Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable
A real direct-drive deck, and it digitises the records he already owns.
Our rating
4.5 out of 5
Someone who has everything usually has a stack of records and a turntable that is either a toy or absent. The LP120X is the real thing: direct drive, adjustable counterweight and anti-skate, a proper tonearm, and a USB output so a lifetime of vinyl can be ripped without buying a second device. Nine thousand ratings at 4.7. It needs speakers or a powered pair, which is the hidden cost people miss. Skip it if he wants plug-and-play convenience — the Bluetooth all-in-ones elsewhere on this site do that, and sound like it.
