Audio Technica AT-LP5 Turntable Review
December 15, 2015 Comments Off on Audio Technica AT-LP5 Turntable Review
” The Audio Technica is a full size turntable that is built around a direct current motor that spins the platter via fixed connection. The advantages of this should be a level of pitch stability and accuracy that are challenges with belt drive. Equally, with the motor acting directly on the playing surface, any noise in this process risks being transmitted directly to the stylus of the cartridge. The reputation of direct drive as a home audio concept suffered from decks with cheap motors introducing audible rumble into the playback. As a direct deck, one immediate bonus of the design is that speed control is available via a switch rather than changing the position of a belt.”
