You may look into the AT-LP5 which is more designed for audiophiles and has a stronger anit-skate. Therefore, the AT-LP120-USB does not have the same anti-skate adjustments that you would find on a high end (and high cost) audiophile turntable. According to one manufacturer of high end phono cartridges and tone arms, a somewhat weak anti-skate mechanism might be just right for low-compliance, DJ-oriented cartridges and one of our other competitors even recommends setting anti-skate to zero for DJ use. The AT-LP120 was designed with the DJ in mind and has features to meet that need such as being able to reverse the direction of the turntable and robustness for record scratching. Due to its excellent sound, quality and low cost, audiophiles started using and recommending it as an audiophile turntable. The AT-LP120-USB was designed as a DJ turntable. Thanks for the inquiry and contacting Audio-Technica U.S., Inc (ATUS.) They're basically telling me if I want a table with working anti skate to purchase the $500 model. ![]() Efficiency was under 65 at 1-ohm and the amp shut down in under four minutes. I sent the 1200-watt amp to a lab to have it tested. When the same model in glossy black came out, I sold the silver one and purchased the black one (thinking the anti skate would work on it). Read 2 more reviews about Skar Audio SC Suspicious Consumer 1 review CA Verified You Get What You Pay For I was suspicious about the quality of Skar products given their price point. I purchased the silver ATLP120 years ago, and the anti skate did nothing at all. Sorry to resurrect but I recently contacted AT with this issue. And this groove noise hardly ever is a problem, or the record must be very poorly pressed or the quality of the used vinyl is poor. It is obvious this guy has no idea the hum will be totally harmless as groove noise with ANY record certainly will be a lot louder during normal play. It is demonstrated elsewhere on the internet, some idiot cranks up the volume all the way while the turntable plays no record. But what jerk would do that? Another flaw frequently mentioned is the hum that is audible at loud volumes. So tapping on the deck while playing a record results in loud bangs. One of the minor flaws is the hollow, plastic plinth. Because at normal use these flaws won't be audible or cause problems of any kind. Yes, it is THAT good.so good in fact that you forgive it the minor flaws it has. ![]() And as one grows into the format, maybe at some point one wants more but I wouldn't be surprised if many people stay perfectly satisfied with this product. In my opinion, this combo is the perfect way to get involved with records. Adjust it as good as possible, goes for every turntable. It is affordable, has built-in USB facilities, in short, you can't go wrong at all. Just make sure the components are well matched, such is the case here. To enjoy records you don't have to spend a fortune on gear. Of course, it is no use to compare this turntable with a Goldmund or whatever other exotic turntable. This combination is so good, most visitors listening to this combination are astonished all this quality comes at such a low price. That is, the turntable equipped with the AT120E cartridge. ![]() But there is always a but.Lets take my combo as an example.
