Upon finding out about our possible relocation from New York to overseas I soon realized thatI needed turntables that are switchable between 110-240v.

Buying the dual voltage 1200's at around $1200.00 was not an option and I did not want the stress of having to buy and sell and buy and sell Technics 1200's if we were to return to New York. 

Weary of all non-Technics turntables I stumbled upon Audiotechnica's AT-LP120 USB. It walks and talks like a Technics 1200, they're heavy, same s-arm, height adjust, track lights, sound great but also has features that the 1200 should have progressed to; direction switching, usb and analog choice, built in pre-amp(no ground wire), dual voltage, 33-45-78 rpm, 110v-240v etc... Having read review after review I sold my 1200's and purchased (2) Audiotechnica AT-LP120 USB and had change leftover.  Everyday I come into the studio I try to find something wrong with the AT-LP120's but can't.   The Audiotechnica AT-LP120 USB turntables feel like that were created by the same engineers at the original Technics factory back in the day but with the modern features that we utilize today.
I am heart broken and will miss my Technics 1200's but look forward to growing old with new turntable love the Audiotechnica AT-LP120 USB.
