For easy customization, the stylus can be replaced or interchanged with any of the five additional styli in the VM95 line, and the tonearm’s VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and subcounterweight enable the use of a broad range of other cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-LP8X plays 33-1\/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. Its 25 mm rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter comes with a 2.5 mm rubber mat and is driven by a sensor-monitored motor that ensures a continuously accurate platter rotation speed. The motor and its efficient internal switching power supply are housed within a box plinth constructed of 16 mm MDF (medium density fiberboard) and equipped with height-adjustable feet for excellent protection against unwanted noise and vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and removable hinged dust cover.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details_accordion-trigger\"\u003e\n\u003ch2
