I set it up as-per the instructions (and a few Youtube videos), balanced the arm and set the tracking force and antiskate. Hi, I bought an AT-LP120 turntable which was delivered on Monday. Audio Technica AT-LP120 - intermittent sound on one side.

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.

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.

You get what you pay for, sure. 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. A very soft hum can be heard, yes.

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. An important feature to mention with the AT-LP120X is the direct-drive motor featured. The AT-LP120X is great for all user levels making sampling and mixing very easy, it is the ideal assistant to producers and music enthusiasts.

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. Page 9: TroubleshootingThanks for the inquiry and contacting Audio-Technica U.S., Inc (ATUS.)The AT-LP120-USB was designed as a DJ turntable. The stylus should be replaced with a genuine Replace the headshell assembly on the tone arm and secure with Audio-Technica ATP-n2 stylus. The AT-LP120-USB comes supplied with a high-quality Audio-Technica ATP-2 cartridge. They're basically telling me if I want a table with working anti skate to purchase the $500 model.The stylus assembly should click into place.

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.
