[14.88 lb] The AT-LPW50PB is my original pick before we notice LP5X, choosing direct drive or belt drive is always a debate. Glad that B&H is short of their stock on LP5X, it makes me a lot easier to go with LPW50PB, lol.


The straight carbon-fiber tonearm is amazing, at least feeds my aesthetics. The black piano finishing surface is nice and clean. The overall looking is undoubtedly firm and gorgeous.

Talk about the operation and sound. Even though it's a fully manual TT, the initial calibration and play are super easy. It always makes me feel good to make my music by hand. The sound is perfect to me (I accompany the TT with a Marshall Stanmore II).


The service of B&H is top-notch, the online order pick-up only takes a couple of minutes. Glad they have a free parking lot for customers!

[1x 2RCA Output] Love this turntable. It's the perfect sweet spot between quality and price.

[5.2] This is a very good all-around direct drive turntable. It is solid, quiet and comes with a decent headshell / cart. Sounds great out of the box - however-...
It is often recommended to get the AT microline stylus for finer listening. I have not tried that stylus so I cannot comment. For finer and better balanced listening, I got the VM95 EN (orange) and am very pleased with the results. I bought the whole headshell so that I can easily swap out the stock headshell and screw in the the 95 EN (nude version of the 95 E black stock cartridge).
For those of you who want an arm lift to convert this TT into a semi auto, this model accommodates the QUP tonearm lifter very well. I am quite satisfied. I run mine through my Yamaha AS801 integrated amp phono stage, and it sounds great! Awesome price! B&H - great delivery time!

[12 VDC at 1 A] It looks and feels like a toy. However, it's totally legit! It's not a gimmick. It connected to my bluetooth speaker immediately. The battery lasts a long time. I've played up to 15 full albums with no issues. I go out on my front porch every night with a few albums, sit in my rocking chair, smoke a cigar, drink a cider and listen to music. It's brilliant!

[14.88 lb] In about a week, this turntable really opens up. Nice detailed bass, and prefer a turntable without all of the dj furniture on it. Highly recommend for the price.

[12 VDC at 1 A] I disagree with a previous reviewer. The Sound Burger is awesome. As someone who puts a lot of effort into having quality gear for records to sound their best, I was surprised at how good the Sound Burger is. Running it through a vintage pioneer receiver it sounds so good for what it is. Not some Crosley junk.
Yes, it has no volume control which can be a pain in specific situations, but receivers and bluetooth speakers make it a non issue. It has a line out also. I bought it for when I'm buying records on the road, if you know what you're doing it sounds excellent. A+

[12 VDC at 1 A] This direct-drive turntable is amazing with full functions, full manual controls (it even comes with a pitch slider for DJ-ing, stroboscopic light, and stylus target light) and different connection options. The BT connection is the most helpful to me as I do not have to worry about amplifiers and wires. I can enjoy hifi music on this turntable straight out of the box wirelessly via BT speakers and headphones. It is extremely value for money with the high quality build and full functions!

[14.88 lb] This was exactly what I needed to get into playing records regularly. I can take it anywhere with me or have it left on my counter. Paired with a good small Bluetooth speaker, it’s allowing me to enjoy full album music again. I got mine 3 weeks ago and I already bought more than 20 records

[14.88 lb] This was an upgrade from a less expensive Audio Technica turntable that I've had for a few years. It's beautiful to look at and sounds great too. Very easy to set up and was shipped quickly from B&H.

[1x 2RCA Output] Back to vinyl after 40 years. I assembled it, turned it on and it worked. Two weeks later, it still works without problems. But, the assembly directions?!? Having not touched a record player since 1985, I needed friendlier printed directions to get the thing put together. Youtube videos did the trick.
