The Tuk In Turntable Pack

The AT-LPW40WN is a fully manual, belt-drive turntable designed to give you optimal high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl. It has a nice-looking anti-resonance MDF (medium-density fibreboard) plinth with simulated walnut wood veneer to reduce low-frequency acoustical feedback and a sensor-monitored motor to keep the platter rotating accurately at 33⅓ and 45 RPM. 

The turntable includes a straight carbon-fibre tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS4 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application. 

The AT-LPW40WN has a built-in phono preamp that you can choose to use, and it comes with a detachable dual RCA output cable so you can connect it directly to components that do or do not have a dedicated phono input.

Using its expertise and building on its rich heritage, Audio Technica is introducing a new wood-based, belt-drive turntable, the AT-LPW40TN, both with Audio-Technica's natural, balanced and refined sonic signature and, according to Audio Technica, delivering high-fidelity audio performance far beyond its price level.

Alongside an aesthetically pleasing, interior-friendly design and profile, the turntables’ wood-based chassis have been chosen for their natural acoustic and anti-resonance properties. The Audio-Technica uses high-density wood, which minimises feedback generated by low-frequency energies. Unwanted vibrations are further reduced by a professional-level, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminium platter with a rubber mat. 

The turntable has a straight carbon-fibre tonearm that provides superior rigidity for greater control when playing. It is fitted with an AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge from Audio Technica's recently introduced VM95 cartridge series. The VM-95 body is an example of Audio-Technica’s dual-magnet design, and in the 95E it is partnered with a bonded elliptical stylus that is mounted on an aluminium pipe-style cantilever. The body has been designed to reduce resonance and feels a whole lot more substantial than the original AT-95E. 

The AT-VM95E is a significant step forward. It brings an extra helping of refinement and civility that doesn’t affect its ability to get stuck in and enjoy itself. Vocals are the main focus, and the level of tonal realism is entirely convincing. Audio-Technica says the AT-VM95E has better output level, dynamic range, and frequency response than the AT95E, with its aluminium cantilever, elliptical stylus, and new coil design giving an increased output of 4 mV.
