Adding a mat is made super-easy because the J-shaped tonearm enables easy vertical adjustment-even ‘on-the-fly’ if you’d like, while the record is playing-so you’ll always be able to set the vertical tracking angle (VTA) exactly, irrespective of the thickness of the mat.
The platter is not fitted with a slip-mat-it’s intended that you place your LPs directly onto the platter surface… though you could easily add an after-market slip-mat (or non-slip mat) if you’d rather… which I’d personally rather, so I did. The single-piece platter of the AT-LP7 is 20mm thick and is made from a non-resonant polymer known as polyoxymethylene. However, if you’d prefer to use your own phono preamplifier, the internal preamplifier can be switched out of circuit. The stylus is easily removable, enabling easy, cost-effective stylus replacements when necessary (and easy upgrades, as you’ll discover later in this review).Ī moving-magnet/moving-coil phono preamplifier is built into the AT-LP7, obviating the need for an external one, so you can plug the AT-AT7’s output directly into the line input of any integrated amplifier. Naturally the headshell itself is in turn fitted with an Audio-Technica cartridge… in this instance one from the company’s 500-Series line, the VM520EB moving-magnet phono cartridge, which has a 0.3×0.7 bonded elliptical stylus and Audio-Technica’s ‘dual magnet’ geometry, where the two magnets are positioned in such a way as to mirror the angles of the groove walls.
It’s a two-speed (33 and 45rpm), belt-driven deck that comes fitted with a J-shaped tonearm fitted with a removable AT-HS10 headshell.
