AT-LP60XUSBGM Fully Automatic Belt-Drive USB Turntable Gunmetal

At last, I’ve finally bought a turntable that actually meets all my needs. I’ve been looking for a record player so that I can start playing my old (and some new) vinyl albums. I’m not an expert when it comes to decent sound quality, but I know when I hear something I like - and when I don’t. I started off a few years ago with a 1960’s Dansette record player, which was fine for a while, but eventually got tired of the low background ‘hum’ that came from it. I then tried a Bush suitcase player. The sound was tinny and lacked any base whatsoever. Next was a Victrola. Even worse. In order to cut out background noise, the sound was muted until the stylus hit the start of a track. This could have worked except that it missed the first note(s) of the songs, and kept muting during quiet parts of the music. Next, I tried the Denver retro looking player. Nice and stylish, but noisy and again, tinny. My final purchase was this Audio Technical LP-60X. Perfect! Looks really stylish, and sounds fantastic through my soundbar and subwoofer. It cost only slightly more than the others that I had bought, but at £135, really is great value for money. 5th time lucky I guess.

Haven’t been able to play my large vinyl collection for years. Bought a cheap deck and sub woofer a while ago but the sound quality was awful. Ran this deck through my Hitachi cd system and speakers and was very impressed with the outcome. The deck is easy to assemble, just ensure you fit the drive belt into the groove on the post as explained and your away. The quality of the product is obvious compared to cheaper ones it feels solid and looks expensive but the best thing about it is the functionality. Everything you need to play 33rpm & 45 rpm records is there and clear to use. No dropping the stylus as you manually place it onto the record it’s all done for you. I haven’t used the record to usb function as I have an encoder on my system so I used that, the sound was crisp and clear even from well worn vinyl. If you want a great piece of kit this is it. If you pay less you’ll regret it as I did previously. I’m very happy now🤩i

Easy enough set up via a 2 minute video, ignore the whingers on here. The unit is a simple but solid build - full 12" metal platter - sadly lacking on most turntables on here, felt matt - also lacking on almost all budget turntables on here, rubber (not foam) feet to stop unit sliding - again from buying budget priced turntables on here they are usually foam which cause any unit to easily slide or move around. The operating mechanism is much more advanced and accident proof than any of the other budget turntables on here - you simply set the speed, size of disc and push a button and the arms kicks into action. I've had several cheap end Chinese type turntables from Amazon and not one of them auto returns the arm. This one does !! - full marks just for thus. You will need a speaker(s) I have it playing thru a small but loud enough bluetooth speaker and it sounds perfect. Despite what some of the Q & A say on here this is NOT wireless Bluetooth enabled, which would've really been a bonus. Havent tried recording Vinyl thru my laptop yet but will be doing so soon. After buying and returning many cheaper gimmicky looking players on here thru quickly established faults, avoid them, but THIS and get a superior machine without the issues of the similar priced Retro type models.

Unsure if my return to vinyl was a long term thing or just riding the wave of nostalgia, I needed a turntable that didn't break the bank but also of decent quality better than suitcase ones flooding the market. Not only did this fit the bill but it is turning out to exceed my expectations in what it produces Audio-Technica know how to build turntables and even though this one is on the budget end of their range, there is nothing budget about what sound it can get out of your vinyl. This comes with an OK built-in pre amp to get you going out the box but if you pair it with a decent external pre amp, even a Fosi Box X2 like I have, the sound quality really opens up to have a superb rich sound for the price. You really start feeling the unique sound of vinyl over digital formats Of course cuts are made for the price. It's a bit plasticky but not cheap. The cartridge is not upgradable (just the stylus), and no adjustable tonearm (preset for the fixed cartridge) but it's good to go and will serve you well until you feel the need to upgrade the deck. A turntable built for its purpose and built well. Purists will tell you spend at least double to start with but there's no need with this.

Got this to replace a Crosley suitcase player (avoid- terrible speakers) and this player is SO good for the price! Very easy to set up, cant hear the player when it’s switched on. Easy to connect with the included cable into my Soundbar.

So very pleased with this turntable. It arrived yesterday, the day after purchase. The set up instructions were so easy to follow. The sound quality is so very good, especially as the price was exceptionally reasonable. Would definitely recommend.
