The AT-LP7X fully manual belt-drive turntable blends analog excellence with style and versatility. Featuring a dense MDF plinth and acrylic platter to minimise unwanted resonance and vibration, this elegant, matte-black turntable delivers sound that’s just as clean and refined as its appearance.

In designing the LP7X, we paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking. The J-shaped aluminium tonearm, inspired by classic A-T models of the 1960s and ’70s, features a dual-axis gimbal with precision ball bearings to further enhance tracking performance.

The turntable comes with our AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For easy customisation, the stylus can be replaced or interchanged with other styli in the VM95 line, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.

Combined, the turntable’s AT-VM95 cartridge, VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment, and 16 g sub counter weight expand your configuration options. Upgrade to a more refined VM95 stylus or experiment with different cartridge/headshell combinations (up to 23.5 g total). Add the optional 32 g sub counter weight (available separately) and work with combinations up to 28.5 g.

Features

Fully manual, belt-drive operation with two speeds: 33-1/3 and 45 RPM
Heavy 40 mm MDF (medium density fiberboard) cabinet construction reduces resonance and vibration for clearer sound

J-shaped tonearm with adjustable VTA (vertical tracking angle)
AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge (0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus) pre-mounted to the lightweight AT-LT10 removable headshell
AT-VM95 cartridge is compatible with most VM95 Series replacement styli, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application
Included 16 g subcounterweight provides an expanded cartridge/headshell weight range of 14.0–23.5 g
A larger 32 g subcounterweight is available separately to enable the use of cartridge/headshell combinations up to 28.5 g
Adjustable anti-skate control to counter the inward force the styli experiences during playback
