Review: Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK

Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK

Got my hands on the Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK turntable today.  It's a basic fully manual turntable with the standard functions any turntable would have.  I like the wood grain finish that gives it a more traditional vintage look.  This is to replace the TEAC TN-280BT that came DOA as I didn't feel good taking another try at it.  I got this for $249 which i believe is the MSRP.  It had free shipping and no tax so I saved a bit there.  The unit work perfectly out of the box.  Setting it up was easy.  If you've set up a turntable before, you should have no issues.  One thing I liked was the adjustable feet of the turntable.  The desk I placed the turntable on was a tad uneven so adjusting the feet to level it out was perfect.  Other than that, there isn't much to say about this bad boy.  It looks great in my living room.
