The AT-LP60XBT plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and comes with a 45 RPM adapter, a detachable dual RCA output cable (for wired connection) and a removable hinged dust cover. And I think that’s a great thing, because while people always want to save money, I think that when it comes to the vinyl hobby specifically, you want to feel you’re getting a luxury feel—even if you’re really not. the AT-LP60x's specs (left) / under the platter of the AT-LP60x: belt drive + auto-play mechnism (right)

Of course, the AT-LP60XBT can also be operated just like a regular turntable with a traditional wired connection. Either way – wired or wireless – you get outstanding audio with the ease of automatic operation controlled by front-panel start, stop and tonearm lift buttons. I have spent a lot of time testing the sound of my AT-LP60XBT and compared it against my more expensive audiophile turntable. When you unbox the AT-LP60X, it is almost ready to go. The only thing you have to do is placing the belt on the pulley and that’s it. The instructions show clearly how you placate belt. improvements to the tonearm base (left) / newly designed headshell with easier-to-use finger-lift (right)That said, the AT-LP60X is still an entry-level turntable, and it won’t sound as good as audiophile turntables. Which isn’t expected either. We think you'll agree our 6 Year Guarantee offers fantastic value. What's more, if you don't use it Now, as you hover over the record player, you simply look down to see which button does which, thanks to Audio-Technica moving this text up from the front panel to the top of the turntable in front of the dust cover. Another small but improved visual detail that I like is how the dust cover meets the top of the turntable. On the LP60, the dustcover came down onto the turntable and meet the record player’s edges with little room for margin.

One thing you wouldn't expect from an ultra-budget turntable is that the sound quality would scale with more expensive equipment. Hook a music jewellery box up to a costly stereo system, for example, and all you'll hear is louder tinkling. The Audio-Technica, on the other hand, really shone with a more expensive system where the bass in particular was able to stretch out. It plays 33 and 45 RPM records and it has a replaceable stylus (needle) that can be replaced for a low cost when it is worn out. It will usually take about 1000 hours to wear it out. The AT-LP60X is Audio-Technica’s entry-level turntable in its latest iteration. Before it was upgraded in 2019, its model description didn’t include the X at the end. Before 2019 it was sold as the AT-LP60. And lastly, the AT-LP60XHP that has a headphone output with volume control and comes with headphones included.

providing a great latitude to seriously enhance the performance of your turntable.

Most people would probably guess that I have paid more for it than I actually have. They both are designed in very similar fashion, of course, so they do share a striking resemblance. But the LP60X is a more refined machine, and I think that (just purely from an aesthetics point of view) it looks better on a table or cabinet than the LP-60 did.
