Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB (2019)
The AT-LP120XUSB is a direct-drive 3-speed turntable with a switchable built-in phono preamp and a USB output for digitising vinyl. On the back you’ll find a detachable stereo RCA output cable plus a ground post for the phono earth wire — the PHONO/LINE switch decides whether those RCAs carry raw phono or RIAA-corrected line-level. The…

Audio-Technica AT-LP60X (2019)
The AT-LP60X is a fully-automatic belt-drive turntable aimed at first-time vinyl buyers — drop the needle, lift the needle, and change speeds are handled by the deck itself. Its single output is unusual: a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack on the turntable that mates with the supplied 3.5mm-to-dual-RCA cable, switchable between phono (2.5 mV) and line level…

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO (2020)
The Debut Carbon EVO is an entry-audiophile turntable built around an 8.6-inch carbon-fibre tonearm and a factory-fitted Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge.

Rega Planar 3 (2016)
Rega’s fifth-generation Planar 3 is the company’s biggest redesign of the iconic ‘Three’ since the platform began, with a new RB330 tonearm and a 24V AC synchronous motor.

Technics SL-1200MK7 (2019)
The SL-1200MK7 is Technics’ modern reissue of the iconic SL-1200 DJ turntable, built around a coreless direct-drive motor and a static-balance S-shaped tonearm with detachable headshell. Unlike the audiophile SL-1500C the MK7 is a pure DJ deck — the rear panel exposes a single PHONO-level RCA output via a detachable cable, a dedicated earth screw…

Technics SL-1500C (2019)
Technics’ SL-1500C is a coreless direct-drive turntable with a built-in MM phono preamp that can be bypassed via a rear switch — effectively two separate RCA outputs in one turntable. The deck ships with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-mounted, a detachable phono-style cable, and a dedicated earth wire for the grounding post. Mains power…
