"The flagship AT-LP7X features impressive build specs. The large body, increased mass (17 lbs) and high-density acrylic platter set a solid stage for smooth playback. In our opinion, the tonearm is the true highlight here with its 9.7" J-shaped tonearm which provides superior tracking. The easily adjustable height/VTA at the base of the tonearm is also a huge plus." - TTL
