Hum or static? Hum while sitting and static moving albums? I have Onkyo and I love LOUD. 4 speakers are in (18" wolfers etc...) but I have that horrible ground hum and have adjusted everything... no help on 35 year old Technics. I listen, the neighbors do too type of thing.

[@alejandrocardenas6668]

Hi, the turntable sound by it self or only by an stereo system?

[@sparkytdg]

@@alejandrocardenas6668 I have it running with an Onkyo tuner. However, I was running a 30 -35 year old Technics BD 20 that was considered pretty good in its' time. I developed a humm and didn't want to track down grounds. I plugged this LP60X in its place and now my stereo is twice as loud, twice as clear and sounds incredible.

[@trouble5085]

A couple things: You don't take that red ribbon off before installing the platter. It's actually for installing the rubber belt instead of using your fingers. AND the dust cover comes off easily because most audiophiles do not use it during operation. $129 across all retail outlets these days. The great thing about this turntable is that it is fully automatic, meaning you hit the button and it puts the needle on the record and removes/retracts it at the end of the side. The thing I hate about this turntable is that it's impossible to adjust the anti-skating and tone-arm weight yourself. Whatever the factory settings are, that's what you're stuck with. It's made for folks who really don't want to be bothered with all that.

Hi, I really enjoyed your review on the AT PL 60X. I actually bought this turntable just under 3 weeks ago. I went on KZbin and searched for reviews on this turntable and I clicked on your channel. I liked your review of the AT LP 60 X. I've been a bigtime fan of vinyl records since I was around 11, 12 years old. I'm going to be 58 next month in November, so I'm not new to vinyl records. I bought the AT LP 60X turntable because of the low price. I really like the turntable. Yes, I do know that you can spend more money for a turntable, but I didn't want to. As I mentioned, I really like the AT LP60X turntable. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I hope that you, your family and friends are healthy and safe due to the coronavirus. Take care!

I bought one last night as I have a small personal collection of albums on vinyl and my mom has probably thousands of dollars worth of record that were left with her a long time ago, all the records were owned by a DJ so I have an insane collection at my disposal I’ve been sitting on for a while now. Decided to buy an actual quality record player instead of the garbage $40 one I had (which I never even used). Paired with an old pair of bose computer sound system (sub woofer + two speakers) and its like im hearing some of these records for the first time again. I think as long as you have a decent pair of speakers at your disposal or even a good pair of headphones you will throughly enjoy this record player!

You are supposed to rotate the turntable 10 times by hand after installing to set the gear mechanism before playing a disc...why dont you read the manual first.

Good review. Thanks. I was about to buy this unit but now reconsidering. My current turntable I picked up used, real cheap, at a thrift shop. It works well as far as I know. But a few months ago the clasp that secures the tone arm snapped off and it’s been driving me crazy enough to where I finally decided to buy a brand new turntable. This seemed decent quality, great value for the money… and I may still get it… but you mentioned the lack of a tone arm clasp and so now I’m leaning the other way. Silly reason I know, but what can I say, it bugs me lol

[@seltaeb9691]

I've bought one, & the clasp is an oversight but just keep the twist thing & when finished playing use the twist to tie it secure. It's not major, just be careful & that's a good thing.

Love this turntable, cant agree more with the “safety” wanted. I just destroyed one of my needles trying to adjust the top part and bumped the machine, put the needle down on the felt and that was the end of that needle :(

[@seltaeb9691]

All I did was use the tie twist to secure it after each use. Then when the tie twist is wore out then just use another one. You can buy a reel of them & they will last a good long while. The clasp is an oversight but it's not a big deal & easily solved like mine. I knew this when I bought it, it was best quality at great price & no fuss. These audiophile tone arm weights are not worth it. Fully auto is best way.

Hello. Planning to buy one next week and I just want to clarify something. It says on the pdf manual that I downloaded that the power supply requirements is ranging from 110-240V 50/60Hz, the AC adapter 12v. When I was looking for a turntable at our local stores that sell used/older ones, most of them only supports 110v. Here in our country, 220v is more common and standard power outlets in our homes. Do I still need to buy a transformer to convert the power to 110v? Or the turntable and the AC adapter it comes with can already handle both 110v and 220v? Thank you!

1. What do you mean "how is important"? You plug it to the socket and then it works. If you're asking about the power then the turntable itself (without speakers) eats 3 Watts from your electricity bill. 2. The cartridge is fixed but you can change the stylus/needle so it isn't that much of a problem.
