Not immune to microphonics and hum

Flimsy platter

Lack of shock damping

Verdict

The Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK turntable receives mixed reviews, with some users praising its ease of setup, quiet operation, and included cartridge, while others note issues with microphonics and hum. Some users recommend upgrading the phono cartridge and connectors for optimal sound quality. The turntable's manual operation and carbon fiber tonearm are appreciated by many, but some users note a flimsy platter and lack of shock damping. The included plastic dust cover has arrived broken for some users, and customer service has been unhelpful in resolving the issue. Overall, the AT-LPW30TK is considered a good entry-level turntable, but there are better options available for the same price or less.

Could definitely do better

Table looks great but is very microphonic. Also produces a hum. Tried in vain to remedy both issues but was unsuccessful. For about the same money (maybe a little more),you’re better off buying a vintage table and learning about turntable set up. The magic of vinyl can not be heard from this table. ...

Audio Technica at-lpw30tk \[$250\]. Pros: Lowest wow and flutter spec of the bunch (.15% @ 33.3rpm), fake wooden plinth looks nice, aluminum tonearm, ability to easily upgrade conical stylus if need be, rubber mat, higher pre-amp output spec than Fluance, adjustable feet, I have liked other products from this same company, sold by a local shop which I'd like to support.

My first turntable and I'm glad I went with this

This is my first turntable. I did a lot of research and went back on forth on different brands, different models. Fluance RT83 - RT85, Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo, T1 Phono SB or the Drop+Audio Technica VTA version of this AT-LPW40WN. The Fluance tables are too beefy looking for me. I get that they ar...

In summary:. * Audio Technica AT-LPW30TK.

Great turntable

Great turntable! Easy to set up, very quiet, built in phono pre-amp, nice tone arm. The included VM95E cartridge sounds great to my ears. Almost perfect! I have 2 very small point of contention. 1. It arrived with the speed selector knob loose. The knob is plastic with an aluminum shell glued on top...

My husband very sweetly got me a turntable for Christmas. It’s an Audio-Technica - AT-LPW30TK, and it’s a significant upgrade from our self-contained Crosley with built-in speakers and Bluetooth.

Attractive and practical

Purchased as a second unit for my a/v room. My main turntable does not play 45s without first removing the platter and repositioning the belt so I purchased this as a less expensive deck for another room in my house. The table is very attractive and easy to set-up and start using. The only tricky pa...

Best turntable/speaker combo for someone who likes to listen to death metal?

This may work for you. Audio Technica LPW30TK turntable ($250 + 10% off with code), Sabaj A4 amp($67) and a pair of Neumi BS5 speakers ($110).
