Product details
Compatibility & setup
The factory-fitted AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge does not have a user-replaceable stylus. Contact us about service or exchange options if it is worn or damaged. A replacement cartridge must suit the tonearm and moving-coil phono stage.
Confirm the cartridge actually fitted to your turntable. Follow the replacement stylus instructions and required tracking force; physical fit alone does not make every stylus suitable for every record or use.

Description
Precision-Built Audiophile Turntable for Pure Analog Playback
The AT-LPA2 is a full redesign of Audio-Technica's LP2022 anniversary turntable, now engineered without limits and available to more listeners. Featuring a precision-machined acrylic plinth, external motor control unit, and a carbon fiber tonearm, this is a high end turntable made for true analog enthusiasts.
Production is limited to small waves of a few hundred units. This is not a limited edition, but demand and build complexity keep supply tight. If you want one, act quickly.
Key Features
- Transparent acrylic plinth and 20mm platter for vibration damping and resonance control
- Outboard motor control unit for noise isolation and precision speed stability
- Static-balanced carbon fiber tonearm with tracking force adjustability up to 3.0g
- Includes Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN MC cartridge with nude elliptical stylus
- Two counterweights (light and heavy) for broad cartridge compatibility

Designed for Serious Vinyl Enthusiasts
The AT-LPA2 offers a pure analog experience. It has no USB port, no built-in phono stage, and no streaming features — because none are needed. What it offers instead is elite vinyl playback performance with simple, thoughtful execution.
The included AT-OC9XEN cartridge is a moving coil design with a nude elliptical stylus, delivering stunning clarity and spatial realism. The carbon fiber tonearm is ultra-responsive, mechanically stable, and completely manual. This is a true audiophile turntable made to be enjoyed and adjusted by hand.
