There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have 3 other turntables, against which to compare it:
1) Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB. (from here on, I will refer to this as the '120' and the AT-LP60 as the '60) This is a great turntable. It looks better, feels better, but I can't say that I can tell the difference in sound it produces. Some of the things we pay extra for on that model are:
a) Quartz timing control. This is something of value.
b) 78 RPM speed, if you want the option of being able to play back the pre-1950 records. This is something of value.
c) Manual pitch adjustment. I'm told some bad recordings had the speed off, so this is a way to manually correct it. I've got a couple hundred records, and have not yet found one that had the speed obviously off, so I can't see any value in this.
d) Reverse direction. I can't see any value in this either. Some records have hidden messages if you play them backwards. Seems like something that might give a little thrill to hear it once or twice, but to pay extra for this ability? Nah, just go listen to those albums on YouTube to get your thrill.
e) Electronic controls. These will probably hold up better many years down the road than the mechanical controls of the 60. No moving parts = fewer failure points.
f) Counterbalanced tonearm. In theory, this is better, as we can adjust the stylus to ride heavily enough in the grooves to provide good sound, but not so heavy as to cause undue wear to the records. I've read elsewhere where someone measured the weight at the stylus and found this one to be 3 g. When I got the weight adjusted properly on my 120, it was 2.5 g. Not a notable difference, in the end.
g) S-shaped tonearm. They say this is better, but I'll be darned if I can hear the difference.
h) Interchangeable headshell and cartridge. They say a change of cartridge makes a big difference in sound. Some people will spend hundreds of dollars on high-end cartridges to tailor the sound just to their liking. That seems silly to me. Why not just adjust the tone controls on one's amplifier? Or get a proper EQ component. Anyway, I can admit there could be some value in this.
i) USB out option. The 60 is available with this too, for an extra $20. It works great with the free Audacity software. I've ripped several LPs to .wav and .mp3. It's worth paying extra for this feature, if only to make the records portable. But you don't need to upgrade to the 120 to get it.
j) Much heavier. The 120 has a big steel plate inside. I'm not sure what is up with this obsession for vibration dampening. There's no discernable difference in sound as a result of all this damping. Any difference heard would be mostly down to the cartridge.
k) LED strobe, to confirm at a glance that the RPM is correct.
More comparison between the 60 and 120 later.
2) Ion Vinyl Transport turntable. This uses the same mechanism as the ever-popular Crosley Cruiser, but adds battery operation, which I love. With the battery operation option, it is totally portable, not just portable in theory. I bring this to me to the Goodwill and other places for listening to used records. Gotta find out if those scratches are "skippers" before paying the full $1 and taking up room in my apartment for more junk. I bought this for sixty bucks at a local Half Price Books store, which also sells records. I just love this turntable, but it is not at all in the same league as this AT-LP60. It has a ceramic cartridge instead of magnetic. Sound quality is pretty terrible in this class of turntable. If you're listening to a Crosley with this mechanism, you're really missing out on how good vinyl can actually sound.
3) Fisher-Price from 1978. I just gave this to my daughter for Christmas. Check feeBay, you'll see the one. Believe it or not, this has a much better speaker than the Crosley/Ion/Jenson ones, and hence, better sound quality. But of course not comparable to this one, since it still has a ceramic cartridge. For techno-geeks, it has a really interesting drive mechanism though! (check YouTube for 'how to repair a fisher-price turntable)
Now if you're looking at this turntable and you're on a budget, you're likely also looking at the 120 model, for over double the price. Having both of them now, I think this 60 is a much value. For the money, it gives just what one is after:
1) Affordable
2) HiFi-grade sound
3) Not too big or heavy
4) Semi-automatic operation. This is the key difference. It makes it very nearly as convenient to play a record as a CD, yet we still have the option to do it manually.
The 60is about 40% smaller and 70% lighter than the 120, yet it functions just as well. It doesn't take up as much room, and it isn't a back-breaker to occasionally move around.
The one con I've found so far about this turntable is that it comes with a felt slip mat. (same as on the 120) These are a disaster when it comes to static. I opened my 60 yesterday for Christmas, then re-packed it to bring home. I wasn't careful enough in repacking, and I crunched up the edge of the slip mat, so now the records don't spin flat. I pressed it underneath something heavy and flat last night, but it is still jacked up. I've got a couple cork ones inbound to replace these. That will address the static problem, as well as the crunched up problem.
In short, the 120 is probably a much heavier-duty turntable. It will run hour after hour, year after year and keep going. No belts to break, no mechanics to break, nothing to really go wrong, except maybe electronic. But considering it is basically a copy of the famous DJ-favored Technics 1200, which was a mature design to begin with, that's probably not even a concern.
The 60 is a lighter-duty unit. It MIGHT wear out after 10 years of constant, heavy use. But its a lot more affordable, a lot more convenient, and a lot lighter and smaller. (though it can still operate fully with the dust cover down)
Assembly was stupid easy. Just lower the turntable onto the spindle (flat side up!) and then stretch the rubber band over the drive capstan by using the pre-installed ribbon. The automatic start and stop functions work perfectly. The quality of the sound that came out of this unit was very good, at least to my ears. It sounded just as good as a CD, as far as I could tell. The unit itself looks nice. It even has a descent suspension engineered into it. I upgraded the stock stylus to a model "ATN3600DLX" that I found at lpgear.com
The one thing that I don't like about this player is that there is no locking mechanism for the tone arm. I'm just using the twist-tie that came with the unit to lock the tone arm when I'm not using the unit :-(
Overall, I would highly recommend this player to anyone, specifically to a person who wants to transfer LP's to their hard drive.
PS- Amazon seems to have this audio-technica model misnamed. It should be "AT-LP60", NOT "AT-PL60"
PPS- "audio-technica" should be all lower case :-)
The Audio Technica arrived today, and I was pleased to see that it was made of sturdy parts, had a nice clean look, and above all NEVER skipped once! Even on records that are 40 or more years old. The fully metal plate ensures durability and quality, and after an easy little install process it is plug and play. This unit does not have a USB port, but I don't mind that a bit... if I wanted to digitize my records I would just buy mp3s. The reason I enjoy vinyl is because the analog sound is just so clean crisp and nostalgic. And if you needed to connect this to your PC, it would be very easy as it comes with connectors that you can hook into your pc with just a male to male headphone cable, right to your Line In, and would probably produce a better MP3 anyways.
I barely ever review a product but I just had to say something about this product because I was so impressed with the quality and price of this unit. I also ordered an upgraded cartridge for even better performance, but the stock cart is great too. Another great feature is there is a small switch on the back that toggles an internal pre-amp and regular analog out. This was great because my receiver has a phono input and my other record players would distort horribly because they had a permanent internal pre-amp without the option to turn it off. This also gives you a chance to make it even fancier by adding a nice aftermarket pre-amp if you so desire. Not to mention no more placing the needle on the LP yourself, fully automatic means you shut the dust cover and press start, and your off and running.
Anyway... I just can't recommend this unit enough, and after trying the other main brands in this price range... this is bar none head and shoulders above the others.

This was simple to use for a beginner like me and played some old records I picked up flawlessly. I liked it so much I got it for my Dad who has records from way back but no player. Got his stamp of approval too.
So you can't go long whether you're a beginner or someone who knows what their doing! Great buy.
