Pretty sure the Dark Knight himself started his vinyl journey with an AT LP60 as well.

[@gregtrammell6624]

The AT LP 60 was the table I brought when I decided to get back into vinyl, and it served me exceptionally well. I have since given it to my daughter who has developed love for vinyl. KNIGHT.

[@johnstump2433]

I was watching this review last KNIGHT and found it informative like all of your videos since you started your channel.. And on a personal note, I commend you on your compassion for your fellow man as you were helping those people in desperate need during the flood.

[@butterfingersmcmicky991]

A KNIGHT in shining armor for the entry level LP enthusiast. A great little player that's easy to set up and use. My daughter is now starting to get into Vinyl and I love that we can both share in the enjoyment of discovering new music together as well as rocking out to the classics. Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@veeepool]

Man, I am so thankful for content creators like you. After some time of interest, I just started to dip my toes into analog audio, and it is such a fun hobby. Knight

[@davidcurry8440]

This is a great turntable and highly recommend for anyone getting into vinyl for the first time. As you demonstrated, an easy to use table. I purchased one for my daughter 5 years ago. When I saw she was serious about vinyl I upgraded her to a Fluance RT85 w/acrylic platter. My only criticism of the AT60 is the manual up/down can lose its finesse over time and simply drop down abruptly.

[@justinmetcalfe2669]

The slower you release the button the slower the tonearm lowers. 👍

[@34ylime]

@@justinmetcalfe2669 I can confirm this comment is correct.

[@nop99565]

Yep just replaced mine after 5 years also cause of the same issue.

[@donovantooley8707]

I just got back into collecting vinyl and have an LP 60X I use almost every Knight. Thanks for the video!

[@34ylime]

Excellent and clear cut set up video. The first TT I bought was the original Audio Technica LP60. It was a surprisingly good sounding table for the money. I have since upgraded to a Project Debut Carbon Evo but I still miss the automatic return! Would make a KNIGHT gift for a friend just getting into the hobby. If you have it hooked to a vintage receiver, just switch the line in to the phono setting.

[@tcs792]

Thank you for teaming up with Knight for this promo! Keep the great content coming!

[@AVUM47]

Absolutely loving this channel! Knight want to do some more reviews, they’re fun to watch!

awesome review, this was another one I was looking at for my first table.

[@edwarde5452]

This video was quite informative for beginners. You are easy going, instructional, and approachable. Thank you and good Knight.

[@zeze9062]

thanks for the unboxing and teaching us how to set up, just got mine, shes amazing!!

[@thevinylattack]

I'm glad to hear it.

That's a pretty good step.

[@thevinylattack]

Glad I could help!

[@reddbirdd]

Thanks for the review of this table. Looking forward to checking out vinyl again. I wonder if there is a day and knight difference in sound quality from flac files.

[@TheGirlSkateBoardCo]

Thanks for being our online Knight in vinyl armor! P.S: Hope your basement situation is taken care of!

[@scottbaylor6215]

I love Audio Technica turntables. I have a 120 version purhcased last year and it is awesome. KNIGHT

[@YourBuddyGeo]

This is a great entry level table! Knight I believe I would gift it to my 16 year old Granddaughter, who I have hooked into vinyl records, and so far she is loving it! Gotta keep the future Bright, Knight :-)

[@thevinylattack]

Good luck!

[@Anastasia2048]

Just got this turntable recently and hooked it up to my receiver, really enjoying it so far. Glad I knew enough to not use those all in one turntables. Got one as a gift but never used it in fear of damaging my vinyls.

[@josephpolaster2271]

This was the best way to demonstrate a good entry level way to get hifi sound out of your vinyl. KNIGHT

[@chrisharding6205]

Started with an at 60 and it is great still have it as a secondary player in my girlfriend's sewing room and she picked up the vinyl addiction as well. Still going strong after 5 years only replaced the stylus and a belt so far. Highly recommend for the starter with a low budget.

[@thevinylattack]

Glad to hear it's holding up so well.

This would be great to listen to all the records I picked up at a garage sale last Knight.

[@seanflannery777]

When I got back into vinyl several years ago, (after my basement flooded and ruined my childhood vinyl collection, I know you empathize), my wife got my an LP60. I loved it and, in fact, still use it downstairs. Good sounding and easy to set up and use. The best entry turntable on the market IMO.

[@thevinylattack]

I definitely feel your pain.

It was the knight before Chris's review and all were excited. He was going to review a turntable and give one away too. Chris I always look forward to your videos and learn so much.

[@thevinylattack]

I'm glad to hear that, thank you.

[@AnalogueOctober]

Very important that this end of the market gets the coverage it deserves. I’m always asked what’s a good upgrade from the Crosley, and the AT as well as the similar Sony are my first sub £150 recommendation. Too many channels focus on High end and future-Fi components, so refreshing to see this end of the market covered. Great video. Here’s hoping many a crosley user find this video and do what’s best for them and their records and be their first stepping stone towards releasing more of their Vinyl collections potential. On a side note… we have some new Analogue October Records T shirts and would like to send you one. Question is, what’s yours T shirt size????

[@AnalogueOctober]

I think KZbin is stripping your answers again. I had a notification you commented but it’s gone again.

[@andrewcastro2530]

Enjoying your videos , down to earth. Looking forward to looking what Knight has to offer. Vinyl is my favorite media to listen too. Used records stores are a good place to start from scratch. Was the Columbia record club around when you were growing up? Enjoy your listening!

[@thevinylattack]

Columbia record club was around yes, but I never joined. I was tempted a few times but they just didn't have what I was looking for back then.

[@cave70]

Hello, Have been a subcriber for a while now, and am always glad when you post new vids. You have a nice way about you, and I can tell you are sincere and really love sharing the hobby with others. I bought an LP 60, but it's a model that also has a headphone jack, as I currently don't have speakers. It's right beside my bed and it quite nice. Music fills my Knights and my Days. I"ve bought some really nice reissues and a few original pressings of old favorites. I love vinyl. Keep up the good work. JK

Fantastic review and this information is all new to me. Much appreciated. KNIGHT

[@thevinylattack]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sharkprisoner1909]

I’ve been running the older at-lp60 for over a year now and it’s been great. Far from perfect and I fully understand you can get a far better sound out of a record but for my budget it’s fantastic.

[@thevinylattack]

I think that's key. Everyone has a budget, so finding what works best for you is the idea.

[@signalvideo1]

I saw the Twistin Tarantulas one Knight in Royal Oak. Nice video!

[@revfogle]

A few months ago I set up my 13 year old great-nephew with a setup (I had taken care of his sister a few years ago) that included the LP 60, a Pioneer SX 770, a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 225’s (I had just upgraded to Evo 4.2’s) a Bluetooth receiver of forgotten origin, and about 50-ish records of various genres. My niece -his mother- tells me he uses it all the time. …always happy to share my obsessions….

Our Knight in shining armor in the overwhelming world of the vinyl LP. Personally running a Rega P2 but keeping my options open. The Regas (well maybe not all of them, some at least) don’t have a ground wire and there is noise through the speakers when touching the tone arm, etc. Thanks again

This is a wonderful video that should encourage people to take a step up from the groove grinders. Good Knight.

[@dmCurator]

I was looking for something to play my dad's LP collection from the 70s. Picked up one of these and was up and running in about 10-minutes. Although the materials/build quality doesn't give me a warm/fuzzy, the AT-LP60X adequately served its purpose. There's nothing like vinyl.

[@thevinylattack]

It's definitely an easy table to get up and running.

[@blondebae4884]

I just bought a audio technica LPGO-BT I don’t know if it’s a remake of the 60 but it was so easy to set up literally took 5 mins another turn table I was looking at was the insignia at Best Buy 140.00 bucks comes with counter weights and anti skate mostly good reviews the audio technica doesn’t even come with that but I don’t regret getting it

[@halozfinest88]

Great video man. Knight

[@leon9021]

Nice video. One of the only points I disagree with is that having the lid up will grant better sound. From tests that I know of, to actually make the lid have an impact you need to listen at extreme volumes beyond what most are comfortable with. But even if there is a small effect at normal volume, the tests showed that both lid off and down had their benefits, since off removed more resonance, but lid down also protected from reflected vibrations. The worst was actually lid up since that acts most as a vibration trap.

[@thevinylattack]

I'd imagine that it has much to do with the playing environment and equipment used, but in my experience it sounds better. However, that's just an opinion and others might prefer the sound of the lid down. Thankfully it's easy to test for ones self.

[@leon9021]

@@thevinylattack Well it would be interesting and pretty easy to test too I suppose. Just make recordings of the 3 options and ask participants what they think is what. Id be surprised if they could tell them apart, unless again its at extreme volumes.

[@dustinrue]

I listen in my small office and I found bass fed back into the lid very easily so I remove it entirely when playing anything. I use an lp120x which has a very similar dust cover and hinge design

[@thevinylattack]

@@dustinrue A very common problem in smaller areas when subsonic filtering isn't an option.

[@johndestroyer6173]

My friend recently moved and had to let go of her turntable. I would love to be her KNIGHT in shining vinyl and gift her this turntable!

[@jeremiahchamberlin4499]

Excellent tutorial. I learned what passes for automatic these days. I always think of automatic as putting up to seven albums or as many 45s as could be fitted and playing the whole stack. Double albums used to come with their sides numbered so that you could stack side two above side one; flip both and play side three and side four. Nowadays, side two is on the reverse of one; side four on the reverse of side three- each record must be played individually in order to maintain the sequence. I like your channel for your straight-on delivery, although you talk almost too fast for the ears of this old knight who has spent the last thirty years below the Mason-Dixon Line. 🙂 Edit: One quibble, though, you shouldn’t lump ‘phono input’ in with ‘line’ or ‘aux’ they are designed for different voltage levels. Although another option is ‘tape monitor’ on older integrated amps or receivers. Or perhaps the turntable in question can sense and adapt itself. In either case, some explanation is due, in my opinion. (I know, I’m being as asshole.)

[@thevinylattack]

With this table you can use any of those inputs interchangeably, but I didn't make it as clear as should be that you'd need to select line for everything but a phono input. Thanks.

For someone like me - who mainly buys vinyl as a way of supporting bands and artists as well as just looking cool, this table is perfect for me. Sure, I could invest more money and get a better sounding setup, but I don't need that. I just need something easy to put on every now and then.

[@thevinylattack]

Nothing wrong with that.

[@boglimbonanza7342]

Such a simple and good turntable. KNIGHT

[@dromer1967]

Thanks for this nice review! It's so good for me as a beginner to read a review from someone who doesn't act as a audiophile snob which says don't buy these type of players because they are crap and buy something which is 300-400 dollars more which is rediculous advice for a beginner who doesn't even know if the hobby will stick. So I bought the LP60X to start with :) But a quick question if I might ask. To you advise to use the phono stage on the LP60x or use the one which comes with the receiver. My receiver is a Denon AVR-X1600H and I am using a 2 meter long cable?

[@boristahmasian9604]

Hi Peter, you are absolutely on point. I bought an LP60 for my wife with the same mindset. I went with LP60 to see if it was a passing interest or a real one. I have an Onkyo TX-NR787 and neither the LP60 nor the receiver's preamp gave me a full sound. I ended up buying a DJPre-II preamp and it improved the sound a lot. I am not an expert or snob but I knew something was amiss. I ordered an RT82 and the sound difference is very noticeable. Meanwhile, she has bought two dozen records, far exceeding the cost of the RT82! I think, I have opened a can of worms with no end in sight. Ouch!! With all this said, the main advantage of LP60 is full automation. Listening to an RT82 or any other manual turntable is a much more deliberate exercise and requires constant monitoring to make sure you do not damage the equipment (mainly the stylus).

[@SlambosCarofIdiots]

I will have to check out that Knight Sound website. The LP60x is one that I looked at as an upgrade or supplement to my Garrard SL65 (the motor noise is much louder than I want), I only wish it could also play 78 rpm records.

[@thevinylattack]

The next model up, the AT LP 120 can play 78's if that's in your budget.

[@SlambosCarofIdiots]

That's the one I was looking at, but manufacturing delays and a lack of photo clients this Spring got in the way. The LP140 is comparable without the optional USB connection.
