Audio-Technica PL120 turntable is pretty loaded with desirable features, not the least of which is a 78rpm speed that is pretty rare these days (its usefullness is dependent on your record collection).

More importantly, it has a phono-stage built in. So you would save a bit of cash up front on that, making the A-T an even better value. Plug-&-play.

Probably its biggest shortcoming is that its build-quality is not up to the classic Technics SL1200 workhorse after which it was clearly modeled. But for the money, you can't really fault it, imo.
