    • Better than the ATLP120, but still needs some attention
Color: Black Style: Turntable
First let me preface this by saying that I am coming at this review from an adult's perspective of nearly 60 years of living with various phonographs and turntables my entire life. Now, As a broadcast engineer, who has dealt with broadcast tables, home stereos of many ilks and various component systems down through the decades, I feel I can assert a word of authority on the subject. Prior to the LP140, I had AT's introductory LP120USB. As far as I'm concerned, the LP120 it doesn't even make a decent component TT. Just hand it over to the kids to play, because, it's fraught with problems. Some of which I would have been willing to repair if it weren't for one major flaw that was irreparable. Even after lubricating the motor bearing, the 3 phase cogging noise from the motor was unbearable as it transferred through the platter right to the stylus. Yes, I could have sprayed rubberized coatings on my platter, dampen it with cork, or done other ridiculous things, but that annoying sound, the hum and lack of high frequencies, even with the removal of the USB amp, just made it untenable. So, based on a few reviews on the LP140, I wanted to see if any of the old issues persisted in this newer model. AT has stepped up and remedied a few things. First, the motor noise is finally gone, also, the high frequency response is greatly improved by having no USB amp onboard and the use of high-quality low capacity cables with about 100pF capacitance per foot solved a lot of the rolloff problems. Also, they have set the platter lower and modeled the LP140 after the Technics 1200 series by adopting a tone arm adjuster that's slightly recessed with slightly thinner platter. The whole thing allows the vinyl record to be addressed by the tone arm on a much more intimate plane without setting up so high. Consequently, the dust cover now has a lower profile and is slimmer looking. A few things still bother me about the LP140, that is the blinding blue LEDs and the shock absorber feet, among others. I would have much preferred if they would have stayed with a the classic red LEDs of the LP120, they didn't blind you when attending to the player in a darkened room but the blue lights are so strong, it causes my eyes to be blinded by all the twinkling effects in my already-blue-sensitive eyes. The feet, just as on the LP120, act as suction cups as soon as it's placed on a solid surface. You have to pry each foot up to move the table and hope the remaining feet don't re-attach to the surface it's sitting on. The adjusters are nice, but I still couldn't get it to level completely until I stuck furniture pucks under the feet, then it leveled right up for some reason. I'm using the pucks so I can scoot the turntable a bit, so I can clean and dust around it without it sticking to the turntable stand, otherwise, I'd have to set the unit on a towel. As to performance, here are some observations: while much quieter than it's LP120 progenitor it still has a couple of quirks, they are minor and could be addressed easily by AT QC. One is the anti-skate. While it works and the LP120 did not work at all, the LP140 anti-skate is a bit wonky. I set my stylus pressure to 2.5 grams, but the corresponding weight the anti-skate must be set to is closer to 2 grams on the dial based on a blank disc skate test. Also, it's inconsistent, it might hold the tone arm out at about the run-in area of the record, any closer inward and the skating action easily overwhelms the anti-skate and pulls the stylus right into the center. Also, as you adjust the anti-skate to find the neutral spot, the adjustment has to be brought way out of calibration before you see any pull back, once it pulls back, you could be a gram or two off, then you have to gradually bring it in by turning the dial slowly until you see it start to wobble. So, instead of finding the steady anti-skate spot, it acts very unstable and can go one way or the other quite easily on its own. Unlike, good quality turntables of yore, this unit's anti-skate just can't seem to be brought in smoothly without it over or undershooting, even at the exact same setting. There doesn't seem to be any finesse with the control. I erred on the side of more anti-skate than less, just in case the spring gets weaker with time. We shall see. Also, sorry AT, but your cartridge you put on this is decent but not great. I swapped out to my old Pioneer head shell with my Shure M44-7 mounted on it, and the difference was palpable. While not an audiophile cartridge, it was clear the M44 could produce cleaner and more dynamic highs and lower bass than the AT stock cartridge and stylus. Granted the M44 costs over twice as much, it's still a better sounding DJ cartridge than the AT is. I know AT sells this cartridge for around $40, but I have an old Realistic RXP3 that does better for the same price, and that cartridge and stylus was made by Shure as well. So, while it's fine for getting you started with this table, a better cartridge and stylus right out of the gate are going to let you unveil what this table more accurately sounds like. I do like the beautiful casting of the new platter, the way the strobe is jewel-like in appearance gives the table a more refined appearance, and I like the black, it matches my Yamaha RX-V6A much better than the silver/black motif of the LP120. For snobby audiophiles who think there is no use for the stuff sitting on top of these kinds of tables that might just happen to make a little noise (however than can happen is beyond me), you might want to be clued in to one critical thing you didn't know about vintage records, particularly so-called 78's. Not all "78's" were true 78's. Some record companies had no way to really know if their lathes were truly spinning at 78 RPM, not only that, earlier recordings were recorded at 72, 75, 76, 80, 82 & 84 RPM before a standard was ever truly adopted. Some of the Pathe discs were recorded at extremely reduced speeds, like 64 RPM for longer play times for symphonic works or live event recordings. There's even examples of this in some of the Columbia and Victor 12 and 14 inch albums. Therefore, the untidy speed adjuster which sits so prominently atop the chassis of DJ tables actually is useful for getting the pitch correct on antique recordings with the help of a modern day guitar tuning app with a visual interface to show spectral audio information. I have corrected many old recordings for pitch using this method, totally ignoring the fixed 78 RPM setting of the table. Remember, 78 RPM in those days was an approximation. There was no IHF or RIAA or NAB to set turntable standards in those days. So, when it comes to the use of a DJ table in audiophile situations, I think you should keep an open mind. The braking on the LP140 is a little less tight than on it's LP120 cousin. On that point, the table also backs up about 1/32 of a revolution when it brakes, which I think is a no-no on a DJ table. I did like how quickly the LP120 could brake, but the 140 is a little bit more sloppy. It's OK, but not what I'm used to when compared to a Technics or a broadcast table like a QRK. The startup, on the other hand, seems to be pretty good. The motor torque is substantially better on the 140 over the weak 120. DJ's will like this a lot better for slip cueing. It comes with the obligatory felt mat, which I changed to a heavy rubber mat first thing, I won't be DJing with this, so the felt is gone. The 45 adapter is still the nice machined aluminum it was on the LP120, very high quality polish to it. The spindle seems just a shade smaller than the 120, the rubber mat flopped on pretty easily, unlike the 120 which I had to snug down around the spindle with my fingers. It doesn't seem to affect record placement accuracy. I didn't notice any eccentricity that would affect playback of the disc. The tactile buttons are similar to the 120, aand feel nice. The slider for the pitch adjust does have a fair 0 center detent. Not totally smooth, but still passable. The target light pops up suddenly and is rather clunky, I would have liked to have seen this feature get the damper treatment as seen on the Technics 1200, it wouldn't have cost much to do, there are clever ways to do it with a mechanical spring governor without using damping fluid. Also, the cue lever has been slightly improved, the tone arm does drop and raise a tad slower than on the 120, so AT did address the sudden arm dropping issue. So now I feel a bit more confident about how my groove and stylus is being treated. On the 120, I just preferred to do it by hand, I could be much gentler than the cueing lever ever could. The arm lock will snap fairly confidently to hold the arm, though it doesn't seem as robust as older models of tables had been. If you transport it, I think I would still use a twistie tie, or velcro fastener to hold it down. Always remove the head shell and cartridge for transport, you won't regret it. Speaking of head shells, the stock head shell with this made terrible noise when it was first attached. I had to re-seat it a few times and wriggle it on the azimuth to get it to quiet down. My old Pioneer TT head shell fastened on without any noise issue whatsoever, even if I tried to wriggle it, which I couldn't. This tells me the tonearm P mount is manufactured to the correct tolerances, the head shell, however, isn't. So, no matter how fancy the new head shell design may look, I think I would be looking for a higher quality head shell to mount my cartridge in than what comes with the LP140. On that note, however, the azimuth, tangency and overhang were correct according to all my protractors. So AT did a fine job on the pre-mount on the head shell. I've heard on some reviews this is a conical stylus, but I heard an AT rep clearly say this version of the cartridge is a spherical stylus, the next one up is elliptical and the third on up is also elliptical with reverse spherical facet which would make it a chisel tip suitable for back cueing. You should be able to back cue with all of the stylus cuts, but conical is still the safest bet for that kind of work, again the M44-7 is still the best for DJ work. So, AT addressed the motor noise (seems totally inaudible through the platter to stylus pickup now), hum and buzz appear to be completely ameliorated, improved slower arm cue lifter, and improved anti-skate (sort of works) over the LP120. Still bad are sticking feet, target light and arm lock, bad head shell (electrically and too low of density) and blinding blue lighting. A significant improvement has been made on platter density (now with rubber dampening on bottom of platter), arm leveler is now slightly recessed for better angular approach to the platter, smaller platter profile thickness also improves arm angle of address to the vinyl, dust cover has a thinner profile because of the slight recesses to the above mentioned and greatly improved motor torque. Also a significant improvement to dynamic range and high frequency response with the removal of USB and the addition of really high quality, low-noise RCA cables which can be easily replaced because of the plugin sockets on the chassis, also built-in ground wire keeps the ground coupling close to the RCA shields, further reducing noise. The cover is a tad easier to lift one-handed now that it weighs less. The switch to an IEC standard power cord is welcome. For those who complain about it falling out, you have to make sure it's firmly in the socket. I was sloppy about it at first and the unit wouldn't even power up until I figured out the plug wasn't all the way in yet. Once in, it will be hard to pull out. Also improved, although a small thing, the cover hinges insert with some resistance into the plinth sockets, therefore won't as easily fall out when removing the cover. Though I didn't measure it, it seems slightly lighter than the LP120, and the footprint seems a little less wide and deep, making the turntable a little more space efficient and less foreboding on the stand. I would have liked the spare head shell socket to be back where it was on the LP120, but no big deal, I just like to keep my 78 stylus in the location where the spare socket is on the 140. I'm glad they kept the 45 adapter storage in the same place, It's convenient there. Overall, a much more palatable offering from AT than it's first foray into turntables with the LP120USB. I hope turntable manufacturers become less enchanted with built-in USB, it is a hindrance, rather than a help, to people serious about using a turntable. There are adapters for that kind of thing if you really need USB that badly. If I have any other observations, I'll update accordingly. Update: 05DEC20 been noticing a ever-so-slight wobble in the strobe at 33.3 RPM, 45 and 78. Odd, too, the strobe doesn't shift bands on the platter when the speed is changed, it scopes to the same band, so I don't know what the purpose of the rest of the stroboscope bands on the platter are for. I haven't checked it against a standard strobe disc. I'll update when I find out. I hope the platter strobe isn't off, it would be a shame if the strobe on the platter isn't accurate, but the same wobble happens in every revolution no matter the speed, so it could be that the strobe on the platter isn't right. It's only appears to be slightly audible, I haven't dug out my old test tone records to really give whirl, but I will now. Update 30DEC20: Speed is steady, according to stroboscopic disc. So the slight variance shown on the platte strobe must be in the casting of the platter. No biggie. Also, through observation, figured out the other stroboscopic bands are for 4% under speed and 4 & 8% over speed, respectively. Also correlates with the 8 & 16%. The LED flicker timing must change for each speed selected to keep the same band from moving on all speeds. Been working with new headshells and using a Technics overhang gauge to get spectacular results, rarely do I need a protractor any more, although, I do check it sometimes out of curiosity. You shouldn't have to tilt your cart inward if you have the overhang right. Highly recommend that all serious turntable enthusiasts get an overhang gauge to measure where the tip of their stylus falls in relation to the headshell mounting collet. It cures a ton of fiddling with the protractor. Also, make sure the pitch control is set on center detent when not using it. The TT defaults to no quartz lock when it's first turned on, so your speed will be out of kilter first thing when you turn it on, if the control is off the detent. Common Audio Technica, the TT should come on in quartz locked mode, not unlocked mode! ... show more

I have owned many turntables over the years, and have never spent more than 1000k for a turntable. I am replacing a Technics SL1200MK2 which saw quite a bit of use before I bought it used. I bought a new European version of the SL1200MK2 years ago and liked it but ultimately sold it. My first choice for a new deck was the 1200MK7 or 1210GR but I didn't want to spend that much, so enter the AT-LP140XP. The AT-LP140XP arrived today and I had it set up in less than 20 minutes. I expect that someone new to turntables would take longer but it really is an easy set up. The deck feels solid, not as solid as the SL1200MK2, but it's definitely got some heft. I replaced the cart with the Ortofon MM Blue, and the felt mat for a cork one. The power cords and RCA cables also feel sturdy. The only build feature that falls short is the cheesy feeling tone arm lift. The deck looks sharp! I bought it in black. The LED cue light and strobe are blue give it a sleek look against the black. First I listened to Pink Floyd DSOTM, then onto Bowie Station to Station. I'm not going to go into the a lot of details around nuances until I have more hours on it, but I can say that it sounds clear and clean, compared to my SL1200s and other classic Technics and Pioneer turntables. Just for fun I put the stock cartridge back on it and played some 70s 12 inch singles. At first listen the stock cartridge sounds like it might be good for rock or disco. It sounds able. I have several carts so I went right for an upgrade. I'll post an update after more time with the turntable... Update 2 days later: The turntable is going back. I just can't deal with the tone arm lift. It devalues the whole turntable. It's clunky and flimsy. It's a shame they didn't pay more attention to it because this is a decent turntable that feels solid in every other way. The other thing that is sort of distracting is the blue cue light. It seems more decorative than anything. I couldn't imagine using it to cue in low light. I would recommend this as a solid turntable for a DJ that is not planning on using the tone arm lift, or for someone that has never had a better turntable. If you can swing it, buy a Technics, even a used one. The AT-LP140XP is not a replacement for an SL1200MK line turntable. My next turntable will be a new SL1200MK... ... show more
