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.

- 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

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.
