Have you been enticed by the vinyl revival? Do you long for those days when you could hold your music and admire an album sleeve? Or perhaps you just have a hundred dusty LPs taking up space in the attic?

Whatever the reason, there's never been a better time to get back into vinyl. There's more music than ever, and turntable tech is only getting more advanced.

Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB

It rotates at 33 1/3, 45 and 78rpm and includes a pop-up light so you can see where the track begins, even in the dark – perfect for house parties and late-night mixing sessions.
