Review: Wow!! - This is a seriously good turntable. Looks and sounds amazing. After quite a bit of research I opted for audio technica and this model in particular because I love the glossy piano black look and classic minimalist design. More importantly the reviews across the board are 5 stars. It is fully manual and belt driven. No gimmicks at all. Very well packaged, quick and easy to set up. Look on YouTube for help to balance the tonearm etc. Up and running in no time. Replacement for a classic black Dual turntable which it really reminds me of. Arrived well within 24 hrs of ordering. Great price and the option for interest free payment by installments a bonus. Looking forward to revisiting lots of old albums. Just starting with Tangerine Dream. Superb!
Review: Nice - Took some time to decide which turntable to go for! This one came out on top as it had everything I needed, decent cartridge & stylus, phono preamp built in and carbon tonearm. Set up is simple and it looks great. The sound quality is excellent, and I can't fault it. If this is your price bracket £329.00 (as it was for me) then this is probably the best option by a long way. Highly recommended, but look online & Youtube for reviews if you are in doubt.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have a removable headshell?**
A: Thanks for your question. Yes the headshell is removable.

**Q: How do I adjust the height of the feet on this table? Audio Technica documents lists this as a feature, but the feet on my table are definitely fixed**
A: Whilst you may find the feet are quite tight at first, they can be unscrewed to enable the height to be adjusted.

**Q: What is small plastic disk with a hole in?**
A: The small plastic disc is a 45RPM adaptor for use where singles have been produced with the centre cut out - such as to be used in a Jukebox.

**Q: Is it ok to use a disc stabiliser on this deck. On Audio Technica’s website, they have one for sale, shown on this turntable**
A: Yes, you can use a disc stabiliser such as the Audio Technica AT618a with the AT-LPW50PB

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent for the price, but you can get more sound for your money elsewhere
*by R***R on 24 January 2026*

If this is your first look in to vinyl, or even if you want something that is decent and looks great, this is a great option. Build quality isn't bad and is decent in some areas. In terms of the sound: just to get this out of the way first, the in-built phono is not very good. Ideally, you would use an external phono stage to get a bit more out of this. The cartridge that this comes with isn't a problem on its own. What I mean by that is, I tried this very same cartridge that this comes with, on the Rega Planar 1 and the latter gives better performance overall. Especially in the bass. I swapped out the cartridge on this AT with a Goldring E3 and got better results, but it still couldn't match the slightly more expensive Rega Planar 1 (even with the Rega's provided 3600l cartridge). This leads me on to my point that, there is more to the sound than just the cartridge alone. The tonearm also does a lot of the grunt in terms of sound, so that is in fact more important than the cartridge itself. The RP1 proves that to be a fact and is a much better tonearm than on this one. The LPW50 has a decent tonearm but I would rate the sound overall 7/8-10, where as I would rate the sound on a stock RP1 as 9/10. You mileage may vary here and if you don't find yourself nit-picking sound, you could be very happy with this unit. Using my own phono stage I don't hear any static/hum when not playing, which I did a little bit on the RP1. So it is all pros and cons but for myself I might upgrade to the RP2.
