AT-LP140XP Setup | Direct-Drive Professional DJ Turntable 

Mine will be arriving next Sunday, I’m excited to use it!

bought it today~ hope it will be as great as it looks\

Hi Maxim! The tonearm height adjustment is correct when the tonearm is level (parallel to the record surface) while the record is being played at the recommended vertical tracking force (2.0 grams in this case) for the stylus. Thanks! - A-T USA

Hi there! If you need assistance with setup or if this problem occurs with the new turntable, please contact our Audio Solutions team for help at audio-solutions@atus.com. Thanks! - A-T USA

You need to ground it and use a pre-amp

Hi there! The AT-LP140XP is a fully manual turntable with no built-in automatic tonearm lifter. This turntable is equipped with a start/stop button, but will not auto-power off. Thanks! - A-T USA

I just ordered one of these today. I finally got sick of my Technics belt-drive and its speed issues and lack of anti-skate. I can't wait until it shows up!

This isn’t the superOEM model; for Audio-Technica, that would be the LP-1240. And yeah, the superOEMs do rival the Technics 1200 and even exceed it in some measurements, but not all. I have two Reloop 7000 mk2 models, and they’re better than Technics 1200 mk7 in terms of build quality, isolation and direct-drive torque, but the 1200 mk7 is the best at holding a steady pitch for long beat-mixed transitions. The Reloop 7000 mk2 and 8000 mk2 have metal construction and metal buttons (and I think the same is true of the superOEM Pioneer PLX-1000 and maybe the AT-1240 as well), while the Technics 1200 mk7 is mostly plastic and lightweight. I deejayed with 1200 mk2s for many years, and I can say that my Reloops feel more like the old 1200s than does the Technics 1200 mk7.

How much you selling it for?

@@alexhiggins7307 you need the 120

The XP cartridge lineup can fit the VM95 stylii series IIRC. And there are some decent ones in there. I am running an AT-VM95ML which is very balanced and has good detail.

@@barryBPM lp5 or 120, which one would be better. Any suggestion?

Hi there! The Technics 52mm overhang gauge is measured from the headshell post shoulder (aka flange) to the stylus tip. A-T measures from the center spindle. The 52mm overhang equates to 15mm from the center spindle. The AT-LP140XP has an overhang of 16mm. The AT6180a may be used to properly measure and set the overhang.

Hi Chris! The overhang for the LP140 model is 16mm. You can find helpful information on cartridge alignment here: www.audio-technica.com/en-us/support/audio-solutions-question-of-the-week-how-do-i-align-my-audio-technica-phono-cartridge/ Thanks! - A-T USA

@@AudioTechnicaUSA Thank you! So, the AT6180a gauge is good for the AT-LP140xp?

@@Macchi202 Yes, the AT6180a allows for setting overhang 10-20mm. Thanks! - A-T USA

@@AudioTechnicaUSA Well! Thank you and greetings from Italy. 👍🏻

Hi there. The AT-LP140XP does not have a USB option. Thanks! A-T USA

Choose the model that has the height-adjustable tonearm base as shown in the video. Older models of the 120 still have them, the new ones don't. The 140 as shown here in the video also has it. This is for if you want to use other pickups. (the 2M Red for example) Hope the tipp is helpful for You. with best regards from Vienna Austria PS: both models sound good!

I didn't hear this advise, what marker does he say this??? No never heard this before about replacing the tone arm, you miss understood.

Hi there! Please contact enquiry@audio-technica.co.in for assistance. Thanks! - A-T USA

There's a switch under the platter :)

It's way cheaper

Just imagine all the album's and accessories you can buy with the savings over Technics. 🤔

C Lewis exactly. This looks similar to the new TECHNICS table they are coming out with. It’s going to be $999.

@@TemujinScott80 Once upon a time long long ago I would have jumped all over a Technics. Not anymore. I can get two or three of these for the price of one Technics. I can invest or just save the savings and my music will sound even sweeter.

C Lewis right!!!!! Do you have this table?

Hi! Congrats on your new AT-LP140XP turntable. :) In answer to your question, we suggest that you move up to an AT-XP5, which is an elliptical stylus in that line. Keep in mind that the stylus will only sound as good as the condition of the record. That said, 1g on the counterweight is too low and the tracking force will need to be set between 2-4g (anti-skate needs to match the tracking force). Let us know if you have any follow-up questions, as we are glad to help! - A-T USA

Thank you so Much!!@@AudioTechnicaUSA

Replace the cartridge, the cartridge that comes with this turntable is a dj cartridge and they are not designed to sound good. If your going to replace it then buy a Nagaoka MP-110. Best bang for your buck cartridge.

@@jacobpeck9372 Well that's very satisfying to here!!! "It comes with a DJ cartridge and not designed to sound good'!!???? I've had an LP120 USB stored away and will be opening it up within a few days, and thinking the "factory" stylus should sound good! Will the Nagaoka (non DJ cartridge work with this DJ LP120 turntable) Amazing how the deception runs rampant in the audio community!!!

Welcome to the world of imitation DJ tables and the things that just don't work as well as the real thing.

Audio-Technica USA I returned it, sorry these turntables suck...doesn’t even have time stretch! 👎🏾

la meilleure platine j ai une 120 le top

@@Iamdjaps I was considering these for DJ use. What do you mean by "they don't have time stretch"? TIA.

These are aimed more at club DJing - the RP8000 might be more up your alley for scratching

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in the AT-LP140XP. We will forward your feedback to the product development team. - A-T USA

I think it's good that it has no nonsense on the inside, because all the USB and preamp stuff inside introduces noise on the signal.

@@QoraxAudio I can understand but the noise could be quiet and music might override the noise

@@joelrodriguez3785 Jup if the USB output is properly shielded and decoupled from the rest, then it's no problem.

@@weplaywax That won't work, you'll need to do RIAA equalization first. It's better to get a stand-alone phono preamp and connect that to the audio interface for AD conversion.

@@Brotsuppe I opened up my AT and found the part that stops the spring system is completely broken and kind of unreachable. I will try fixing it with a thin nail and some epoxy since the broken part resembles a pretty thin nail. No wonder it broke

Same with the LP 120 😢 I sold it and bought a vintage technics turntable from 1979 full refurbished no problems☺

@@tuturuism A very sloppy ebay seller whom I bought old 120 from threw it fully ass into orig carton and the whole thing was pretty torn up, cosmetic damage to top plinth caused by platter coming loose, AS pin broken, 440Mlb stylus destroyed, scratches inside lid, after telling him about this he said "sorry I was bad and bone headed about it" and refunded me 3/4 of the price I asked of him. The bid was AU$160, the audiophile man told me to bin my swearing when I asked you "does the 140 have shitty ground"

The 120 pre 2017 had very weak spring, models after Jan 17 had this addressed, for owners of old stock, a new spring can be ordered by those who are handy with elec/mechanics, I've done this and 78 records no longer have the arm shoot across the label, making very loud scratch noise
