Update 3/4/20 Entry level that punches above.
My primary turntable was in for repairs so I needed something to listen to vinyl. Read many reviews on a wide variety of turntables. Finally settled on the AT140LP as it seemed to fill in all the boxes.My primary table/arm/cartridge costs about 7X of what the 140LP does. Got the table after a short delay,set it up and listened to first lp. It sucked. Wife comes in and says dinner is ready. After some stir fry and cabernet, I go back to listening room trying to understand why it sounds so bad. Boom, brain says when was last time you used the pre-amp phono section? About 8-9 years ago,so I started to wonder if I changed the switching back to MM position. No I did not, and after getting it back to where it needed to be,decent notes started rolling off the tt. I then got to thinking how can I improve the sound quality. Here is what I did.installed new Audio-Technica AT-440mla cartridge.installed "Disk Mat" from 1980's that is extremely heavy and dense rubberized material.(great for DD tables).installed "Straightwire " Flexconnect ll interconnects with separate ground wire.installed new Volex power cord with additional ferrite beads.leveled the turntable and stand mounting top.placed some sorbothane dots on the tonearm,near the headshell junction and near the back bearing cradle.used my DB Systems protractor to align cartridge. Set tracking force to high end of AT's spec.played around with arm height to get sound that worked for me.After all this,the table sounds terrific. Quiet,detailed,and with the 440mla cartridge I'm starting to hear the mid-range that my low output moving coil cartridge and outboard phono pre-amp seem to think we can do without. Ignore reviews by DJ's on Youtube, they primarily think of the 140lp as a dj device. The manufacturer,Hanpin, has learned alot about turntable manufacturing to specs. Whether it is AT,Pioneer,Stanton, or others selling Technics clones,they are only as good as the components and quality control that is required by the name brand.By the way, the packaging and condition of the table as delivered was excellent. Be sure to put this one on your list if you are in the market for a turntable. Happy listening.3/4/20 UpdateStill very happy with turntable,however I just learned that the feet/footers do no isolate very well. I have a very heavy rack with sand filled corner tubes and by accident happened to touch one tube while record was playing at medium-high volume and noticed feedback. I am ordering some isolators to put under the turntable feet and see how that goes. For the money hard to beat this table.Ver másVer menos
