditional RCA outputs, plus a built-in switchable phono preamp, so it works whether your stereo has a dedicated phono input or not.
- It plays 78 RPM records in addition to the standard 33 and 45, which matters if you have older vinyl.
- Everything is fully manual, meaning you physically start and stop the platter and control the tonearm yourself, which takes more attention than automatic turntables but gives you more control.
As of Aug 15, the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK Direct-Drive is a good price at $349 — versus a $414.85 typical price and a $219 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
