I have an LP60. I've had it for about ten months and I love it. I hooked it up to a simple little set of bookshelf speakers we've had in the family for at least 7 or 8 years. It's great for someone like me who's only been actively collecting for about a year, and only has about 150 records, including 45s.
ScrewyGrapes is it any good? What have you experienced with the lp60? I’m buying one pretty soon.
Michael Mitchell no it doesn’t
Got the lp60 myself I love it
Evan Did you have an amp bud
150 after a year! What do go to the record store every day. After about 2 1/2 years I’m only at maybe 55-60 all of which are 33
You should make a video of all the bad modern record players out there to avoid such as the crosley haha.
I might just do that! Haha
I have a crosley, it sucks. I'm saving for a new player
Glad I didn't buy one. About 5 days ago I had it in my hands and was about to get it but then I look at some reviews....
Crosley Cruiser is a bad turntable, but not all Crosley turntables are bad. There are some good ones like Crosley C62
@@vinyl.croatia that’s what I’m saving up for because it comes with speakers along with it
You can replace the stylus from a AT-LP60. Look up, replace stylus for LP60 on google. You'll find out how on the Audio Technica blog it self. They have replacements stylus for the LP60 for sell.
you can change the stylus, but not the cartridge. the cartridge is decent though, so it shouldn't be a huge deal
Im Just A Water Bottle ah! Yes. You are right.
The needle is replaceable (I use an elliptical LP Gear CFN3600LE on mine) on the LP-60. It also has anti-skating as proven by VWestLife on CZcams...
I was going to say why would anyone buy a record player where you can't change the needle when it's worn.
My choice would be Technics SL range for anyone wanting high quality at an affordable price. I have the SL-D303 and it sounds great.
Indeed, how can you not talk about Technics when you talk about good turn tables.
Nothing Like Vinyl ya like a Macintosh amp and a pair of Altec Lansing voice of the theater speakers.
Agreed, 1200 is the way to go. I have had mine for over a decade and they have survived everything. If you are looking for a great automatic, the SL-1950 is amazing; I bought one for a friend and I considered keeping it myself and passing off one of my MD3s.
Found a brand new SL-3210 for 209€. Had a Pro-Ject DB3 and upgraded to a Technics. The direct drive and automatic stop if a record is played really stands out even to this day.
With the exception of one of his recommendations it doesn't even sound like he's used or heard an of them.
Can't wait to get myself an lp120, gonna wait and see if there's any sales around christmas or new years first.
Also congrats on 1000+ subs! So cool to see your channel grow!
i actually have yet to, ive gotten some recording equipment for recording music and all but im still meaning to buy a record player. Honestly starting out with the lp60 seems like a good bet and see what you think of it from there, but i hope you enjoy your lp60!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was just about to buy a Crosley on sale for $50 bucks at Urban Outfitters. After seeing prices for other record players, it seemed too good to be true. Your videos really helped, and I'm going to buy that Audio Technica :)
Haha, I was about to do the very same
You chose wisely...
adrock1011 I'm getting an Audio Technica LP60
Stefanie Martinez Do you have the LP60 or LP120
Just bought a Crosley today. Took it out and immediately noticed how terribly made it was. Sound is AWFUL. Taking it RIGHT back tomorrow.
The way the Santa emoji sat perfectly on that dudes head cracks me up😂 0:16
I have the LP60 and I love it! It's definitely a great first turntable. I definitely recommend it to anyone getting into vinyl!
I love pretty much any turntable by Audio-Technica, no matter what turntable they make it’s always good lol
I like how the santa emoji matched up with the man on the record cover in the back. 😊
+CassiØ haha glad you liked that!
@@vinyleyezz Which record is that though? The one with the man and the green background
For the ATLP60, you actually can replace the "needle" or stylus as it's called. You cannot replace the cartridge however. The stylus comes right out and can be upgraded to a better one.
I have been using the ATLP60USB for the past 6 weeks. Read a lot of negative reviews about it too. Some mention that it will completely destroy your records. Any truth to that? Also what would be considered an upgrade to the existing needle? What models of stylus would fit it?
+Kar Nim Leong it won't completely destroy your records, but it is definitely a beginners or casual listeners model. If you really want the better sound, I would upgrade when you get the opportunity. Look for a p-mount replacement stylus if you want to change the needle. The only problem I foresee is the LP60s inability to adjust the tracking force which means you should probably only replace the stylus with the stock one. If you do, you'll need to get a "p-mount" stylus.
Noted with thanks. Looking to upgrade my TT end of this year.
+jondubb35 No problem. PM me if you want some suggestions. I'm somewhat of a turntable expert and buying, selling, repairing and reviewing them is what I do.
+jondubb35 hello. excuse me, what do you mean with "stock"? i've got the atlp60, and know you can replace the needle, but so it would only work if you replace it with the same kind of needle?
I have the exact silver Audio-technica turntable and love it. I love the fact that the pitch adjustment works so well too. When it’s in the middle it truly is the correct speed.
To be clear (because no one seems to ever mention this), ANY turntable with a built-in pre-amp or a turntable going through a external pre-amp (boosting the signal to line level) can be plugged into a computer ...no USB needed. You'd just plug into the line-in or "microphone" input. All you need is the right cable (2 RCA to stereo eighth inch). You can then record on your computer using whatever; Audacity for example. The ONLY difference here (besides the connection) is that instead of the turnbable doing the Analog to Digital conversion, your computer is doing the Analog to Digital conversion.
Wouldn't the computer be a more superior crossover (soundwise) than the turntable USB?
Dude, your voice makes me want to slip into a smoking jacket and sip brandy from a crystal snifter.
same
Johnny John and thanks for confirming CZcams comments are still as cancerous as and useless as they are stereotyped to be.
Thanks for confirming that you have no sense of humor.
I bought a Technics 1210mk2 in near mint condition off eBay a couple of months ago and it's the best turntable I've owned by far!
+David Richardson nice! Those technics turntables are the best! Industry standard back in the day! :)
I received a silver Audio Technica LP60 turntable for Christmas (2016), and I really love it! It was very easy to assemble, and it's very easy to operate!
Well as a Brit I may be biased, but I had a late 70's Sony PS-22 full auto direct drive turntable and I thought it sounded great. However, a couple of months ago I treated myself a brand new 2016 Rega Planar 2. Just astonishing!!
I'm still using a 35 year old Kenwood I bought new.
Rich
Nice! Glad it's working for you!
I have a Dual 506 works great
i have a kenwood p44
Richard Riley m
I have a Dual 1226 and my daily driver is an Akai AP 206.
Audio Technica ATLP120USB is the best!! for its price range all you need is an Ortofon cartridge and you good to go!
I bought the pro-ject debut carbon espirit in 2013. It sounds terrific. really great. simple setup. Only a stop and start button. You have to remove the platter to adjust from 45 rpm to 33 1/3 rpm and back. Still. The sound is tops. therefore I am glad I got it. No built in preamp so I have one, also pro-ject between the turntable and my regular amplifier.
Nice! I'm glad it's working out for you! Project turntables are awesome!
I've had the Audio Technica LP60 for almost 5 years and it's still going strong!
still going?
i love my Technics 1210 :) ...that hardware quality feel, and everything else...
+indyvinylz those are great turntables! Built like a tank and sound amazing!
ha-ha, I see you bro.
me too
I have one
LP60 (and possibly others metioned) DOES have anti-skating, even though it might not be adjustable. Its needle can be replaced.
Love your presence and voice. I honestly am not even interested in turntables, I just watch your stuff to pick up on your speaking skills lol.
I got a uturn Orbitz special w/ built in preamp... Replaced the ortofon red it came with with a audio Technica vm540ml cartridge. So all told I'm in at about $800... But it sounds awesome... A couple other benefits to the orbits uturn special - it has a base with 3 rubber feet to limit vibration... It has an acrylic platter which eliminates the need for a slip mat.. it's made in the USA and the company has legendary customer service. Also, the company that provides the motor for the uturn is the same company that provides them for VPI turntables...VPI makes very high end TTs.
If i was a audiophile, i would definitly go for th $400 vinyl record player, but i also would go for a tube amplifier and stereo speakers for wich both has 3 speakers in it for wich each have a lowpass & highpass filter for sound saperation to get the best sound ever.
+johneygd that sounds like a kickass setup!
If you want the best, Get a duel 721 direct drive, it has a gimble mounted tone arm and wil track the worst of warped records as well as play the hotest cut grooves without lifting out of the groove ! And has a very easy to change quick release cartridge head !
I have the Pro-ject Debut Carbon DC and I love it....great sound and easy to use.
+Hunter Vision nice!
0:16 Santa just fits perfectly on the album in the background
Got a Stanton T92 a couple weeks ago. Comes with preamp, USB, high end (and replaceable) cartridge. It has adjustable tracking force too. It's already the best turntable I've ever owned.
+Vault 111 nice! Enjoy it!
I have the Audio Technica LP60 and I haven't had any problems other than the cartridge is a little cheap. But the sound is great and it is an amazing choice on a budget.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it!
He has good broadcasting skills.
bareknuckles2u True. He has a radio voice but not pretentious
Thanks for all your videos, I enjoy your channel. I wanted to get into the hobby as inexpensive as I could. I have a receiver &a speakers compounds have been in storage for 15 years but they worked when I set em up. I bought the LP60 and it over deliverers for it's price point. So I was off, I retrieved my few remaining records from the parents house, dropped the needle on Dark Side and i was hooked. Since then I have become a fixture at the record stores in town. I watch the VC channels and saved for an upgrade. Now I am playing my records on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit. I am gobsmacked at the quality of sound. The LP60 with the preamp on is plugged into the receiver's auxiliary, I use it to test used records before playing on the esprit. Spinnin Vinyl Daily! Thanks again.
With all these new turntables going for over a hundred bucks. I own a TEAC P-A688 full automatic table i bought new back in 1995 25 years old. Still works &. can still be able to buy a replacement replacement needles for it.
Man, that last one is beautiful.
I know right? Haha
Oh, then take a look at the debut esprit model. Moar turntable porn :)
Is this list still accurate in 2016?
It should be! Good turntables usually remain good turntables.
That Guy what about 2017??
Yeah! All of these should be pretty good for 2017 as well.
rather invest in some vintage turntables for example the Technics SL line. The modern Pro Ject ones are like an iPhone - design is great but you don't get anything else. No automatic tonearm-returning, you have to manually change the belt for some Pro-Ject models (sometimes it forces you to dismount the entire turntable), as mentioned no tonearm hight adjustment, no precize anti-skate etc. All that can be found on turntables from the late 1970es up to mid 1980es. A brand new SL-3210 will cost you around 200 bugs.
That Guy how about the end of 2017?
I got a TEAC Bluetooth turntable for Christmas. So far I love it. Not many adjustments but we will see how it holds up
Best option is to visit every Salvation Army/Goodwill/Pawn shop/ Etc in your area, try to score a vintage turntable with a magnetic cartridge on the low. Theyll most likely be sold in As is condition which will lead to being an incredibly cheap price. Will often just need a new belt, and/or needle. I scored a 1978 BSR Quanta for only $10 that has an arm very similar to the LP120. Worked fine until I sold it.
I’m trying to get into vinyls and I just don’t know what to get, I just need something worth my money and is easy to use with good quality. Any recommendations? I’m a newbie but I just need a simple one for now till I figure out all this.
They are called records not vinyls...they are made out of vinyl thats all
Honestly it depends on your budget, I bought a victrola which I’m not ashamed of due to the fact that I’m a teenager with a budget of $40-$30 and I would kinda say it’s better than a crosely but I’m gonna ask for a better one this Christmas
AT-LP60 is the way to go
you didn't mention the fact that the debut carbon comes with an ortofon 2m red cartridge which pretty expensive on it's own
That's true! It's hard to pack so much detail into 1 video haha. The 2M Red is such a great cart though!
In my opinion, the video should've been much longer precisely to include more details. Specifying what cartridge each record player has is not a minor detail especially when it comes to "justifying" the price considering that the ortofon 2m red is between 100 to 150 USD.
I do think that this is a great video in spite of that!
2M red expensive? It's by far not a bad cart but compared to a 2M blue it fails. Hiss, distortion (pretty rare tho)...Not my choice. I would go for the 2M silver or bronze.
You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars. I bought a 1970's Elizabethan Record player for £10.00. Stunning piece of vintage equipment and sounds great. Plus you have the authenticity of sound as well.
I have an original Technics SL 1210 M5G. They are no longer manufactured. But in the summer of 2016, the Technics release a special edition of the famous turntable in 1200 copies.
+Le Ha (Art) nice! Technics are a great brand!
Hey jarrett you hit 1,000 congrats im still loving the videos keep going
Thank you so much Marcus! I'll keep the good videos coming!
I have a Thorens TD160 for 25 years.
Still going strong.....
Same her - TD160 Super AND I recently treated myself to a TD520 S, with a SME 3012.
Have had the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon for a couple of years now and still sounds good as the day I brought it.
+fred Lastfred Nice! You bought quality! And Quality lasts!
I picked up an JVC L-A31 at a used record shop for $60, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend it as an entry-level record player. It has adjustable height, skating, counterweight, and changeable cartridges. 33/45 rpm. No USB or built in Pre-amp since this thing was made in the 1980's!
after watching this and your other "5 turntables..." video there is no question what i will buy. The LP-120 is awesome!
The first one you recommended has horrible reviews online🙈 I want one for Christmas so bad but don't know what do get. Can you answer some questions I have?! Please help
I have tried some of these. But found the best turntable for me is the Audio Technica AT-LP 1240 USB. Added an At 440mlb. cartridge. This table sounds amazing.
You were the reason why I got my audio technica LP 120 and I absolutely LOVE it. I can’t thank you enough 😍
Nice Lateralus
thank you!
indeed!
how many grams of pressure is the LP60? My safe zone is 1.5 to 3.0.
Pretty sure the LP60 tracks at about 3.
Paul-e-Wise
I have a Dual 606 turntable. I'm a huge fan of it. what are your thoughts on the quality?
+Troy Amadeus those dual turntables are built very well! Dual, Linn, and Technics are all good vintage brands!
I bought a Pioneer PL-88FS front loading programable turntable in 77 still works good
The Audio Technica LP120 is excellent. Im really pleased with mine; it sounds great and the build quality is superb. It cost £220 (about $300) from an independent hi-fi shop here in the UK which was strangely cheaper than amazon. The only thing I did find was the tracking weight set up was fiddly (but that might just have been me!); so I did buy a cheap tracking weight scale online to get the precise 2 gram.
Nice! Glad it's working out great for you!
The biggest problem with the LP120 is that I currently don't own one. ;-) But seriously, you can't go wrong with replica mk1200's.
+Shaun Daskam (piperpilot26) haha so true!
No Crosley? j/k LOL :)
I got my very first Vinyl today.
I am gonna start collectiong Video Game Vinyls.
Thank you for the recommendations, I was about to get the Crosley but thanks to you, you saved my Vinyl from getting scratched up ;)
I got an LP60 in an orange color. It's apparently been discontinued, and i got it for $80 from a record store in florida. Absolutely amazing find on its own, but its also just an incredible turntable and a step up from my Victrola Brighton
The project Debut Carbon is not the best turntable in todays market. Its the best turntable in the BUDGET or beginner market. Theres tons of turntables better than this.
I swear I could sell my house for one of those turntables but the falt that I need it to survive it's sad
You DON'T need the USB version of the LP-60 (or any turntable for that matter) to connect to a computer. This turntable and most other new turntables output at line level (they have a built-in preamp). This means you can, with simple adapter cable, plug into the mic/line input of your computer.
I own both, the U-Turn Orbit & Pro-ject Debut III Turntable, and recommend both of them.
None of them are comparable to a Technics 1210 or 1200 sorry .
+juan jose garrido muñoz Agree. The Technics separates the boys from the men. Nothing matches it.
Not everyone can afford that. Of course they’re better but that’s no the point of these videos.
what if we don't wanna be your friend
Just a heads up, the LP-60 does have the option of a replaceable stylus. The cartridge housing itself is fixed, The stylus can be ordered directly from Audio Technicas website for $25.00 USD, or from any retailer that deals in audio equipment.
My grandparents have an original Garrard Zero 100 that hasn't been used in decades, but will be getting some use hopefully soon thanks to me.
I'm getting the audio technica 60 for my birth day!!
Aidan Vynal it's such a great turntable!
Aidan Vynal I got it for Christmas! It's great
Nothing like a Technics 1200, sorry.
You can buy replacement needles for the audio technica on Amazon
Go used... Get a Technics, particularly the SL-1200.
- No pre-amp.
- No USB
But years of proven reliability, sound quality and fanatics for life. An audiophile turntable so good, it was adopted by the DJ / Broadcast community.
I bought an lp 60 with USB and I love it thanks man.
One thing that wasn't mentioned during the video, (I believe) is that both the U-Turn Orbit & the Pro-ject Turntables, are fully manual, so you have to lift up the tonearm at the end of the record, a deal breaker, for the casual vinyl listener....
My setup plan is going to be: pro-ject - 1 xpression Carbon classic, pro-ject tube box s pre-amp! I already own the Stanmore Marshall speakers so I'm almost there!!
My selection of the turn table is Pioneer PLX 500 because the fichurs and excellent sound.
Audio Technica LP-60: The stylus (needle) can be replaced, and should be every thousand hours or less. The cartridge can't be swapped with a different type. I assume that's what you probably meant, but it was a little fuzzy. You COULD replace a damaged cartridge with the same type, but probably not worth the money or effort. Connect the non-USB type (as with any line out, pre-amplified turntable) to a computer with a female RCA to 3.5 mil. plug (headphone type) cable, or a female RCA coupler to male RCA to 3.5 mil., OR 3.5 mil. from your receiver's headphone jack to 3.5 mil. into the computers audio input for a few dollars. Connect any pre-amplified audio source that has RCA outputs or a headphone jack to your computer this way (external turntable pre-amp, tape deck, shortwave radio, junk Crosley with the odd and kind of rare headphone jack, Walkman, old crap General Electric boombox, etc.). Download Audacity recording software for free. The audio will still play through your computer even without Audacity.
I love my Audo-Techneqica L60. Its amazing
First turnable I bought was the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, I've been and I still be very happy of it!
+Betamax Flippy Nice! That's a great turntable!
I have an audio technica AT-LP60 in blue and I do not regret it
+Vince Garza Nice! Glad it's working great for you!
i have an audio technica lp 60. it works great for my first record player. i almost bought a Crosley but a long time record enthusiast friend of mine told me to get this one instead.
alizandra lopez even though we've upgraded to the LP120, we still own our LP60 and have a lasting respect for it, and yes it is light years ahead of any Crosley.
Hi Jarrett! Did you know that the first-issues of Pro-Ject's Essential, or Debut line was the Czechslovakian made Tesla NC500? Look after it, it is very similar. It was made in Litovel (Czech republic). Pro-Ject record players are made in the same manufacture in Litovel, Czech republic too. :-) I have a black Debut III, with Ortofon OM-10. It costs about 260 dollars and it is a very great buy for a beginer too. Have a nice day!
That's so cool! I didn't know that! I'm glad you're happy with your Debut III!
Thank to you I DID NOT buy the Crosley and end up spending a bit more on the LP60 usb. Loving it so far
Since i could not afford a good modern turn table i got a vintage one and thus far i really like it
I recently bought pro-ject primary on black Friday for about 200 bucks and it's great. It's pre calibrated so you can't set it by yourself but i believe they know how to set it up at pro-ject beyter than I do
I dunno if at the time of making this video it was different, but the AT-LP60 does actually allow you to replace the stylus, just not the cartridge so you're not going to be able to upgrade it but it is still possible to replace a worn out stylus.
For just a couple hundred more you can buy the Pioneer Plx-1000, which I've loved for two years now. it's basically a clone of the Technics SL but with dampening on the tonearm and removable RCA plugs. I have an AT440mlb cart on it now and the sound is beyond phenomenal...even on old, worn records.
I just bought a dodocool suitcase record player and the sound quality is beautiful! I'm not saying the best because I haven't owned any other record player but it is fantastic.
Had my eye on that Debut Carbon for a while now, one day I'll upgrade from my entry level Denon (been saying that for years now ha ha)...great rundown of the pros and cons of each model and congrats on hitting 1K!
Thanks so much Doug!
Thanks you!! Watching your video made me decide to buy the technica. I have an old collection of 80's remixes that i haven't played in over 30 years. Time to dust them off. 😊
Nice! 80's music is great! I'm so glad I've helped you!
+Vinyl Eyezz ive had to order it online because it seems hard to get here in San Antonio, Tx. No one has it. 😡
I fixed up my old belt drive Technics SL-B303 and it sounds great, and I have era matching cabinet speakers. it sounds so good.
I have the Music Hall MFF 2.2 with a Grado Labs Gold 2 cartridge. That combination gives fantastic sound quality. AND it doesn't cost more that the Pro-Ject Carbon.
I got an audio technica lp120 I love playing my blues records on it
Seriously turntables are still amazing!
I strongly recommend TEAC TN-300. It's cheaper than Project but better in quality. Sound is so natural, balance and warm
Had a debut carbon for almost a year now. Absolutely fantastic. Wouldn't change a thing on it. If I want to upgrade at any time I can with the new cartridge
I've had a Audio Technical PL-120 for about a decade and at the time it was one of the best turntables that was available at that particular time it wasn't cheap either it when for about $450 or so online and also if you could fine one in the store it when for a very similar price them too. It is an excellent turntable close in some ways to what a small radio station might use because of the adjustments that you can do it is also designed to be used for DJ work as well.
I like the looks and feel of the Lp120. For me the plus is the 78 speed. With a pair of Ortofon concords ( one for 33/45 and one for 78) swapping between them would be easy. I am a 50 plus year old record fan and am considering selling my late 70's Pioneer turntable for one. It still command about 300-500 on eBay. Great video
+wrowe12 The LP 120 is a solid turntable! Thanks for watching!
Hey man, very informative vids! I want to start out my collection on a budget. Looking for high quality players with built-in speakers, if there is such a thing. What are your thoughts on the portable Victorla player (looks identical to the Crosley player)?
The last pick: pro-ject debut carbon, the money they spent on the carbon tube they had to get by spending less on the arm bearing assembly.
Hi, awesome video! After falling for a crappy Ion turntable I returned it and got the LP120 after yours and many other recommendations :-) In the UK i managed to pick one up for the equivalent of $150 which was an absolute bargain!
Thinking about the debut carbon firstly My choice for a beginner was a NAD C556 (which is kind a clone of a rega). It cames out with a audiotechnica AT 95 E or something closed I don't remember now because I quickly updated it to a ortofon 2m red. And yeah! Already very satisfied, this update made me have a soundgasm. I was felling quite suspicious about the effect of passing to this cartridge but I absolutely don't regret. Very good cartridge especially with the actual prices on markets (got a new one for 62 euros). Trying to do my best to write a non-dirty English.
Nice Vidéo by the way
Nice video. However, for beginners, it might be helpful to talk about whether each turntable is manual, has auto return, or is fully automatic. I have the Pro-ject debut carbon 2 (it's manual) - i got the turntable with the speed control (45 - 33) built in. I think some of the other pro-ject turntables might need the belt changing to play at different speeds, which might be important for beginners to know. Similar to other comments - the pro-ject turntables come with an Ortofon cartridge meaning they will cost more. There are advantages to not having a built in pre-amp on your turntable.
Actually you can replace the needle for the audio technica lp60. It worked for me. You have to pull it down and it separates.
instead of the project essential 2 I would recommend a second hand technics 1200mk2 or a dual 1229
"best sounding" does also depend a lot on the needle. and if you wanna go into vibrations of a turntable and get nitpicky than talk about the magnitization of the motor influencing the needle.
