The Korena take

Built around a manual, direct-drive format, the AT-LP120XUSB gives the player hands-on control over starts, speed, pitch, and tonearm setup. It covers 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records, with a quartz-controlled pitch slider and zero-lock button. The switchable preamp supports connection to stereo components with or without a phono input. USB output sends audio to a computer for digitizing a collection, while the detachable RCA cable and replaceable VM95-Series stylus options support maintenance over time.
