FULL STORY
======================================================================

Fancy a turntable with Audio Technica components and a price tag that's much 
cheaper than you'd expect to pay for even a budget vinyl player? Then 
Majority may have just the thing for you. The UK firm's new Moto turntable 
offers an impressive specification for an impressively low price. 

One of the key selling points here is the inclusion of an Audio Technica 
cartridge, the AT3600L. AudioTechnica have a well deserved reputation for 
making good cartridges  my turntable's an Audio Technica affair and it's 
great and the AT3600L manages the trick of delivering a fun audio experience 
without costing a lot of money: it comes highly recommended by a lot of 
turntable blogs , and it's a favourite of budget turntable manufacturers. 

But the biggest eye catching feature about Moto is arguably its exceptionally 
low price of just 79.95, which costs about the same as a couple of popular 
vinyls from a well-known artist. That's considerably cheaper than our current 
pick of the best budget turntable you can buy, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT, 
which is also a Bluetooth turntable but which is nearly three times the price 
of the Moto. Majority Moto turntable: key features 

The Moto plays 33, 45 and unusually 78 rpms (revolutions per minute) too  
although I do wonder how many people in the target market for this turntable 
have a lot of 78s to play, and by "a lot" I mean "any" given that production 
of 78s largely stopped in around 1959. But it does mean that if you do 
somehow have a library of really old records you can digitise them easily: 
the Moto also has a USB output so you can record audio from analogue to 
digital. 

There's also Bluetooth 5.3 to stream to your Bluetooth speakers or wireless 
headphones . These will almost certainly sound better than the integrated 
stereo speakers, which sit at the front of the unit just before the platter. 
Majority hasn't published their full specification but don't expect much 
volume or bass: that would introduce the very vibrations that features such 
as the dampened platter and feet are designed to reduce. 

The Majority Mojo will be available from Amazon in the UK from March 1. At 
the time of writing, US and Australia availability and pricing is not yet 
known but we'll be sure to update this article when we do. You might also
