About the LPA2

The Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 is a premium, fully manual belt-drive turntable designed for audiophiles seeking pure analog sound with minimal distortion. It features a 30 mm thick high-density clear acrylic plinth and a 20 mm thick acrylic platter that provide exceptional vibration damping and resonance control, resulting in clear, uncolored sound. The turntable uses an optical sensor under the spindle to maintain precise 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds. The tonearm is an 8.8-inch straight carbon-fiber design with adjustable vertical tracking angle (VTA), azimuth adjustment, and a finely adjustable string-type anti-skate mechanism. It comes factory-fitted with the AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge, which has a nude elliptical stylus and high-purity PCOCC coils for outstanding channel separation and low distortion. The cartridge outputs a low 0.35 mV signal, requiring a dedicated MC-compatible phono preamp or step-up transformer. The motor control and power supply are housed in a separate external box to isolate electrical interference and ensure quiet operation. The turntable includes heavy-duty, height-adjustable feet for vibration isolation and a removable hinged acrylic dust cover. Dimensions are approximately 16.56" W x 5.38" H x 14.44" D, and it weighs 19 lbs. The AT-LPA2 is
