"The flagship AT-LP7X features impressive build specs. The large body, increased mass (17 lbs) and high-density acrylic platter set a solid stage for smooth playback. In our opinion, the tonearm is the true highlight here with its 9.7" J-shaped tonearm which provides superior tracking. The easily adjustable height/VTA at the base of the tonearm is also a huge plus." - TTL

"In designing the LP7X, we paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking. The J-shaped aluminum tonearm, inspired by classic A-T models of the 1960s and ’70s, features a dual-axis gimbal with precision ball bearings to further enhance tracking performance." - Audio-Technica
