When What Hifi? first announced the arrival of the LP5X in Sep 2019, it called it an award-winning turntable improved!
The AT-LP5X direct-drive USB turntable is the direct successor to the AT-LP5, which won a What Hi-Fi? Award in 2016, the year it arrived, for its combination of entertaining, expressive performance and plug ‘n’ play convenience.
The LP5x possesses some of the magic from its predecessor: the J-shaped tonearm, aluminium platter, and a USB output for digitising a record collection, for example. Yet it’s far from just an LP5 with a new name and 2019 packing.
The LP5X uses the next generation cartridge, the AT-VM95E; supports 78rpm playback; sports an external power supply which reduces signal noise; and offers an MM/MC built-in phono stage.
