After spending over 62 total hours comparing turntables and measuring their performance using $30,000+ worth of equipment, we’ve determined that the Audio Technica USB is the best turntable for most people. It is highly adjustable, has a built-in phono preamp for hassle-free setup, sounds great out of the box, and even has a built-in USB port if you want to digitize your LP collection. It’s also very speed accurate, according to our tests. Why do our tests matter so much? Because we found competitors in this range that exhibited audible speed shifts at least 2x worse than what their specs claim. The Audio Technica USB is the best because it sounds great, includes a phono preamp, is very flexible & speed accurate, and it lets you digitize your LP collection if you desire. The Audio Technica is a great entry-point for the vinyl enthusiast and shines even when matched against a table costing twice as much.

Its sound quality with the included cartridge and integrated preamp is remarkably good. With high-quality source material, it has the ability to present a quiet background with very good channel separation and vocal clarity. The more records I play on the Audio Technica, the more I find myself appreciating it."
