  • My first turntable and I'm glad I went with this
Style: AT-LPW40WN Pattern Name: Turntable
This is my first turntable. I did a lot of research and went back on forth on different brands, different models. Fluance RT83 - RT85, Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo, T1 Phono SB or the Drop+Audio Technica VTA version of this AT-LPW40WN. The Fluance tables are too beefy looking for me. I get that they are a lot of value for money, but I didn't like how it looks. Yes, a turntable is about the sound, but I also have to look at this thing in my house. The beefy plinth was just not my cup of tea. So moving on to the other TTs. Pro-Ject TTs were on the top of my list, however the price, while I can afford it, do I really want to spend that much on my first go at this hobby? My wife would've probably killed me. We're down to Drop+AT VTA. I was ready to buy one, however they increased the price overnight to $400. While I liked the entire package, I didn't appreciate the price increase. So I looked at this turntable that the Drop+AT VTA was based off of, the AT-LPW40WN (does Audio Technica use the same product naming team as Sony?) Anyways, I found an AT-LPW40WN an online retailer was selling for $299.99 and sadly when I was about to pull the trigger on it, someone had bought the last one. Now I'm searching through Amazon. I know there was a price increase on these and on the day I was ready to buy, I scored a "Like New" warehouse deal that was very close in price of the original MSRP. When the TT was delivered, the box was a little beat, and I was getting ready for the worse. However once I opened it up, everything was as advertised, "Like New." It was never setup by anyone, and was just an open box. I took the parts out, took the included quick start manual. The instructions were enough for me and I put the whole TT together without any issues. I read some people felt the instructions were minimal, however, I feel if you can put together IKEA furniture, you can put together this TT. Maybe the only thing that needed more guidance was the balancing of the tone arm and the anti-skate. Everything else was straightforward. I was able to do all this with just the manual. Keep in mind, this is the first time I've ever set up a TT. Audio Technica has a setup video that is very helpful for those who need visual guidance on setting this up. Onto the sound. Sound is very subjective, you might think differently from me. This TT sounds really good to me out of the box with the internal phono preamp. I am using Edifier R1280DBS speakers. I had also initially plugged this TT into my Vizio soundbar and the sound was fine as well. So called "audiophiles" would explode hearing that. But they're not really the clientele this TT is going after. At this price point, there's a lot of value here in terms of sound, looks, specs and functionality. The AT-LPW40WN is a nice turntable that is not too entry level, and has some room (not a lot) of upgradeability for people to tinker with in the future, such as, different VM95 series cartridge, mats, stabilizers. So what is the con? After owning it for 2-3 days, a few turns of the speed knob, the glue that held it together came apart. so I thought the speed knob was broken. Because it kept spinning in place. I happened to realize the knob is just a cover of the actual knob that turns. When I pulled it up, I was surprised barely any glue was used. I can fix it with some gorilla glue myself, its not big deal, but I would've liked for it to not had come off in the first place after 2-3 days of ownership. Even now, without me fixing it with glue, the knob turns fine, unless I try to make it spin on purpose. Another con is probably the inability to use Q-Up. There's not enough space to add that, it would have been nice to not have to rush back to lift the tone arm once a record is done playing. But you kind of know that going into this purchase that this is a fully manual turntable, can't really complain. My current setup is AT-LPW40WN, iFi Zen Phono, Edifier R1280DBs. As a first time TT owner, I'd have to say the decision process was the hardest part. To make it easier, you REALLY need to set a firm price point you want to spend. Then start looking at TT's at the price point with the features you want. The sound, the looks, future proof. Trusted Youtubers help, but ultimately it comes down to you. I'm glad this TT worked out for me. ... show more

  • Near audiophile quality for much less
Style: AT-LPW50PB Pattern Name: Turntable
The media could not be loaded. As an old “audiophile” and musician, I needed to replace my old turntable that finally gave up after 30 years of solid use. I researched many brands and models and wanted to limit my budget to under $500. Space was an issue and a turntable with a large plinth just wouldn’t work. As you can see from the video, it sits on top of the amplifier perfectly. (Yes, I know it’s not the ideal placement!) The unit is solid, heavy and does an admirable job of resisting low bass feedback. The carbon tonearm tracks perfectly. The S/N ratio is surprisingly good considering the price point. Simply said, it’s quiet when it’s supposed to be, and it’s dynamic when it’s needed. The 95E cartridge matched very well with the tonearm and the two present an excellent soundstage and imaging (much better than my old Denon with a Grado cartridge). Although it comes with an inexpensive cartridge, it is updatable with many options and upgrades - something the A95 does better than just about any other brand. I will upgrade to a 95SW needle (when I get another $150 I can use for fun!) I’m a fanatic about quality cables and connections. Thus, I insist on cables that can be replaced and not “built into” the unit. As expected, the cables that come with the unit fit loose and had a noticeable hum at higher volumes. I expected this and replaced them with a high quality replacement cable and ground wire. Solved the problem instantly. With that said, I’ve found it a rare experience when units come with good quality connectors and cables. Do yourself a huge favor and buy a good set of cables when you buy the unit. This turntable and cartridge combination is very hard to beat for under $500. To say I’m satisfied is a very large understatement. ... show more

  • The best compromise there is.
Style: AT-LPW40WN Pattern Name: Turntable
I'll start this review by saying that I spent weeks obsessing over the right replacement for my old LP60, which was a fine table to start with, so anything was going to be an upgrade. Going into my search, my requirements were that I wanted something that was automatic, had a pre-amp built in, had a removable headshell and cables for upgrading, wasn't just black, and was of a quality that it wouldn't breakdown in a couple of years. I had a budget of $300-$400. Much to my dismay, there's not really anything out there that matches that exactly. All of the fully automatic tables seemed cheap or overpriced. The Denon DP-300 had tons of reviews that said it broke down in a few years, it only came in black and the cables were built in. The AT-LP3, which seemed like a winner, had a cheap plastic-y build that just felt unstable. Everything else was a cheap brand like Crosely that I didn't trust. After that research, I figured I needed to expand my budget and I was set on Wirecutter's suggestion of a Denon DP-400. It had only auto-stop with arm lift - which felt like the more important half of fully automatic - but it had everything else I was looking for, including coming in white. But it had a really dumb dustcover that you can't use while a record is playing and doesn't really protect the turntable. As a family with cats, it was a deal breaker. I looked into the Fluance tables. They seemed really nice and had auto-stop (but no arm lift) and they came with nice needles already. But the RT-82 and up didn't have a phono pre-amp (which wouldn't have been a dealbreaker). The deal breaker was that I really didn't like the look of it. It was hulking and wanna-be classy. I also didn't like that the cheaper $250 RT-81 that did come with a pre-amp came with the old AT-95E needle instead of the new VM95E that is more upgradable without remounting the cartridge and the motor didn't have a sensor monitoring speed. So I decided to look into fully manual tables. I started with U-Turn and they seem like a great option, but it gets expensive quickly as I added on options. With pre-amp, a decent needle, and the color I wanted, I was quickly getting past $400 (and that was without some basics like a tone arm lift or a dial to select the speed). I did briefly look into old turntables and DJ turntables, but it quickly got too overwhelming for me. I didn't know how long the old tables would last and more of them didn't have preamps anyway. The DJ tables just had too many features I didn't care about and they didn't have the look I wanted. Enter this turntable. I decided that I'd give a fully manual table a try because this had a pre amp, speed dial, tone arm lift, looked great, came with the VM95E needle, had a functional dustcover, removable cables, and had a quality motor with a speed sensor. And the tone arm is carbon fiber, which only seems to be available on tables that are hundreds of dollars more. It even, contrary to some reports on the web, had adjustable feet so you can level it. All in all, it seemed like a lot for the money if I was willing to give up on auto-stop. So I got it and I couldn't be happier. It feels solid, much more substantial than my old LP-60. All the dials and dust cover feel like they'll last a while. It sounds great. Didn't have any issues with ground hum or the table being too boomy. For the record, I'm plugging directly into a Sonos Play 5 for now. It looks excellent. It's not quite as nice as the solid wood U-Turn tables since this is a veneer, but it's a great shade and it's sleek. Do I wish it was automatic? Yes, a bit. But it hasn't been as big of a drag as I thought and I get a kick out of lowering the tone arm lift and watching the needle gently drop. The tone arm mechanism is easy to set up and I cross checked it with a needle tracking force scale and it's accurate. The alignment of the cartridge was spot on out of the box. Everything was packaged safely and securely. So if you're in the some boat as I was - looking for something that will last without breaking into the $500+ range and still gives you a good set of features - I'd highly recommend this turntable. ... show more
