Audio Technica at-Lp60 Turntable

Product Information

The AT-LP60X is approximately a pound lighter, likely due to the external power adapter and removable cables (more about this below). Fully automatic operation as standard, with a belt driven aluminium platter, inbuilt phono preamp and even a USB output, on this model at least. The Audio Technica AT-LP60-USB changes that, combining simple operation with a clean, balanced and organised sound and, like the aforementioned Audio Technica and Lenco, the ability to rip your vinyl to digital files.

You will have to assemble the tonearm and head shell, assemble the turntable platter and slip mat, set the tone arm balance and tracking force, set the anti-skate and set the tonearm height.

This same chassis, manufactured by the Chinese turntable OEM outfit Hanpin, has been used in many a turntable over the years.

Wow factor can be described as a quality or feature of something that makes people feel great excitement or admiration.I remember very clearly how amazed I was when I unboxed my LP-120 and started to assemble the different parts. The removable power cord now features an external AC adapter, which will help with audio signal quality by lowering interference.

This is obviously not a test that can be performed twice on the same record, as doing so inevitably causes wear to the record that will impact on the results. or 48kHz WAVs by connecting your PC or laptop to the turntable’s USB type B output, then using the supplied Audacity software to process them. The top quality Bluetooth codec gives the best quality signal from deck to speaker (when used with compatible aptX components). The LP120 is a very popular “project turntable” and there are a variety of possible upgrades and modifications to consider.An update of the popular AT-LP60, the ATLP60X features a redesigned tonearm base and headshell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. And given that I purchased mine lightly used with motor failure I would also question the reliability, especially as compared to a used, vintage turntable for equivalent or less money. If the stereo system you are using has a PHONO input, set the Pre-amp Selector Switch to the “PHONO” position. It is a linear diaphragm pump from our budget range of air blowers but they have proven to be hardworking, reliable and durable. Based on the results of the test I can conclude that the AT-LP60 will not cause record damage, at least not any more damage than would be expected of a similar turntable.
