@@user-lw3ie6sp9i wet deep cleaning of a record does only need to happen every once in a while if you treat your records carefully. I deep-clean brand new vinyl and vinyl I get used from second hand stores. Once cleaned, I use a carbon fibre brush for every side before and after playing. My stylii are being cleaned after every side with a carbon fibre brush as well. And every five records or so, I use the Audio Technica stylus cleaner fluid.

Im an audiophile who likes the nicer tables, but in this specific budget entry level category I know there are different tables suited to different people and I also like and appreciate the intelligent improvements seen here on the new LP-60X. A friend of mine who's not really an audiophile per se nor does she go in for all the fiddly stuff of a manual audiophile table asked me what to buy and budget was a serious consideration - so after explaining all the differences between A-phile tables and entry level rigs I told her about the new 60X and she was able to make that decision on her own based on her needs, skills and budget - and while I myself could not tolerate no counterweight, no anti-skate or lack of ability to swap cartridges, I knew this table was perfect for (HER needs and situation). She ordered one of these and though she had never set up a turntable herself I gave her minimal guidance on the phone (she lives a good distance from me) and she was able to set it up on her own in about ten minutes, and boy was she proud of that--lol I also told her to order one of the heavy rubber mats to replace the felt mat to help the performance a bit and Im happy to say she plays it almost constantly with no issues and is extremely pleased, I also gave her a little bit of info about Audio Technica and what a decent company theyve been through the years so it all just worked out perfect for HER. Just goes to show happiness for many is not necessarily the most expensive and detail oriented turntable, sometimes the siimplicity of a decent quality entry level automatic rig is exactly whats needed.

I have the cheapest of the next grade up, the Lenco L-3808. I use it in phono mode as I have a phono pre-amp. You notice then that getting a better cable will make a lot of difference, not one of these stupidly-priced audiophile jobs, but made from a decent wire (Van Damme twin hifi cable) and cheap gold-plated plugs, it was less than £10 (British). If you're using the internal pre-amp I doubt it will make much difference though. I'd also suggest getting a right-angle jack plug or adapter, it gives you more space at the back of the unit.

The biggest upgrade of the "X' is that the phono output bypasses the built-in pre-amp completely. The older version had the phono output pass through the pre-amp which negatively affected the sound quality.

I've been using an AT LP60 for 6 years. I've not had any skipping, and it sounds impressive. I am currently restoring a vintage NAD 5025, that came with a Grace F-9e cartridge. I'm sure once it's set up, it will sound better, but the LP60 is a solid choice for starting out.

After seeing this video, the AT-LP60X might be the perfect turntable for me. I initially thought based on a beginner guide video from a vinyl snob that I mistakenly watched that I'd never be able to find a good turntable that I could actually afford that didn't require repair knowledge I don't have, but now that I've seen this, I've just found the turntable I'll use to play my small record collection. Thank you for this. :)

I consider myself an audiophile (a kind, rational and realistic one). I just bought an LP60X as a birthday present for my mother, it’s very good for the price. Especially in terms of sound quality, I put a cork mat on it which reduced resonance and increased detail. Yeah, only complaint from me is the felt slip mat. Also Kevin I love you in-depth detail.

Christopher Whitson The cork mat reduces resonance and eliminates static which improves sound quality, a rubber or leather mat will do the same. Which is best? That’s highly subjective and down too personal taste. Also felt mats attract dust and get stuck too the bottom of some records because of static and are annoying to keep clean.

I’m an audiophile and have a Linn/Rega system (well two actually in different rooms) but I do actually approve of these little decks, they do punch above their weight and they make a solid introduction to the world of vinyl. I was impressed enough that I bought one for my daughter, the built in preamp means it can be plugged into her Linn Classik where it sounds great.

I'm also an audiophile, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. THIS (the LP60X) is THE turntable for vinyl beginners, people who don't listen to their records very often, and, as you say, kids. This TT is also a good choice for college students, who want more than just an all in one system (like Crosley, Victrola, etc.), but don't have a lot of room in their dorm room. Since this has a built in preamp, only speakers would be needed to complete your system with this.

I have accumulated three of the original AT-LP60 turntables. One I received brand-new as a Christmas gift, a second lightly-used one was given to me for free by somebody desperate to get rid of stuff on the month they were moving away, the third one was an almost-mint LP60 with a flawless dust cover (but missing the drive belt) bought at Goodwill for $14. On my original unit, I bought an upgraded the belt to the LP Gear "SuperVivid" belt, which IMHO audibly improved low-frequency definition. All three work fairly well, and to be honest sound a lot better than I would expect. I think the newer LP60X is an improvement but I really don't need one at this point. In summary: the LP60 is enjoyable and I suspect the LP60X is better with the power supply upgrade, tonearm refinements to reduce resonance, and ability to use longer connecting cables. Thanks for your review!

The new 120X is significantly worse than the 120. It does not have VTA adjustment, it does not have an internal power supply, it does not have an aluminum 45 adapter. Tge correct comparison would be with the LP120 and the LP140X which is significantly better.

@@jpm_drums It's a trade-off. On the other hand you get a quieter motor (but with less torque), proper pre-amp bypass, a cartridge upgrade and working anti-skating which earlier lp120 had troubles with. For DJs it is worse for home listening it's better in my opinion.

I picked up a AT-LP60X recentl;y and I'm very happy with it. For the price I can't fault it at all. One thing I've noticed is mine is all black verses the black/silver one you review here.

I was thinking about getting the ATH-M50x headphones, but then opted to get the Sennheiser HD-6xx from Drop. With a Schiit Jotunheim Multi-bit edition, they sound amazing. Sure, it's a lot more expensive with the DAC/Amp combo, but that's even a nice addition to cheaper headphones.

10:51 - Another thing folk should bear in mind - at 3.5g, the cheaper conical stylus will cause less record wear than the more accurately-tracking elliptical stylus. May not sound as great, but it's easier on the record. If there is one thing that damages records, it is a WORN stylus. Yet still they will slate Crosley and Victrola!

Good job as always. I was considering to buy AT-LP60x. Decided to invest a bit more money at the last moment. Don’t really know if it’s worth it. Looks like 60x is good enough for casual listening.

My lp-60x was running about 4% too fast out of the box, but I got mine right after they released. For those of you who bought yours early checking the speed is worthwhile.

There are 2 pots on the underside where you can adjust speed and tracking. A small screwdriver sorts it.

Excellent comparison - thank you. I’m looking at getting the Bluetooth version of the new AT or the Sony PS-LX310BT. Which would you recommend? Does Sony have a better tone arm mechanism?

I received an LP60X as a gift for my birthday. Any tips for adjusting drop speed of the tone arm? Mine seems to be dropping fast when played automatically and even if I wait for the stylus to move to the lead in and then ease out on the button myself, it drops faster than I’d like it to. I am curious if it’s even possible to make any sort of adjustment or fix. I appreciate your videos. Thank you!

I don't think it's adjustable, but even if it drops quickly it doesn't really cause any damage to the stylus or your records.

For the price it sounds very good, very nice cart and a VERY quiet integrated preamp. The cartridge has incredibly well handled sibilance, which is not an easy feat in any cartridge, let alone in this price range. The tonearm I think has too much damping. Records off center with some movement cause the stylus to move side to side inside the cartridge as it pulls the tonearm. Also clearly visible in the lead outs. In my case, skipping issues are related to this off center + heavy damping that can cause the needle to skip. In my case backwards, causing loops. On the other hand, the damping helps a lot the automatic system to land in the lead-in of the records without sliding. Anyway, I think is a very decent TT for the price. Cheers.

Make sure the cueing lever is lowering all the way. Record-ology did a video about this common and easily fixable cause of skipping with cheap record players: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2K8epttrsSoq7c

I just got my ATLP60X to replace an old LTP60. Your video was very helpful and informative. The one thing I noticed when I mute the sound towards the end of playback on an Lp or 45 is a slight clicking or tapping sound. This seems to "perhaps" be normal as the automatic tonearm return mechanism is preparing to engage. I never noticed that noise with ATLP60, Just the new x version. It does not affect the sound quality, but is this noise normal as the tonearm tracks toward the end of playback??? Thanks!

You can try adding a bit more grease to the mechanism (under the large white plastic gear) to quiet its operation.

I've kinda fallen down the rabbit hole of spending too much money on hi-fi stuff but still very much enjoyed your video. It's great there is so much available to people interested in music, whether they want to spend a little or a lot. The 60x seems like a great table for the price.

Hi VWestlife! I was curious if you've had or have seen the Audio Technica AT LP2D USB? I have that model which I bought on Amazon some time ago for I think $80? Is it the predecessor to the LP60? It's very similar but with a front angled dark smoked dust cover and a rubber not felt no logo platter mat. I'm quite happy with it just wondered if you ever reviewed it? I really enjoy your channel one of my watch for very week ones.

Yes, that's the same thing as the AT-PL50 except with a USB output. Functionally identical to the AT-LP60-USB.
