Phenomenal Turntable for My Very First!

I spent an exhaustive amount of time last week looking at Marketplace, eBay, and Amazon for listings. I also watched a ton of YouTube videos, read various subreddits, and overthought everything. All of the previous reviews made me nervous because you either got a fabulous unit or your delivery driver messes up and breaks your device. That being said, it came on-time along with my speakers and other accessories. My dust cover came already installed, but your instructions or online videos will show you how to put it on if need be. I got nervous trying to figure out how to get the belt drive dealio to where it needed to go because the paper instructions confused me, but YouTube shows you just fine. Otherwise, the instructions were intuitive. The fully automatic piece and price point is ultimately what sold me on it, because I almost wasted money on awful used suitcase units on Marketplace. I was so giddy when I finished hooking up my Edifier speakers to the AT-LP60X-GP turntable. Since I had recently watched the Michael biopic and since I grew up on his music, I *had* to buy the Thriller vinyl and live-react it. Very nostalgic. I’ve played two other vinyls on it with zero issues! Watching videos of people playing this vinyl record player doesn’t even give you the full picture. It was a whole experience, lol, and I was involuntarily dancing through the first track. I then ended up dancing through almost the entire album because of how excited I was. It doesn’t have Bluetooth, which if my budget was higher, I would have gotten the 70X or higher with Bluetooth speakers. But for a beginner unit, it fits my needs perfectly. I did have to invest in a larger record stand the next day because I had a small bookshelf I used the first night. You can press the furthest right button to automatically stop playing but keep the disc rotating. You can also press the start and stop buttons and the stylus will automatically slow down and maneuver everything over. It only does two speed levels, which I’m blanking on the numbers. And it only takes size 7 or 12 inch vinyls, which is fine because I don’t plan on buying the super tiny ones anyways. I’m no audiophile yet, so if you’re brand new to the hobby, this is a good fit. Don’t let the purists and other folks dog on this unit. Once we learn if we’re gonna keep up with collecting and playing vinyl, THEN save up for a higher-end unit.

Blown Away By this Turntable

Alright, folks, let's talk about this Audio-Technica turntable. If you're like me, you've got a stash of vinyl tucked away somewhere and you're ready to dust 'em off and give 'em a spin. But if you're still rocking that dusty old turntable from the 70s, it's time for an upgrade. And let me tell you, this turntable is the bee's knees. I bought this during the COVID times because I really wanted to upgrade from the disappointing turntable I had had since I was 12. I had had Audio-Technica Headphones before, and was pretty impressed with their quality, so I figured this turntable was a safe bet. I'm so glad I went this route -- every time I play a record, I'm yet again impressed by how good it sounds and by how much of an upgrade it is. So let me jump into the review of this turntable: first of all, can we talk about how easy this thing is to set up? I'm not exactly what you'd call "tech-savvy," but I was able to get this thing up and running in about 5 minutes. But the real reason we're all here is for the sound quality, am I right? Let me tell you, this turntable does not disappoint. The music comes through crisp and clear, with none of that annoying crackling or popping that you sometimes get with older turntables. And the fact that you can adjust the tracking force and anti-skate means you can really fine-tune the sound to your liking. And let's not forget about the looks. This thing is sleek and stylish, with a gunmetal gray finish that'll make all your friends jealous. Plus, it's got a cover to keep your records safe from dust and scratches. In conclusion, if you're in the market for a new turntable, do yourself a favor and check out the Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-GM. It's affordable, easy to use, and most importantly, it sounds fantastic. And if you're still not convinced, just think of all the cool points you'll score with your friends when they see this bad boy sitting on your shelf. ** As a quick side note, I will say that I paired theses with the Speakers that Amazon suggested -- I believe they are Edifier. I'm pretty happy with this combo, I feel that the sound quality together is fairly pleasing, but that said I feel you can get a similar quality out of any set of good quality speakers. Just wanted to mention what I was working with though.

Highly recommend

This record player has been such a fun addition to my space — setup was super easy, even if you’re not tech-savvy. It took just a few minutes to get everything unboxed, connected, and spinning. The instruction guide is clear and I had no trouble getting it ready to play. My room isn’t huge, but the sound fills it nicely without being too loud or muddy. You can hear all the detail in the music, and it feels really balanced — the lows have warmth and the highs are crisp without any static or distortion. I also love how adjustable the player is. Tuning the arm and getting the speed just right was straightforward, and it holds its settings well once you dial things in. Speaking of speed, it stays consistent with both 33⅓ and 45 RPM and I haven’t noticed any wobble or weird fluctuations, even on older records. Most importantly, it plays records really well. Vinyl sounds rich and full, like the music actually has space to breathe. I’ve played a mix of old classics and newer pressings, and everything comes through sounding great. Overall this record player is easy to set up, sounds gorgeous in my room, is easy to adjust, keeps accurate speed, and plays my records beautifully. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a quality, no-fuss way to enjoy their collection!

Great turntable for anyone who loves Listening to vinyl or starting out.

First it arrived on time. I’ve had it now for about two weeks. I’ve been testing it out before leaving a review. The Built quality is really good, stylus and arm set up already. You can only change the stylus, it as a good built in arm, with balance counter weight, not adjustable. It was very easy to set up. Once I set everything up. I hooked it up to my edifier R1700BT. It brought my records to life. Way better than my other turntable. The stylus is great, gives great sound. It also helps to have a great speaker, and clean vinyl. This is a Great turntable for beginners, and those who love listening to vinyl. For those more advanced, an upgrade would be best. In the future I might get an upgrade. I love my vinyl collection, I’m always looking for vinyl. I’m very happy with my purchase. Oh forgot the turntable as built in amps, my speakers also as built in amps. Line and phono at the back. It’s fully auto, start and when finished it auto return. The cover is plastic, easy to remove. The only thing is, I wish it was a bit heavier. I’m very happy with it. Update 2021 I’ve had it for a few months now. It’s still working great, still sounding great. I don’t play it often. Just once in a while. Glad I bought it.
