Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT

So there you have an in-depth rundown on an entry-level turntable that, for $120, is definitely worth your consideration if you're newer to the hobby....

So it doesn't scrape against the dust cover at all and all that stuff. So you can play records with the dust cover down just fine and you're all good....

This gives it quite the lifespan if you really only want to purchase one turntable. Last thing I wanted to mention is Bluetooth. The Bluetooth quality...

You have to get the USB variant for that. But again, all in all, killer, killer turntable. Alright guys, thank you so much for watching

So there you have it. That is my take on the Audio-Technica LP-60 XBT turntable.

A clear step up from the Shure and Ortofon cartridges, with the top end clarity AT is known for. More "exciting" a presentation than the Grado, but also found some surface noise the others didn't.

I recently consolidated a lot of stereo equipment into this great little team.

Pass the basic $149 AT-LP60X if you have the budget for a better turntable and definitely pass on spending $70 more to get the $219 AT-LP60XBT version with Bluetooth. AT-LPW40WN at $379 is too pricey since the better [Drop + Audio-Technica Carbon version is only $20 more that adds VTA adjustment and replaces some plastic parts with metal.

Been using an AT-LP60XBT-WH, pretty happy with it but i'm slowly saving up for my next turntable!. My price range is at 370 USD, and I do NEED a built in pre amp since i am extremely space limited. So i'll be happy to take any suggestions. The AT-LP120XUSB and Pro-Ject Primary E are available locally for me, and those are the ones i see as value buys for my price range.

The AT-LPGOBT is a slightly lower cost Walmart version of the AT-LP60XBT and are easy setup beginner plug and play automatic turntables. The Crosley C6 next to it is a manual turntable that adds adjustable tracking force and a removable cartridge. More [turntables as well as starting at $129 and $79.
