Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black, Hi-Fidelity, Plays 33 -1/3 and 45 RPM Vinyl Records, Dust Cover, Anti-Resonance, Die-Cast Aluminum Platter

We replaced a very old Audio Technica turntable with this new one. Although the older one had more features such as synchronization lights, pitch control and reverse; this one is fully automatic, while the older (much heavier!) unit wasn't. I much prefer the automatic feature over all of that other stuff that I really never used. This unit is good looking, compact, light and very easy to install. It easily fits into any entertainment center, with room to spare. A provided stereo 1/8 inch plug cable plugs into the unit. The cable splits into two (stereo) RCA plugs for output interface to your amplifier. The best part about this unit, it has a built-in pre-amp. So, whether or not your stereo amplifier is pre-amped for a turntable, this can handle it, either way. Installing the turntable belt was required, but very easy. Just make sure to use the red ribbon at the large square cutout in the turntable. Power is supplied via DC adapter with a 6-ft long cable. Remove the needle cover by pulling it straight back towards you, in line and away from the tone arm. The automatic feature works great. It only has two speeds, 45 RPM and 33-1/3 RPM. The controls are very simple and easy to use. It even turns itself off after the end of a record. It only weighs about 5 or 6 pounds. Includes a 45 RPM record adapter. No Bluetooth. Runs virtually silent, with no noise from the motors. With the great experience we've had from this brand, we're expecting it to last for several years.

The AT 70X will soon be having a recall. Huge skipping and redundant play that has been reported and they keep selling it. Go with this tried and tested 60X.... listening to it right now. It's really nice 👍

LOVE IT!!!! I've had 3 record players so far, first a non-brabded cheap one I got as a gift that has now stopped working then a Victrola which was crap out of the box on the first day and use. Asked around and found this beauty, while I did have to buy speakers for it, I'd say it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE MONEY!!!! My records sound perfect! They dint sound warped or slowed AND it's got an auto start arm which is something I wanted and didn't even realize it had until I played a record!!!!! Get some good speakers as well as this beautiful turntable and you'll be set to listen to your favorite vinyls!

This is one of the best starter turntables on the market. Clear and crisp sound, no crackling or anything in any vinyls that I’ve played on it. Highly recommend!!

I bought my first record player in 1994, when CDs were king and you'd still hear, "I didn't know they still made records!" The point being that I have 30+ years of experience with record players.This is my latest turntable. I have my dj setup, but a record player like this is best used with a home stereo setup. I destroyed my last player on accident, which was the previous version of this exact same turntable.My main complaint with this newest edition, as compared to my older one, is that there isn't a clip to hold the arm in place. Not a big deal, if you don't move it around. But can be a problem if you're constantly messing around with your home stereo setup, like I am.I also don't care for the buttons. They perform the same functions, but the old ones felt more substantial and satisfyingly chunky to push. These feel lighter, and thus cheaper.Besides these two issues, I like the record player. It's loud and doesn't need a preamp, which is good. The stylus will be easily replaced when necessary. It was super easy to set up and get going, whereas my turntables in my dj setup can be quite finicky.4 stars out of five. It isn't perfect, but it's probably better than cheaper turntables.

I had previously been using a Crosley, and well those are perfectly fine, I wanted an upgrade. I have been pleased with this particular model. Works well, good quality. I would recommend it to anybody that wants something affordable enough and a better quality.

Oh my goodness, I had read that this was THE entry level turntable to get if you were done with shoddy suitcase players that may or may not damage your records... and whoever said that is right. I am 20 minutes into my first listen and WOW. The sound quality is amazing. Construction and mechanics are solid and easy to set up and use. Don't waste $60 to $80 on a mediocre suitcase player - this is maybe twice the cost, but worth every penny if you care about how your music sounds. Highly recommended.

Pros:- It's Audio-Technica- Spartan design- Covers your most common record speeds- Plug-and-play- No pre-amp required (it comes with one built-in)- Doesn't skip/wobble after two weeks of useCons:- Cheap materials (cover is acrylic, buttons are plastic)- Pricing is kinda meh- Touchy (though that is kind of a given to any turntable/record player)- Cover does not fully cover the entire turntable; there's a very small vertical gap which is just enough for dust to come crawling in- Instruction manual tends to be rather vague- Turntable belt is a bit finicky with initial setup- No setting for 78RPM records, which requires a lot more money invested in their top tier record playersThis review was made about a month of use; length of ownership is similar.
