audio-technica LP60XUSB Black

If you're looking so a turntable to slot into an existing speaker setup then this is basically ideal.The cartridge is very cromulent for under £200 and honestly you won't find better in this price range. If you're a hobbyist audiophile then you may find a lack of things to tinker with, but for everyone else this is a fantastic bit of kit and it works out of the box.The internal amp doesn't hum at all but if you already have a pre-amp you're partial to then you can turn off the internal pre-amp. The automatic start/stop is flawless and the controls are literally as simple as possible with a start button, a stop button and a stylus lift button for selecting individual tracks. I've seen some reviews concerned with the plastic construction, but the platter is metal and weighted well so having the body made of plastic isn't a real concern - it's what allows the price to be what it is!Great device, no complaints.

Great sound, good quality MM cartridge and fully automatic too. this unit also outputs to a computer via USB so you can digitise your precious vinyl too. It has the advantage over most budget turntables that it very compact being barely bigger than a 12" disc.

I bought this as a replacement for one of those suitcase record players (which was terrible, by the way, never buy one of them). For the price, my expectations were modest, however, I have been very pleasantly surprised. I never normally write reviews for products unprompted, but I was moved to for this. I love that it has automatic stop/start and damped arm lowering, the sound quality is very good, the build quality is very good. For the price you can't beat it. Just be aware there are actually three variants of this product - one with analogue out only, one with analogue+USB, and one with analogue+Bluetooth - just make sure you get the right one for you.

Recently set up the spare room as a music room, rescued my hifi separate's system from its retirement shelf in the living room,powered it up and shock horror my Technic's turntable of 20 years plus had died. Didnt want any of these new fancy blue tooth this,built in speakers that,saw this ,just a straight forward turntable that plugs into my amp,so read the reviews and took the plunge.Excellent value for money, works straight out the box,hooks up easily and sounds superb.

A great quality turntable for the price. Connects nicely to an amp to bring the records to life. The auto start and end are nice features, as well as the USB.I shopped around for ages and I'm really pleased I found this one.

This is a huge step up from my suitcase style turntable that reignited my interest in vinyl. Great fidelity, simple to use and automated so no damage to record or player at the end of a side. I’ve found the USB feature really good: used with Audacity I can record some of the unique records I have and share them plus being able to record my parents (and grandparents) 45s is a great thing to do. Is it audiophile quality? No. Is it great build quality? No. But it is solid and will tide me over whilst I build a better, bigger setup! Finally, the built in preamp is a fantastic feature meaning you can jack it into anything that will take a aux input.

arrived on time, well packed, in good condition, sounds great, looks great good value well pleased.

this is an incredible turntable. the sound is perfect, it looks great, the buttons and switches are so satisfying to press. for the past few years ive been stuck with an Akai record player, I always knew It was a dismal player but I never appreciated how dismal until now. my records sound...good! its a little on the pricey side but well worth it, as it'll most likely last me my life. a few things of note however before you purchase it... there is no 10" setting, only 12 and 7". not that big of a deal as it still works fine, it just loses the automatic capabilities, so if your collection consists of mainly non- 12 or 7" records id consider another turntable. also - and this one might be the dealbreaker for some, the player doesn't support any rpm other than 45 or 33.this won't effect 95% of people as nearly if not all modern records play at 33or 45, but some older style records may not be able to be played. its strange that they didnt include this when even the most basic and cheapest turntables support 74rpm - the old horrible Akai did.
