Audio Technica AT LP8X - Direct Drive Semi-Automatic Turntable - BONUS SHIBATA UPGRADE STYLUS (worth $329)
Audio-Technica expands its line of direct-drive turntables with the semi-automatic AT-LP8X, featuring a newly designed tonearm lift that automatically raises the tonearm at the end of a record side and stops the motor - awesome convenience without sacrificing sound quality!
The turntable’s robust MDF box plinth, adjustable feet, thick rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminium platter, and 2.5 mm rubber mat work together to temper unwanted noise and vibration so you can enjoy all the detail of your music with the accuracy of a direct drive motor system as used by broadcast radio stations, DJ's and recording studios around the world since the 1980's.
ATLP8X Turntable Cartridge
The turntable’s AT-VM95E cartridge is compatible with any Audio-Technica VM95 Series replacement stylus, making it easy to experiment with different styli profiles such as Nude elliptical, Micro Linear or Shibata. This upgrade to a higher-quality stylus will bring more detail and more lifelike reproduction of your records to enjoy more refined sound... you can even switch to an AT-VMN95SP stylus to play 78 RPM records!
