Is it manual. Semi automatic?

BEST ANSWER: It’s all manual. Only thing I didn’t realize and don’t like is that it will not auto pickup at the end of a record. You have to manually do that.

It is manual. In fact, the only shortcoming of this turntable, in my opinion, is that it doesn't have an auto-stop.

Good Value Turntable, however....
Directions are probably OK for Stereo Shop techs, but I found them a bit confusing and vague. The Cartridge was well protected but was not correctly attached to the tonearm. Why not do that in the factory? Initial sound was awful until I tried flipping a tiny switch on the back of the turntable. Great sound after that fix.
Now that I've used it many times, i've got one more critique. If you try to raise the dust cover with one hand, the turntable moves. The leveling legs at the front do not provide enough friction. There are no back legs, just what seems to be the motor cover on the bottom. Possibly adding a thin adhesive pad would help stabilize the unit.

I think the best combination of features at this price point compared to other brands. It would be even better if it had "auto-return ". Set up was pretty simple, I have not used it enough yet to comment on actual quality of playback

A good turntable
I like the turntable a lot however I had to try twice to get it to work. The first turntable had a slight buzzing, after trying new cables, a different cartridge and even a different location the buzzing persisted. I returned it to Monoprice and got a replacement that works as desired. For the price this is a good unit for my application.

Monolith Turntable
I master LP records for a living and bought this based on reviews, It is a gift for my 17 yo grand daughter who is very into vinyl. I have to say I am quite impressed. It looks great, sounds great and tracks well. I have recommended entry level tables in the past that cost twice as much as this one, and aren't nearly as good.
Best,

I guess we'll see?
Be aware, this turntable does NOT come with even the most basic of RCA cables. Cables are on order, so I may revise my review once I get to hear how it actually sounds. Also, this turntable has two feet at the front, but only one in the back. It will tip easily if you apply moderate pressure to either rear corners of the base.
I based my purchase on Steve Guttenberg's positive review. Hopefully his review wasn't just a native commercial .

I've had a few turntables over the years, so I'm familiar. Great looking turntable. I didn't expect it to sound like my old B&O, but I was totally unimpressed with the sound. Probably perfect for the listener looking for Bluetooth.

Beautiful Turntable, with Superb Fidelity from the Monolith Series!
I have wanted to add a turntable to my AV system for many years. Recently I moved to a new home with a dedicated media room, the timing on this new release from the Monolith Series was perfect!
This Monolith turntable provides excellent fidelity and playback, not your parents turntable from Sears.
It is beautifully constructed, the natural wood, and carbon fiber contrast for a stunning and warming addition to an otherwise cold media center. The AT-M95E is terrific!
The setup was easily followed with the included instructions. The phono/line out sounds great and provides a natural analog signal to my Onkyo receiver for processing.
The Bluetooth out was easily paired and I am very pleased with the internal ADC. The audio sounds great paired with my receiver, perhaps even better than the processing from my older receiver.
My fiance and I, have been 100% pleased with this purchase and have enjoyed great evenings, enjoy the nostalgia in our media room listening to vinyls!

Fantastic turntable ugrade
I just replaced my old turntable with this new Monolith offering and so far I'm really happy with it. I was a little surprised when the previous Monolith turntables just disappeared from Monoprice's site, but I'm glad I waited for this one, since it has a superior Audio Technica cartridge and other features like Bluetooth connectivity. I'm actually listening to an album on my Monoprice Sonic Solace Bluetooth headphones as I type this! Overall it sounds great and I'm really happy with my purchase.

Perfect choice of turntable/cartridge for moderate price.
I love this turntable. For this price it offers excellent quality and a very good cartridge It was easy to set up and it looks beautiful with the walnut base. This only downside for me is that it doesn't have a shut off at the end of the record.
For some time it has been on my wish list. I had to wait patiently until it was again offered for sale.
Highly recommended!
