Usually, just tonearm lift is needed. **Q: Do any have Bluetooth?** A: No bluetooth. You'll need to hook it up to a receiver and amplify the signal to you speakers. **Q: Can someone tell me the actual dimensions of the product? Because I'm getting many conflicting reports.** A: The dimensions noted in the specs are spot on, although I didn't measure it in millimeters. I got 17.75" W x 13.75" D x 6.25" H (with dust cover down). The height of the plinth is 3.5", and it is 2.25" thick. All measurements are approximate. specs state 17.72"W x 13.86"D x 6.1"H. It weights 23.1 lbs. by the way. Hope this clears things up for you. **Q: Is hooking up the ground wire necessary if it already has a grounded plug? My amp doesn't have a grounding terminal.** A: I did not use the ground and the turntable works fine. I did plug both amp and turntable into the same outlet.

My old Denon DP33F - Quartz stabilized direct drive - well the WOW went away after the crystals warmed up over 10 mins and it got up to a steady speed. But no amount of careful lubing of the motor could eliminate noise. Good for it's time - now it is just a bit too noisy. Time for something new. But I'm not dropping $2,000+ :-)After reading a LOT of reviews. Cutting through the mumbo jumbo and finding some good comparative reviews - I set myself a budget of $500 and this is what I bought. Setup for an old school audio type was straightforward. My ears are aged 55 and are still pretty good. 15kHz is detectable.So the pluses:Silent - both motor noise (none) and electrically when properly grounded - (none)Nice mid compliance rubber matNice feet that decouple from the roomClean simple design.Rock solid speed on a strobe.Protractor supplied for cartridge setup (that paper "Quick Start" disk - it is printed on there.).Minus - well not really a minus - but the supplied cartridge is only OK. Would rather have had nothing supplied and a price adjustment. But I can see people want plug and play. As supplied - bit muddy on the bass for my liking. Again - I'm not going to spend a fortune on a cartridge but in went a good middle of the road Shure m97xe. At 1.4 grams it stayed in the groove. That cleaned up the bass and got the detail back.Headphone listening - with a home built RIAA tube amp and Pentode Small 20w RMS per channel Class A power amp. Genres - all over the place - Pink Floyd, Clapton, Popular Classics, Folk.Haven't tried the USB to computer.Good all round performer for the money. Keeper ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars First Encounter with the LP5...SOLID TT *by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2019* I will update my review on the sound quality when I get my replacement unit.Disclaimer: This review is based only on the actual unit that I received. I have to return it, probably just a glitch in the manufacturing of this particular unit. There is absolutely no bass signal coming out. I tried 2 different pre-amps, I tried connecting directly to phono jack on my amp, I switched to built-in pre-amp, tried a different headshell and cartridge just to rule-out faulty cartridge, same result. Mids and Highs are PERFECT.I have been using Audio Technica equipment for years now, from headphones, mics, turntables and cartridges, that’s why when I decided to replace my ever reliable AT LP120USB, I went for the LP5 based on my experiences with AT. I’m a bit bias but hey, they make great audio equipment.Built: Solidly built, finish is beautiful, hardware superb.Set-up: Beginner-friendly, with youTube video assist if needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice turntable *by M***@ on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017* I just upgraded to this from the Pioneer PL-30-K and it is a huge improvement. The build quality appears very good. The feet are substantial and the body as a whole has some nice weight to it. Meanwhile, the tonearm and its mechanisms feel precise and fluid. I do miss the automatic features of the Pioneer, but it is very hard to find a quality turntable with those features these days. I checked the rotation speed and it was extremely consistent (a huge improvement over the Pioneer), and it spins up to speed almost instantly.The sound quality is very good. I started with the stock needle\cartridge using the built in pre-amp and was quite pleased. The tone was a tad bright, but sounded very accurate otherwise. After a bit I upgraded the cartridge to an Ortofon blue and I think it sounds outstanding now. It's not too bright anymore, bass sounds very good and the overall sound stage feels wide and fills the room. Eventually I'll switch to an external pre-amp, but I feel that the internal amp sounds very good and should be adequate for most people that don't have an external or one in their receiver.One negative I found is that the actual power button is on the back of the unit. I like that they have the dial on the top to start the platter spinning at the desired speed, but the off setting just turns off the motor, the rest of the unit is still "live" (and there is a blue light above the dial that stays on unless the button in the back is pressed). Aside from not having the convenience of an auto-return at the end, that's really the only thing I've found that bothers me about this unit (and that is a very minor issue).Overall I think this is a great turntable and the price seems appropriate for what you get. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/35597171-at-lp5](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/35597171-at-lp5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
