Fully manual- So muß das ;-) 40 years ago when turntables were still in use I pimped them. My bros were amazed that pulling stuff out makes them better;-) Aw ,good all days. I heard my first Nitty Gritty. That's when I decided to make my own "washing maschine" Mostly made of good "trash" and spare model stuff. I only had~500 albums but they were sooo good. In mint condition after being cleaned by me Those were the days my friend....🎼
The AS feature works on all their turntables except for one particular series (generation) of Lp120 but it was finally resolved in 2017. Unfortunately due to certain RU-vid channels this issue gets repeated over and over again like a broken record and keeps causing misunderstandings.
@@Trekkie4 Sorry for replying so late to your comment, but would you mind saying which one is the generation with AS issues on the AT-LP120 line? I've got one from 2014...
@@AndreAbascal It is very difficult to tell... You SHOULD be okay, but then again I don't really know when the anti-skate problem first appeared and/or for how long it was present. In either case you should be fine, I personally owned LP120 from 2016 which had AS issue and I can tell you that regardless of all the hype about it, it honestly didn't cause that much problems, and barely made any difference to begin with. Sound image was always centered (with both left & right channels equally loud), and it didn't have any tracking issues whatsoever. I suppose some people would argue about uneven stylus & groove wear but that is a whole other subject for some other occasion.
Not sure what you mean by "beating" @user-rg2ng4tl3o - if you mean the record looks slightly warped then you are correct, it is. This has nothing to do with the record player, rather poor quality control from some of the software manufacturers.
Technics and AudioTechnica have always known that belt drive is better than direct drive but direct drive turntables are simpler and cheaper to make. With marketing they have convinced many that direct drive is better. But there is a reason why ALL high end turntables are belt driven.
It is actually the opposite, the marketing convinced people with money that belt drives are better. The Neumann cutting lathe are all direct drive ! So even if u get a belt drive, you will hear a direct drive cut vinyl. Direct drive is the closest to the actual performance.
