Rated 5 out of 5�by Dadefone awesome turntable
july will be 2 years that iv'e purchased 2 of the lp1240's.love the sexy looks,rounded edges makes it's very distinguishable from other turntables on the market. love the black hi gloss finish.no skipping when in hard usage in a DJ setting.pitch control is very accurate and holds that speed for as long as needed.took a while to get use of the digital pitch which requires a full revolution to adjust,but i'm use to that now and isn't a problem when mixing long mixes..sound is great with my traktor z2 mixer..solid heavy deck,and has wrist breaking torque.never use + 20 or +50 because in the standard +10 range is more than enough for what i do..so glad there isn't a center click for the pitch slide.all buttons feel great with a click letting you know that button has been pressed.i am a former technics owner and this deck is by far a better deck to me.with audio technica's long history and this being there only real DJ turntable they hit all the marks,and this being the companies 50th anniversary model job well done.thanks for giving me a real choice and a technics sl 1200 killer.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Verdinut Outstanding Product
I purchased that turntable to replace an older non high-end turntable. I use it to play the one hundred or so LPs which I kept following the advent of the CD. I am not disappointed at all with it. It has a powerful motor and a more than decent tone arm. It also features a stroboscope and a good internal stereo phono pre-amp which can be bypassed with the flick of a switch. Moreover, it has an USB output for use with a computer. Overall, it performs pretty well. The only thing that I may complain about is the light slip mat which might very well suit a DJ. However, since I am not a DJ, I would have preferred a thicker non slipping mat. Before ending this review, I also strongly suggest, since the headshell contacts are tiny, that you use a good contact enhancer and preservative such as the Caig ProGold, so you won't have any hum problem. Should you be looking for a decently priced turntable, either as a DJ or an audiophile, don't hesitate about this product. With a good cartridge, you will have hours of happy listening.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Megatrends Excellent for home audiophile use
I am not a professional DJ, I just use this turntable for home audiophile listening. While not technically designed for that it does do very well in this regard sound quality wise. The dampened platter doesn't make noise. I did buy an expensive cartridge for it as it does not come with one. The speed accuracy is excellent and while this was designed for professional DJ use I found the ability to adjust braking speed and to play records in reverse rather nice things to have to customize the feel of it. The reverse feature is good because who doesn't own a record with backwards masking on it or just backwards messages? The radio station I am at has 2 technics SL-1200 MK II turntables and this turntable in my opinion is just as good. I was struck by the part quality for one thing. The tone arm lever is metal and has a screw on metal ball end. They could have easily cheaped out on plastic but did not. The pitch adjust slider knob is smooth however the button is made out of plastic and that is puzzling considering the other attention to making sure the parts are metal. Also when you first turn on this turntable the pitch speed is not quartz locked. You must manually push the button every time you turn the power on however when the slider is in the middle there is no need for the quartz button anyway. The slider button does not have a center click which Audio Technica should replace this slider button with the type you have on the Technics SL-1200 MK II in my opinion! The unit shell is made out of metal also which very much surprised me. In fact I cannot think of an electronics product made since the early 80s where the unit shell wasn't plastic. Easy to clean and won't be a problem keeping looking new especially if one is a smoker. I am glad I got this model instead of the AT-LP240 because of the extra controls like brake speed and start speed and reverse etc. There are very practical uses for speed controls for someone who is NOT a DJ. I am a musician and the ability to slow down songs to learn them is pretty valuable. You can even adjust the speed to what you are tuned to so you do not have to retune your guitar for every different album you throw on, just adjust the pitch of the song using the pitch and speed slider control. Anyway all in all a fantastic turntable with fantastic speed accuracy. I like to listen to classic and do not hear any speed warble or pitch problems. It is accurate enough to detect a record that is off-center rather than the turntable making pitch speed problems. The motor is very strong and you can tell this immediately when you use your old vintage Discwasher on it, the turntable does not like to slow down easily when pressure is applied to it. Overall also the turntable feels like a quality very well made product that just feels like it will still be running in 10 years.
