Questions & Answers

What exactly does it mean to be "fully automatic"?

With the push of a button, a fully automatic turntable will queue and play the record, as well as return the tonearm to its original position when the record is finished.

Does the arm/needle cause the vinyls to be damaged in the same way that the $50 briefcase-style vinyl players do? Is it possible for me to upgrade in the future if necessary?

Vinyl media's performance is degraded by all turntables. The slower the degradation, the better the counterbalance of the tonearm's weight. The direct contact of the stylus with the grooves in the disk is abrasive; a heavy tonearm is equivalent to 100 grit sandpaper, while a light tonearm is equivalent to 600 grit sandpaper. All of my LPs are taped or burned to CD. In decades, most of my LPs have only been played two or three times. My collection remains pristine thanks to limited use and proper storage.

Is the needle on the record one ounce or does it kill the record?

I'm not sure how heavy the needle was, but this record player ruined my three records.

What's the difference between a lp60xbt- and a lp60xbt-? lp60bk-bk and bk-bk-bk-bk-bk-bk-bk ?

The "X" line is the most recent addition to the Audio-Technica product line. Turntables made by Technica. br>br>The LP60X is a new version of the AT-X. The ATLP60X has a redesigned tonearm base and headshell that improves tracking and reduces resonance compared to the LP60. The addition of an AC adapter reduces noise even more by moving the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis, where it has a minimal impact on the signal chain.

Selected User Reviews For Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black, Hi-Fi, 2 Speed, Dust Cover, Anti-Resonance, Die-Cast Aluminum Platter

Beautiful and budget-friendly Please take note of this
5/5

This turntable is very inexpensive, and I would highly recommend it to new collectors who don't want to spend a lot of money. I've had no problems with it so far, and it's a great improvement over the little suitcase turntable I started with. br>IMPORTANT NOTE for those who aren't super tech-savvy: devoted to vinyl or new to the scene: You CANNOT simply buy a record player and listen to records on it. You absolutely must purchase a set of speakers. If your speakers are passive (not active), you'll also need an amplifier and speaker wire; the ATLP60 includes one of the speaker cables, but you'll need to purchase the rest separately. I had to do a lot of research to figure this out; for some reason, no one ever tells you this. Thankfully, I had a friend who is also a vinyl collector who was able to assist me in figuring everything out and purchasing the necessary parts. I hope this information is useful to anyone looking to purchase their first turntable.

Excellent Turntable for Beginners - UPDATE
3/5

This is Audio Technia's newer improved LP60 turntable, and it's a great value for the money. Setup was simple enough after watching a YouTube video, and it looks and sounds great. I did have a problem with one record starting about 1 second in, but I believe that record is faulty rather than the player, as all of my other records have played perfectly. Sound quality is excellent, with no issues. Vinyl has an unrivaled sound. br>br>I highly recommend this turntable to anyone interested in getting started with vinyl, as I did. It is the best place to start and, with proper care and maintenance, will last for many years. br>br>UPDATE: 3 STARS UPDATED: After a week of owning and using this turntable for a few hours each day, I've discovered that it's out of sync far too frequently. The tonearm will begin at 1 o'clock. When pressing start on auto, it's 10 seconds into the song. Thankfully, I found a semi-useful solution on Reddit:br>br>"If for some reason the automatic mechanism becomes out of sync, for example if it does not drop at the correct position, you can re-synchronize it. " Press the stop button on the turntable, hold the tonearm with your fingers, and turn the platter 10 times clockwise. When I was transporting my record player, I experienced this. Inside the car, I'm guessing it moved a lot. It was, however, a simple problem to resolve. "br>br>I'll have to try it a few different ways because it's not completely clear, but I've been able to fix the sync issue twice in the week I've had it. " That review was for the first-generation LP60, but it clearly applies to the second-generation LP60X as well. I don't want to go through the trouble of returning the unit only to discover that the problem is still present on the replacement. I'll keep trying this sync fix method, but if it becomes too much of a hassle, I'll look for a different brand of turntable because this is simply unacceptable. br>br>THE THIRD UPDATED VERSION - 1 STARbr>br>Received a replacement turntable, which has the same issues as the original. The thicker 180 gram vinyl appears to have a little more width, causing the predetermined auto start tonearm position to begin 1-. This is extremely disappointing; yes, you can manually start and lower the tonearm into position, depending on the record, but this defeats the tonearm's primary advertised purpose. The LP90X isn't ready for prime time, and I'm sure Audio Technica is going to get a lot of complaints about it. A complete recall should be made available. I'm going to return mine for a refund and try the LP60, which is now obsolete.

What
3/5

How much does it cost? ***An issue has arisen. fixed! ****Nope, the skipping continues! Just add Miles Davis' Kind of Blue to the mix. A 180- recording in grams There are no issues with this format. As a result, I'm not sure what the other comments are about. br>br>I have this exact album (Miles) on CD, and I was noticing things that I had never heard before. I had forgotten how lovely LP records are to listen to. This was a gift to myself for my birthday. It appealed to me as being cool and retro. When CDs were released, I gave my LPs away. I despise skips, pops, and noise, but I believe I was a little too quick to label them as such. There is a clear tradeoff, in my opinion - Choosing between convenience and fidelity is a difficult decision. This album evokes the sensation of soaking in a hot tub. Just unwinding and feeling good. immersive!br>br>I also believe that turntables have diminishing returns. The sound of this turntable is incredible! I can't imagine paying two to ten times as much for two to ten times the sound quality! br>br>I used it with Micca RB42 speakers and a cheap amplifier (you'll need an amplifier or powered speakers!). ) OMG, it sounds like I spent tens of thousands of dollars on a high-end computer. stereo system of the highest quality! If you can, get your hands on a pair of Micca RB42s before they're gone! ***OK, it started skipping on the first track of even new albums, so I went to the forums and learned that the most important thing to do with this turntable is to level it, so I got out my level and discovered I was off by a fraction. One and a half turns of one record stand leg was all it took to get it to stop skipping. YOUR DECK MUST BE LEVELED! br>br>**** Update: the first track of every LP is still being skipped! Regardless of whether it is new or old, I can see why you'd like to upgrade your turntable. There is no way to skip ahead. After the first minute of the first track, it's almost as if the tone arm has a problem. There are no skips on any of the other tracks on my new LPs. The tracks are perfectly fine for the first minute, then SKIP! So far, he's appeared on three different albums. Returning the turntable and replacing it with a higher-end model. What a letdown! It sounds fantastic!.

It isn't already dead when you get there - Make sure the belt is properly connected! This turntable is new to me, but it's already performing admirably
5/5

At first, I assumed we were experiencing the same problem as others who had left reviews - a dead- Turntable for arrivals The belt connection instructions show how it should sit on the drive pin, but they don't show where the drive pin is. My guess is that those who receive "dead" turntables are connecting the belt to the incorrect pin. Take a look at the image below. It is a common blunder.
