The Audio Technica AT-LP5X is a direct-drive turntable – a type popular with DJs, as it means the record starts spinning instantly, unlike with belt-drive models. This manual record player also supports USB to digitise your vinyl collection, and has an external power supply to avoid it influencing the turntable’s sound. So does this record player stand out from the crowd? Our rigorous lab tests and professional listening panel found out.
