Audio Technica: AT-LP120XUSB Unboxing, Setup and Review! 

This video was very soothing to watch. Your voice is like velvet

i'm getting this for christmas, i currently have a suitcase player and omg it's awful, i finally convinced my parents to allow me to get it for christmas i'm so excited

This is without a doubt one of the BEST setup videos (for anything) that I have seen on RU-vid! You did an excellent job clearly and concisely showing every aspect of the setup. Nothing (that I can think of) was omitted. I am currently deciding to finally bring my 1000's+ vinyl records out of the basement and set up a new turntable & speaker rig. Things have changed a lot in the 25 or more years that I moved to cd. I am looking at the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK Wireless Direct-Drive Turntable so your video really showed me what to expect, as well as how to wire directly from turntable to powered speakers (which is new to me). Thanks for a great setup video.

This guy needs a narration job, voice is so smooth.

Thanks for the guide Tavis! I had some trouble understanding how to properly adjust the counterweight, but with your video i got it working in a jiffy!

mine comes in the mail tomorrow! I’m so excited!! Got my speakers all ready and everything.

Mine just got delivered yesterday and was so confused by most reviews but yours was simple and straight to the point, also loved your positive energy. Thank you so much, can’t wait till my speakers arrive tomorrow

Within the first 30 seconds, I already loved this man. A voice like butter and very clear speech. Overall, excellent review!

This guy might be the most likeable guy on RU-vid

Tavis. I am living in Québec where I was trying to buy this same turntable but the «copper« one. But silver was a debate here with my wife. I wanted to find a clip of a person who opens this box. And there you are. Congratulations ! You are calm. You take your time and speak with a warm tone, a warm voice. You explain very very well, step by step, until you use an Lp or a vinyl. This turntable is a joy for the eyes; but you it is also a joy for the ears. Lucky man ! You are very kind. I should appreciate to have a neighbour like you, here, the next house. The best for you in the future ! I am ready for your next clips. Hello from the north ! Daniel

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better review. This was just what I needed

This is the greatest instructional and unboxing vid of all time. Bless up.

Just bought the black one and i'm waiting for it to arrive! It's been like 25 years since i've listened to my old vinyls... Looking forward to it! And founding your video was a bless! I'll definitely use it as a tutorial when my turntable arrive! Thanks a lot!

i’ve been wanting to get a record player for about a year now. I’ve found the perfect time to get it, i’ll be getting it for my birthday day! (January 23rd) after lots of research, i’ve decided that i will be getting this one. this video has really prepared me for everything i will need to go when i will unbox it. Thank you!

This was just delivered to me a few days ago. The set up instructions were less than minimal. I looked at that stuff and just said "Wha? !!!" Your video was amazing and very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make it, much appreciated.

Beautiful review. Your voice reviewing this turntable is musical. Much appreciated 🎶

Tavis, wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this video. Just finished putting my AT-LP120Xusb turntable together, along with my CR3 speakers. I had plan to purchase these two items together back in Nov. for a Christmas present to myself. Just put on an old George Benson album, wanted to let you know it sounds great! Thanks so much! You made it easy & simple even for this gal of 59.

i just purchased this turntable 4-9-2023 - I loved this setup video! Tavis, you rule all! Will be referring to this video after mine is delivered! This was your first time doing a setup video?!? You did a phenomenal job!!! Thank you for sharing this!

I love you Tavis, this helped me so much!

Here I am almost a year and a half after. I just watched your video and it helped me with my AT-LP120XBT. Thank you Tavis!

I love you Tavis, this helped me with my new lp120

Was having some trouble setting up my LP120X (mainly the counterweight) and this video was exactly what I needed to get it figured out. Well done!

Nice job Tavis, nice speaking voice and done at a nice pace. Great unboxing! I just bought one of these yesterday mid Feb, getting hard to find a silver one, but with some perseverance, I found one and snagged it right away. Really looking forward to listening to a nice new machine after years with old used junk that was handed down to me. Thanks, Peace to you, bud!

0:25 love the excitement at having a new record player!!!

Pretty humble and straight to the point. Thanks, man.

Thanks for the review Tavis, super helpful. As a non-native English speaker I also really appreciate how clearly you speak, so you're easy to follow!

Just set this bad boy up. It sounds unbelievable! Thank you for the clear instructions, made it super easy!

I just got this turntable a few days ago and this really helped me, I had it on the factory setting and didn't know I needed to make adjustments. Now my turntable works like a champ - thanks!

Thanks for the video, Tavis! You both inspired me to get my own LP120 and helped immensely with the setup once it arrived. Kicking back to some new records as I type this!

I just bought this turntable ... I know very little about anything to do with turntables ... this video is perfect for me. It really showed clearly how to put the turntable together. I will be watching this multiple times while I try my hand it. Thank you so much. Looking forward to listening to vinyl.

Just got this turntable delivered today. This video is so good. Soothing voice, and helpful setup!

Just bought this for my parents along with some records we had when I was a child. I need to set it up for them and I appreciate this video. It's so helpful!! Thank you!! 👏💐🌺

"it's vinyl talk....it's vinyl talk with tavvviis" got me smiling instantly. Thank you :)

I bought the AT-LP120XUSB with the same CR3 speakers (bundled deal from Amazon). The turntable is black and blends sharply with the speakers. Excellent turntable and speakers for the price point. Your video made set-up so easy. I watched your video and was listening to Sade in less than five minutes. Thank you!

Tavis makes a great video here, and a REAL important point he makes (and I overlooked this in my haste and excitement of unboxing this!) is to be aware that you have all the little the important items from the stylophone packaging/box - I made 3 separate trips to get the box back from the loft to get everything out that I’d missed! It’s so easy to overlook! Superb video Tavis, hope you’re well.

Haha the ending makes me happy I purchased this one for my wife for Christmas

I was going crazy trying to set the control arm and then it clicked float,set to zero,then 2 Victory!!!!!!!! Thank You Your a good teacher too 👍

Tavis, I just picked up my AT-LP120XUSB yesterday. Your video was very helpful in getting my rig setup. Thank you!

I just bought this turntable too, and when I first set up the speakers I had it on phono and it wasn’t playing very loud at all. Like you could barely hear it from just the other room, even with the volume all the way up. Then I remembered that you switched it from phono to Line in your video so I did the same, and the volume gets much louder and sounds much better now

Thanks for the video! You explained the balancing part perfectly. We were shaking before and here we are now, spinning the third record in a row.

I Loved your Review! I just picked up the last model at BestBuy! My old JVC needs to be trashed! I have over 700 vinyls and I want to reclaim my hobby! Thanks so much! This is the very first brand new turntable I bought and I am so happy I made the investment. It was such a Joy to do setup with you, like the bestest of friends. I will admit that black hand cutting with a huge slicer scared me a bit..(I'm a light skinned light hearted guy) lol! I'm happy you enjoy my sense of humor! Im gonna check out your vids. Thanks so much bro for the help! I'm very excited!

All set up 5 months ago still working perfectly from your advice and help. Thanks again 👍

Tavis, 🙏🙏🙏 for an amazing tutorial. I just picked up this turntable yesterday and am now confident in setting up! My vintage Dual turntable bit the dust long ago and my album collection hasn’t spun in about 40 years..until today. The box should include a link to this RU-vid video as standard operating procedure. 👏👏

Thanks for the post. I have (previous to viewing your video) ordered this turntable after much deliberation. Your video has given me the confidence I have made the right choice. Thanks so much

I was initially skeptical of this turntable. It looks like a less expensive Technics clone. The price is very reasonable & it had lots of great reviews. I got it & had it set up in 5 mins. Sound was beautiful. Thanks for the RU-vid video.

I been wanting to buy this thing for about 4 years now just never did get around to it and now I'll be getting it in two days. I will re watch your video as i assemble mine, this seems very helpful. Thanks man

Never owned a turntable, really enjoyed your presentation. Great voice too!

Thanks for the super helpful video! I haven’t had a turntable in 30+ years and never one this “technical”. Great setup and demo. Zero questions watching your video and setting mine up. Sounds perfect!

Thanks Tavis, great vid on the set up. Just set up mine and thrilled at the sound from LPs.

Just got one for my birthday yesterday. This video helped sooooo much. Thank you.

dude your voice i felt so relaxed watching this

Many thanks for this video. You have very nicely explained each and everything / aspect about the setting of AT LP120 USB Turntable. As compare to the other videos, this is an excellent video with very clear english accent.

Great review. I really enjoyed your detailed setup! Nicely done and very helpful.

I have read the reviews on this turntable and the are almost all great. I plan on picking this up on the weekend. Thanks for the great video!

I have the the audio technica Lp at60 And it’s awesome! It always plays songs at such good quality. I definitely recommend audio technica products!

Tavis you saved the day. I had static when I set it up. The part where you showed how to balance the arm fixed that problem for me. I owe you a beer my dude!!

Thank you for the video. Good Job! Now I know how to connect, set it up etc. All the best. Newbies are looking for this, hot to connect, where, what to switch, cables connection etc. keep showing the details.

Travis, thank you so much!!! I was a little worried about the light thing in the front. But it seemed obvious by looking at your end product and the manual. Thanks again much appreciated. I could not have done that with just the instruction manual.

Congratulations on all the new gear Tavis! It looks great and sounds good. You did a great job on balancing that tonearm. Now you can break it in all weekend! Rock on Tavis! ~ Randy

Thank you Tavis for your channel and reviews

Thanks Tavis for your step by step tutorial. It was well put together, easy to follow along, and I was able to get my player up and going in no time. Again great job my friend and keep up this great work.

Bought myself one due to this video. I am completely happy with my purchase. Definitely an upgrade from my old system.

Just got my new AT-LP120XUSB a few days ago. Euphoria is a good word for it. I haven't set up a new turntable since the 1980s.

Mine arrived today and your video was very helpful in setting it up! Thanks!

I bought this turntable yesterday. I'm following your instructions to install it

Great wee video, clear and to the point - my turntable is in the post, so I will return to this video to set it up. Thanks Tavis

i subbed as soon as i heard the intro, couldn't resist at all

Seriously,..that was a very nice little set-up tutorial. You spoke slowly and clearly and explained what to do very well indeed.

I never comment on videos - but yours was excellent! I will be using your video to set up the exact turntable in a few days. Thank you! You should do more videos!

This was excellent. Thank you dear family.

I like that about Mr Matsushita. I didn't realise he owned Audio Technica. that explains why the Technics crossover.

Just got mine today, your vid helped out so much! Thanks for this wonderful review, it convinced me straight out as soon as it ended.

Love the review and the albums in the background! I love Madonna and Whitney

I just LOVE this review ❤ Handle your turntable like this guy - that is the proper way!

I want to get one for myself this Christmas. It a upgrade

Thanks for this man! I bought mine last December, exactly the same model and just set it up today and having a little bit trouble until i saw your video.

We are not going to talk about the knife he used😂 I loved your video it explains a lot thank you.

I am amazed at the sound quality of this turntable and speakers. Listening to The Best of Mississippi John Hurt record live from Oberlin College 1966. Found it used in pristine condition at local shop. 💕

Wow I love your voice. I'm definitely going with this turntable

Great, solid review, without unnecessary talk. I just ordered the silver one too! Can't wait to hear it with my pro-ject phono box mm. 🙂

Thanks so much for helping me set mine up, and like you, I love it and it’s so much better than the other 2 I’ve had. I’m using Logitech Z333 Speakers and Subwoofer :-)

Phenomenal review .... just purchased this turntable a few weeks ago! Currently listening to Steve Perry & Journey! Magic! Big hello from Melbourne, Australia!

The intro is amazing

somehow even more excited to get spinning after watching this. phenomenal video. thanks man!!

Amazing demo! I'm shocked to hear you're learning alongside recording. Nicely put together and produced video I must say. Now to the subject: I'm watching videos such as these to help in my purchasing decision. I currently own an AT-LP60 which I've had for almost a year. I'm thinking about picking up the LP120XUSB as an upgrade. Several of my records, some brand new, just have a bit too much distortion--immediately recognizably worse than MP3/lossy formats! Many records, so I am skeptical to assume that all of them are simply bad pressings Given that this seems far superior with a removable/upgradable cartridge and needle, and your demo in this video, it may just have me sold for this TT. I might just be talking myself into my own decision now, so I digress lol. Again though, well done. Excellent set-up and review!

Great instructions. I've had this player for about 3 years and don't think I ever had it set up right the while time.

Good job dude, and hilarious (maybe unintentionally - THAT KNIFE! 😂😂😂) cheers!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for this video, you have no idea how much it helped me today, the paper setup instructions were not adequate for someone who hasn't used a turntable since the 80s! I listened to Purple Rain as my first play and it was just as amazing as I had hoped, can't wait to watch more of your videos.

Your theme song is fire my dude.

I wasn't sure what turntable I was going to get back into, after a 30yr hiatus. However after watching several other reviews, then especially after watching your review and setup instructions. I'm sold! Your thoroughness in explaining the proper setup are directions this old fart can follow. Thanks Tavis

We've found the follow-up to Isaac Hayes. "Cause of my feet on solid ground. I won't - won't turn around"

Just bought this one in gray. Just an great turntable... insightful review! Thank you!

I think i'm going to buy one of these.

all reviews should be this good! Thanks man. And loved that opening music!!

i got one of these bad boys for christmas, and i could not find any loss of treble

I was just checking out this turntable and you sir have inspired me to purchase one. Excellent review.

Great set up tutorial!! Is there any apealers you'd recommend that come with built in amplifier or how do I find the right set up for speakers

Brother thank you for this wonderfully informative video regarding the Audio Technica: AT-LP120XUSB! I've had this sitting on the shelf dormant for a long time and just got the itch to start using it and this video will help a lot to fine tune the phono arm which I knew nothing about (and have not read the instructions! ) Thank you!

Thanks for the weight part. Instructions didn’t explain that at all

Watched along as I unboxed mine - super helpful - thank you!
