The plinth includes a 45rpm adapter holder as well as one for a second head shell. The gimbaled “S” shaped arm incorporates a knurled VTA/SRA adjustment platform similar to the one found on the SL1200’s arm. With this turntable you can play it backwards and clearly hear it. For instance on David Bowie’s terribly underrated The Lodger he sings “All the Young Dudes” backwards on the song “Move On”. You can even spin the platter backwards to decode secret messages found on some ‘60s and ‘70’s era drug-soaked albums. A built-in strobe light and pattern incorporated in the platter casting makes easy setting and monitoring speed. You can disable the Quartz speed lock and via a slide switch adjust the speed ☑0% or ☒0%. They did that too (they had rational reasons in both instances, though plasma still far surpasses the picture quality of LCD IMO).Ī-T’s LP120 is a Quartz PLL (phase locked loop) direct drive design capable of spinning its relatively light-weight cast aluminum platter at 33 1/3, 45 and 78rpm. What next? They’ll stop making plasma TVs? Oh. Citing dwindling sales and parts procurement issues, Panasonic/Matsushita absurdly discontinued the 1200 in 2010.
This feature-packed turntable bears more than a passing resemblance to the Technics SL-1200, the final iteration of which was the MK6.
Off the audiophile pedestal and into the “real world” we go, with a review of Audio Technica’s easy to set up $299.95 ("street" price $250) AT-LP120-USB turntable.
