There are valid sonic reasons why many serious vinyl enthusiasts have traditionally favored manual turntables over fully automatic designs. Added mechanical complexity can introduce potential compromises if not executed properly, which is why build quality matters so much in this category. The Pro-Ject AUTOMAT A1.2 makes a strong case for the modern fully automatic turntable by delivering the convenience of push-button playback without resorting to outdated multi-play stacking systems that can risk record wear and only play one side at a time. For many listeners, the ability to start a record, enjoy the music, and let the turntable safely return the tonearm at the end of the side is a meaningful everyday benefit. When automatic operation is engineered with care, as it is here, the small theoretical tradeoffs are easily outweighed by the confidence, usability, and relaxed listening experience the A1.2 provides.
