The AT-LPW40WN is a fully manual, belt-drive turntable that will give you high-fidelity audio quality. It has an MDF (medium-density fiberboard) plinth, which will limit low-frequency acoustical feedback. There is also a simulated walnut wood veneer, making it very aesthetically pleasing. The tonearm is made from carbon fiber and has an adjustable tracking force. An AT-VM95E cartridge is included, allowing you to replace the stylus with various options. A built-in switchable phono amplifier enables you to connect the turntable to multiple speakers or amplifiers.
