Audio-Technica AT-LP7X The AT-LP7X fully manual belt-drive turntable blends analog excellence with style and versatility. Featuring a dense MDF plinth and acrylic platter to minimize unwanted resonance and vibration, this elegant, matte-black turntable delivers sound that's just as clean and refined as its appearance. In designing the LP7X, we paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking. The J-shaped aluminum tonearm, inspired by classic A-T models of the 1960s and '70s, features a dual-axis gimbal with precision ball bearings to further enhance tracking performance. Premium Cartridge Comes with AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. Versatile Configuration VTA adjustment and 16g subcounterweight allow use of cartridge/headshell combinations up to 23.5g. Optional 32g subcounterweight enables combinations up to 28.5g. Acrylic Platter 20mm high-density acrylic platter dampens vibrations for supremely quiet playback, allowing the brilliance and detail of your vinyl records to shine through. Precision Geometry Chassis and tonearm geometry optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking with J-shaped aluminum tonearm featuring dual-axis gimbal with precision ball bearings. Built-in Phono Pre-amp Switchable phono pre-amplifier with selectable modes for MM (moving magnet) or MC (moving coil) cartridges for maximum flexibility. Sensor-Monitored Motor Optical sensor-monitored DC servo motor ensures continuously accurate platter rotation at 33-1/3 or 45 RPM, mounted on vibration-dampening rubber bushings.
