The Audio-Technica AT-LPGO Fully Automatic Belt-Drive plays 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and handles the tonearm for you. Press start and it cues the record, then returns the arm when the side ends, so you can listen without hovering over the platter.
A die-cast aluminum platter and anti-resonance design help keep the record stable while it spins. The included dual RCA cable connects to wired audio systems and powered speakers, and Bluetooth with aptX support sends audio wirelessly to compatible speakers and devices.
At $149.00, this is the lowest price we have tracked for this turntable, and it comes in $26.33 under the typical price over the last 90 days. With thousands of ratings rounding to an average of 4.5 stars, we'd consider it a strong entry point for a first or second turntable.
Wired or wireless, you choose the path to your speakers
If your speakers or receiver have RCA inputs, the included cable carries the signal directly. That wired path avoids any Bluetooth pairing step and suits a traditional stereo or powered monitor setup.
If you'd rather not run cables across the room, the AT-LPGO pairs over Bluetooth with aptX, so compatible speakers and devices can receive the audio without wires. The Bluetooth profile is A2DP, which is the standard stereo audio path for speakers and headphones.
One check before you buy: confirm your wireless speaker or headphones support A2DP, since that's the profile this turntable uses. For wired setups, make sure your powered speakers have their own volume control or that your amp has a phono input, because the AT-LPGO sends line-level audio over RCA, not a phono-level signal.
Where this turntable fits and when to skip it
This deck suits a living room, den or office where you want records playing with minimal fuss. The automatic start and stop are a real convenience if you often play a side while doing something else, and the two speeds cover standard LPs and 45s.
The Gun-Metal/Black finish is a neutral look that won't fight your other gear, and the belt-drive design keeps the motor isolated from the platter. It's a sensible pick if you're building a simple system around powered speakers or a Bluetooth speaker.
We'd skip it if you want a manual turntable for DJ-style cueing or if you need a built-in phono preamp, because the wired output is line-level and none is listed. Check whether your amp or speakers already handle phono levels, then decide.
Wired output is line-level over RCA, so a phono stage isn't required, but your amp or speakers must accept a line signal.
Bluetooth uses A2DP with aptX, so your wireless speaker or headphones need that profile to pair.
Confirm the tracking force and cartridge are set as shipped, and plan for a level surface with clearance for the dust cover.
