Another AudioPhil Comparison! Technics SL-1200G vs Audio Technica LP5X Turntable.
Two different turntables to compare and contrast - The Audio Technica LP5x up against the Technics 1200G. I have repeated the track twice, the first time with the built in phono stage on the LP5X, the second time with the awesome Classic Audio Spartan 10.
There is no audio manipulation and I have not adjusted the speed - the LP5X has really good pitch stability - it runs a tiny fraction faster than the Technics which you can hear as the track goes on but it’s infinitely more stable than the Rega RP1 I used last time I did a comparison.
If you enjoy what I do, you are able to say thank you by buying me a coffee at the following link:
