Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Turntable
In 2022, as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Audio-Technica dropped the shockingly clear AT-LP2022 turntable. A limited edition, it's making a return of sorts with the AT-LPA2. It retains the 30mm high-density acrylic chassis, 20mm acrylic platter, and manual belt-drive system of its predecessor, but replaces the clear-body Shibata stylus with a pre-mounted AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge, which still sits at the end of an exposed carbon fiber tonearm. It has a separate power and control unit to minimize electrical interference and ensure optimal performance, and is compatible with 33 and 45 rpm records.
