The verdict
Audio-Technica AT-LP70X Automatic Turntable
500+ bought last month
ColorBlack/Bronze
GOOD PRICE.
This is a fully automatic turntable that handles both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and is designed for people getting into vinyl without needing a lot of technical knowledge. It comes with a built-in preamp so you can connect it directly to powered speakers or a stereo system, and it has a decent cartridge and tonearm built in rather than requiring you to buy those separately.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The turntable is fully automatic, meaning it starts playing when you lower the tonearm and stops when the record ends, so you don't have to manually manage the mechanics.
- It has a built-in preamp that you can switch between phono and line output, giving you flexibility in how you connect it to your audio system.
- The stylus can be swapped out for different types from Audio-Technica's VM95 series if you want to upgrade the sound later without replacing the whole cartridge.
As of Aug 14, the Audio-Technica AT-LP70X Automatic Turntable is a good price at $249 — versus a $262.40 typical price and a $159 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
