just bought one today and im so dang happy to finally have a turntable that doesn't skip all my records 😁

[@micaelasepulveda8691]

Hey! can you help me. I need to know if you have a cheap turntable (like a crosley or something like that) and it skips your records and then change it to an audio technica. I want to know, if the vinyl will keep skipping?

[@fedlad]

Yeah, getting one for that reason

the arm drops much slower than the original LP60. That is a great improvement.

[@barrybennett9563]

Love this turntable. One feature that is very pleasing is that when it stops the turntable returns to its original position. So the mat stays straight and the record label finishes the right way up (if you place it that way). Great for my OCD!

[@dg8522]

I never knew it did that but makes sense why it always spins for so long after it resets the arm, thanks for the info.

[@isaac_smith]

I think it might have just been a coincidence. For me it never stops in the same place.

[@j.paulpurdell6110]

Very interesting comment. In all the time I have utilized the LP5 x, I have never noticed that but that does make sense.

[@j.paulpurdell6110]

Perfect video! I've just bought one online and I'm so anxious waiting for.

Correction: You CAN play 10 inch records on this, it just doesn't support the "Start" button as the needle won't drop at the beginning of the record. You have to make sure the needle is up, manually move it to the beginning of the record/song, and then lower the needle via the button. A bit more work, but it works perfectly.

[@johnb2422]

I heard this too. I want to get this. So it can start semi auto if you move the needle and it stays up and then you press start, it doesn't just fall down onto the record?

[@absolutebanjo4533]

@@johnb2422 there’s a needle up and down button, make sure the needle is up and move it to whereever you want to start it.

[@JR0dM]

Or you can just lift the tone arm and place it wherever you want. The record will start spinning automatically…. No need to press any buttons.

Great video! I've been researching this table as a Christmas gift for my 14 year old daughter, who I'm trying to get into vinyl. I'm fairly convinced this is the most economical vs quality turntable at a starter price point. Certainly lightyears better than a Crosley Cruiser. I love how this is automatic as well, as 14 year olds aren't known for being gentle on electronics. lol

[@Recordology]

This would be my pick as well...

[@seltaeb9691]

It's not a 'starter point' or 'entry level' thing, it's an excellent record player & if your ears like it, then that's all that matters. Too much audiophile snobbery goes on in this audio world. Now, buying a good amp does matter & that can make a difference, but a good price is a good price & if you enjoy listening to it's sound, then have a quiet laugh at the audiophiles spending 1,000s on crazy turntables.

[@darlenegoodwin6467]

I HAVE THIS TURNTABLE SINCE APRIL 23RD 2020. I BOUGHT IT AT MICROCENTER IN BROOKLYN NY. I LOVE THIS TURNTABLE AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

Amazing video, It shows every function and it answered my biggest question and concern: If It plays just like the original song or is recommended to get a sound adjusting pitch?

Hi there, I was wondering if there were any small speakers that would pair well with this turntable that you recommend. Unfortunately I live in a small apartment where space is very limited. Also, I was thinking of buying a pair Edifier R1280T with the turntable, thoughts?

[@jeffmissinne3866]

I'm pleased to hear you like this turntable, as I recently bought one. I just finished watching a video that proclaimed this unit to be a piece of garbage that should be discarded immediately. They claim the tone arm will grow heavier and heavier over time until it will finally destroy your records after four or five plays, which sounds like sixties stoner shit to me (remember "wet playing" or the theory that the stylus raises the temperature of the vinyl at the contact point to 1400 degrees or something like that?) Thanks for assuring me that I'm not a complete idiot. Hope you can find time to reply.

[@chrisbomber101]

I have the blue tooth version coming tomorrow, my First two LPs are Nirvana Unplugged And Amy Whinehouse Back To Black, looks like its going to be an awesome cheap but good sounding player 👍

[@bri_bear92]

I got my ATLP60X at Best Buy for $79 about a week ago...yay Black on Black. The only problem so far is a slight tapping noise (ever so slight) when the tonearm is at the end of playing an LP or 45. I believe it is the return mechanism waiting to "catch" the tonearm for its auto return. It doesn't affect playback performance.

[@Recordology]

Hmmm haven't heard of that before...

[@bri_bear92]

@@Recordology it's very hard to distinguish, and one wouldn't notice if the music is playing. You'd have to mute the sound. I may have to return the turntable. I updated from a modified version of the ATLP60 in 2004. The tonearm didn't align correctly any longer. Pitch was way off, sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks

[@fdkoetz]

Hey! great video! But I can't help notice the buzz sound at 10:49 when you touched the spindle. Well, I know for sure it's about the ground thing. Of course you shouldn't keep touching parts of the turntable while it's playing but this kind of thing is a big concern in sound matters. I had some issues with ground in my system, it's all solved now by the way. My question is: there is a ground link between the cartridge and the output conection and how it pass through the pre amp?

[@Recordology]

It was a bad mic I was using.....no fault of the turntable.

[@kevinhughes3779]

The ATLP60 is very similar to my aiwa pxe850. The part that houses the needle came off when I was changing the needle. I dont think it's supposed to do that 😢

[@samdoman7008]

Hi, Loved the video. I'm looking into purchasing this particular turntable. I was wondering how consistant the speed is and if I would need to do any speed adjustments out of the box? This will end up being my first turntable.

[@bg1409]

Just bought this for my daughter as her first introduction turntables. It plays great, seems accurate in my opinion regarding its speed. We listened to several records of different genres and did not hear any inconsistencies. I did not use a strobe disc though to check this did not feel like it was required. I don’t believe there’s a adjustment function on this model to fine tune the speed level unlike my Music Hall mmf-1.5

Hi @record-ology, I hope you still read comments on these old videos and can help me out! I'm looking to get my feet wet in the turntable world and I'm stuck between the AT-LP60XBT (~$219 currently) or the AT-LP3XBT (~$300 currently) -- I know you've reviewed both. I'm curious which you'd recommend as a first time buyer. From what I've read, the base board is relatively the same on each, just with some upgraded accessories (cart, stylus, head, weight adjustment, etc.). Is the sound quality drastically different? Is it worth the $80 for a first time buyer? For added context, I likely wouldn't do any additional upgrades for years. Hope ya see it, thanks!!
