Audio-Technica AT-LP3

Replaced my dying Sony turntable with this and I love it. It you've never set up a turntable there is a little work to balance and adjust tracking of arm but follow the directions and it's pretty simple.

Good price. Prompt shipping. Simple setup. This turntable fit my needs exactly. A huge upgrade from my 30+ year old zero tracking error Sony which tracked badly after a decades long rest. I am very happy with the stylus as well. No need for an upgrade. Now I am listening to all my old jazz lps and enjoying the fact that I don't have to shut it off when the record ends.

Love, wonderful, music!

It's great! Was easy to setup, and a huge set up from my freebee turntable I found in a basement years ago. No issues, sounds wonderful, packaged really well too. Highly recommend. Hook it up to some nice speakers to complete your setup!

Great player for the money. I got this because I like the fully automatic features. Stylus needs about 10 hours of play before it hits it's "groove". Sounds good. I also liked this because it is able to be upgraded. I will be installing the AT-VM95E cartidge next month and give that one a go.

Bought this as I decided to get back into LP's. If you are looking for a solid record turner do not over look this one. If you do not want the bargain basement cheapy but do not want to spend the hundreds some go for this is it. No frills, bells or whistles. This thing does what it is supposed to and does it great. Comes with a very nice cartridge that sounds very nice going through an older Denon receiver and coming out of B&W 607's. Easy set up. If you want something solid with great quality this is it, look no further.

Nice for the Price

I doubt you could buy a better turntable for the price. The manual and set up was easy for the experienced user. Those new to turntables may have trouble with tonearm setup. The controls are delicate, but at least they are there. The ability to step up to a better cartridge and really make this unit shine. I mounted the VM 520EB instead of the stock cartridge which sounded very good. Now we go from good to GREAT! I tried the onboard phono pre-amp and it was way better than expected, which makes it a good candidate for a unit without phono jacks. I have high end equipment and this sounds good with it. Now well see how long it lasts. With a little TLC it should be quite a while

Spin My Vinyl!

My thirty year old Dual turntable wore out and at my age I need an automatic turntable for ease of use!This turntable received a 5 star review from What Hifi magazine and universally very good customer reviews overall!It took me about a half hour to set up the turntable for use,after reading the instructions in the manual and after watching a video on Youtube!Turntable works perfectly and sound quality is quite good,similar to my old Dual turntable!Only features that are missing from turntable are strobe light and pitch control,which I don't need!A reasonable price for a well made turntable,especially in regard to the metal platter!

Very Nice Turntable

Very nice turntable. The automatic feature is very handy but you can still drop the needle in the groove if you like. I was able to hit it the first time, in a long time. Setup was easy. I initially had the weight too far forward on the arm. The first song would be fine but the second song started to sound funny. I slid the weight back and its been working great. The white looks good for my setup, white speakers. The dust cover is good, stays in place. I would think that this is all most people are going to need.

Worth It

This is easy to put together and works fantastically. I realized after buying that perhaps the ability to connect with bluetooth speakers would have been nice, just for ease and to lessen the clutter of cords. I've had this turntable for a few weeks now and I enjoy using it. Simple as that. I prefer not to use the automatic start, but it's nice that it's there so I can allow friends/family/kids who don't know how to use a turntable to give it a try (while me knowing my records are safe). I definitely recommend this product. It's worth the price. I will update this in a month or two if any problems arise.

I don't regret this buy at all or purchasing it from Crutchfield. It arrived in my mailbox and was everything I was expecting. I can tell this is going to last me some time. If you're new to setting up a turntable (which I was) I would suggest searching a set-up video on Youtube for this model. I'm sure for people with experience this would be a piece of cake.

A perfect turntable

The turntable that I recently purchased is, without doubt, the best turntable I have ever owned. I am a musician and listen to recordings constantly - and have never enjoyed listening as much as I do now. It is quiet, perfect speed and operates perfectly - I couldn't ask for a better piece of studio equipment. Bill Pardus

Great Turntable at a Great Price

Originally bought a manual turntable (also an Audio-Technica) but it required too much attention from some family members to get the stylus onto and off of the record. So, sent that one back (very smooth and simple process with Crutchfield) and got this automatic table. Now, everyone can easily play the records they want to play with no scratches. Table is very simple to assemble, and it plays our old vinyl very clearly.

This tt has all the features I was looking for. It's fully automatic which is a great feature. I gave it 4 stars because I thought the users guide could have been a little more descriptive about putting it together ( tone arm ) I also upgraded the cartridge to a audio technia VM 510 CB , that was a great upgrade from the supplied cartridge. Together they sound amazing !! Wish that a better cartridge was an included option. I chose the white color it is a great looking tt , I love it !! I would recommend it !

Nice product

This turntable is a great way to get back into vinyl. Easy to use and setup. Coordinates nicely with Yamaha receiver RN-303. Comes with stylus cartridge as well. My only potential concern is that it recommends replacing the belt after 1,000 hours of use or thereabouts. If you google this model replacement belt it doesn't appear to be available from Audio Technica or Amazon.

Solid, sleek, easy to use

Got it for my nostalgic wife . . . and she loves it! Made sure it was fully automatic (so no touching the tonearm) and had a built-in preamp (it does), and sounds fantastic with her JBL bluetooth speaker. A bit sensitive to jarring (all turntables are), but it has good weight, doesn't feel or look cheap.

For the first three months I couldn't be more pleased. Then it started and has persisted. The tonearm drops the stylus at lead in. No gentle damping anymore. Same issue with the errily similar Denon DP300f that I had bought a few years back. Only difference is cosmetic. I fault the tonearm assembly that I assume to be made by the same party. I own a Denon DP45f that is of 1982-83 vintage and it is gentle as a lamb after all these years.

Caution bad preamp

The preamp is not great on this. My albums never really came alive until I hooked up another preamp about 4 months after I got it. I possibly got a bad unit and didn't realize it until well past the return date. The turntable is solid, but the the preamp is not usable on my unit.

Great looking unit, worth every penny.

Bought this to replace an old beautiful Dual that had gotten quirky and unreliable. I've been buying from Crutchfield since 1987 and the selection and service remains unmatched. The website made it super easy to narrow down the players and select what was best for me. And this is a great unit. It arrived in a day, and I had it unpacked, set up and playing in 15 minutes. It's fully automatic, and sounds and looks great. Some reviewers recommend buying a new stylus off the bat but if you're just playing it for pleasure and not to drive your neighbors away, the factory stylus is fine. That said, I have cranked it and it still sounds great. When it's time to switch to 45's you just put the included puck in the middle, shift the lever to 7", press the 45rpm button and you're good to go. If my record store ever gets off the ground, I'd order another one of these without a second thought.

After allowing my album collection to gather dust for 30 years I decided to jump on the vinyl resurgence train. After listening to some of the new product out there and some of my older lp's I've concluded I would have been better off to just stick a fork in my eye than to have wasted all those years on compact discs. Initially when I contacted crutchfield I was entertaining spending around a 1000 bucks for a new turntable. After discussing some of the features I prefer such as automatic return with Kay she thought I might be happy with theAT-LP3. Since I was coming in 700 dollars under my projected budget I immediately upgraded to the VM520eb mm cartridge and never even listened to the factory installed cartridge. Assembly of the turntable only took a few minutes. I ordered in black and I think it looks great. If a 1000 dollar turntable sounds appreciable better than the level of dynamic clarity and bass response I'm hearing from this unit then I would probably be unable to handle the experience without just floating to another plane of existence.Im using a Yamaha 1070 amp(comes with phono input) driving a set of klipsch rf280f speakers with a subwoofer.

This AT-LP3 has something my classic Dual turntable and my elegant Beogram Tangential does not have......that would be the ability to actually play a record! This is a great player regardless of price. I thought long and hard about refurbishing the above beauties or spending a bunch on a Thorens, but I'm glad that I didn't!

Vinyl Rules!

Assembly was fairly simple. My only issue was the counterweight on the tonearm. I'm not certain that I have it properly adjusted, and that whole process is less than foolproof. Otherwise, a very good automatic turntable at a fair price.

Great mix of quality and features

I got this for my son, who is going through the retro-vinyl phase... we like the quality and the auto-return feature. The balanced arm is good as well. Too bad this does not have an easy way to adjust the speed. I like where there are rpm markings on the side of the platter so you can tweak things over time. At this price point, I'd give it a full 5 stars if it had that.

The price doesn't reflect the quality

It is too good for this price if you throw away that cheap cartridge and buy a very good one. The arm is a dream with a darker background better than my other turntable with a different cartridge. If you wish to upgrade completely then add a top flight external preamp. Before anyone thinks I'm crazy you must remember the turntable moves the record, and the tonearm supports the cartridge. This arm can handle accurately almost any MM cartridge under $800. The Cartridge and Preamp is where the money is, so invest it there. I'm listening to Blood Sweat and Tears (album BS&T) with every great song they ever made. It has never sound better! In my youth turntables seldom came with cartridges because everyone bought their own. I guess people today just aren't adventuresome or they don't have the technical skill.
