Audio Technica LP60X Turntable Detailed Review, Unboxing, & Test 

Nice to see Charlie Sheen doing well.

Just picked one up this afternoon (the silver version) So far, it's plays perfectly. Sounds great through my home theatre. I'm diggin' it, though my wife hates it, as it means the beginning to a new hobby, lol

As soon as the banjo started playing I immediately bought this.

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.

I got the LP60, the older model, back in 2013. Still plays records perfectly.

Hi, I really enjoyed your review on the AT PL 60X. I actually bought this turntable just under 3 weeks ago. I went on RU-vid 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 just bought this turntable for my 14 year old daughter for Christmas. I think it has the perfect amount of features vs price point for someone just getting started. Obviously it's not a stellar table, and there are better ones out there for more money. But for me just getting my daughter into the hobby it's the perfect starting point. We can always upgrade her to something nicer a year or two down the line if she finds she really likes the hobby.

just going to save you some time: you don't get to her it play

Just placed order today on amazon for this stereo, thanks you for review, can’t wait

You are supposed to leave the ribbon on to help with the belt installation. Slide the ribbon off once you have the belt around the pulley.

Had an extensive record collection. With much regret, I needed to give everything up, when moving from NYC to AZ. I miss my vinyl. 😢🎶

Just got mine today, kinda excited on this world I'm venturing to.

Thank you for this good review ! I just bought it, it is a very good little turntable for the price, I am very satisfied.

Great review! Really helped me out making a decision on which turntable I will be getting. Going to pick one up this week! You earned yourself a sub👍

Thank You for this informative review. Excellent coverage of the info that a "listening-ophile" needs to know. I'm now a subscriber.

Happy AT-LP120 user here! Sounds great with different cartridge and a thick rubber mat :-)

Just got mine in the mail today! I'm glad to see that i chose a good product

You deserve more subs and views. All your videos are amazing.

Great review, I just ordered one yesterday. Rock on 🤘🤘

Great review! Just ordered mine

Great 👍 review Sir ! I have been into vinyl from the 70s, I just purchased the AT LP60 to replace my old Pioneer turntable with packed on me . I am really looking forward playing my records on the Audio Technica and my Project Carbon Evo .

Thank you. It's Dec 29 2022, just got mine and really needed your instructions.

Thank you. This is still helping people.

Just got this for Christmas, looks & plays nice for someone who recently got into playing records. Got the Edifier R1280T Bookshelf Speakers to go along with it and it's a good setup.

I ordered a CDs from a favorite artists of mine and after shipping I noticed it was a vinyl so I bought myself one of these and I'm happy I finally have a turntable thanks ❤

Just bought this. Works great 👍 Thanks for the video

HI nice review,i have had the LP60 for a few years and it is a very good entry level tt but this one looks great and seems to be an upgrade i will have to check it out further! Thanks

I got this and some Edifier r1280db speakers for a Christmas gift. Can’t wait to set it up.

Very thorough review and setup walkthrough. Well done.

A real life saver video!!! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much! Was struggle to setup! Thanks I didn’t break it now haha

Just picked up the LP60X on Amazon for 90! Thanks for the info, it helped a lot

Bought this today and I’m in love with it.

Your vibe was fun to watch😄 I have a crossley (yes I know record scratch) looking to pick a player that won't damage my vintage vinyl and can hear well with without breaking the bank. I'm pretty satisfiable with sound as long as it's better then the crossley 😅

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!

Finding it really hard to decide on a record player but everywhere I go this one is recommended as a decent beginner level

Great review!

oh my god i love this man

thank you this video helped me.

Thank you! Very helpful

I thought you were going to play this beautiful LP by The White Stripes man! Nice video, thanks for review

Great review. He is Scotty of the music word.

Yeah I just picked it up at my local Barns & Noble. I have to get a couple speakers for it. Can't wait to play Sum Whites Stripe's - "Icky Thump" on it. I got the Black o.g. version.

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!

Just picked this up as my first turntable a couple days ago

Watched the video once for the review. Watched it twice cuz I like his overall vibe.

Amazing! Thank you!

Just ordered mine, its coming with the maple wood speakers, cannot wait!

Actually just purchased the same setup! From the LP60x to the gold trimmed speakers!

Nice review. But I want to know if the needle have less weight than the "case like" turntables, 'cause I know they usally have a weight in the needle than can scratch your vinyls, but I don't see something too diferent in the needle of this turntable. I must to be wrong, that's why I am asking. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to getting mine very soon. £99 too. Should sound better than my old radiogram.

I just bought a vintage kenwood 5 piece stereo system. Gonna add this to play LPS. Old vintage turntables are too expensive. So i would add this one

Nice demo. However, I waiting for the demonstration showing the 'Auto Return'. When the record finishes does the arm auto-return?

Great video! quick question, do i have to purchase a stereo receiver or can i just use the speakers alone?

i just got it and thanks for this

my grandmother got me one as a gift! but i havent been able to use it since i dont have speakers, do you have any reccomendations for "beginner" speakers? love the video!!

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

I'm thinking about getting one. I have a nice stereo in the garage and I wonder if it will hook up to that? Not sure on what kind of speakers I would need.

Mine is coming in tomorrow, very excited!

Thank you very much!

Hi I’m BRAND new to turntables and very in the dark! Loved your review - thank you for that! I have a bose speaker with Bluetooth connection etc - if I were to buy the Lp60xBT Bluetooth turn table would the sound come through the bose ok? What would be the difference between just playing the same song through the bose speaker from my phone? Hopefully you know the answer Thanks 😊

Hi, I've just purchased this turntable in Mexico and I would like to know if you would recommend a decent pair of speakers. I was told Edifier R1700 bt are suitable for it, but there are two versions. Both have RCA input but I would like to get the right thing.

Mine arrives this monday!

Great video!!

My Christmas present 😊

wow THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I set mine up and it wouldn't work no matter what I tried!! All it took was for me to watch this video to figure out I had the belt wrapped around the wrong little knob (the white one instead of the GOLD one, which you emphasized in this video). How was I supposed to know that?? The instructions did not make that clear at all. Now it works perfect as soon as i fixed it.

New to the game and pick this up, works great.

Great video, thanks for sharing

so i want to get a record player but i’m not sure i’m gonna stick with it forever so should i buy this $100 one or should i buy the victoria or crosley ones?

No sound test - even after he says “let’s go on and check out sound” Total waste of time.

Thinking about getting this for my stepdaughter for Christmas what are some decent quality budget speakers to pair this with? I've never had a turntable myself so I'm kind of lost.

Hi, i love your video theres so much information about it, i just bought this turn table yesterday and i want to know can i just put the stylus manually? Or its just all automatic?

The Scotty Kilmer of Audio👍👍

My budget is maybe 200 or 300. Is there any recommendations for something thats gonna blow this away or am i just as well suited getting this? I got victrola v65 as an beginner. Is there going to be a noticeable sound quality difference between that and this?

This one is better than those suitcase ones ? I have one of suitcase style and I want to upgrade and don’t want to spend much

I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP60X turntable hooked up to my Sony STR-DN1080 receiver to the CD input, since this receiver doesn't have a photo input, and the turntable set to line. Using this setup my subwoofer keeps cutting out. Is this because of the turntable built in preamp not being the best? Do I need to buy an external preamp to solve this issue?

Hey nice review, What's the name of the song of the closeups? I'm not a country fan but I really liked that guitar

Great video 👍🏻

Nice and Practice vid man coolll thks

Do you have to adjust it every time you play a vynil ? And also mine came with a silicone platter what am I supposed to do with it?

Thanks for the good review. I will go for the LP60X USB so I can record some discs. Quick question what is the Banjo tune during the close ups??! Thanks

Great video! I love how there is no extra talk and no music while you're talking. This is a proper unboxing/testing video. Imma get one thanks to you. +1 Subscribe

If I can get the same price for both Audio Technica LP60X-BT and Sony PS-LX310BT, which one would you go for?

Can you adjust the volume on the turntable when listening through headphones? And is it Bluetooth at all?

Is the logitech z200 a gd speaker for it? i rlly dont know what kind of speaker to get, i want a small speaker tho not too big

When playing a record, should you leave the slipmat on?

I got my AT-LP60X for a six months the sound is ok I’m enjoying the world of LP records but I notes that the sound coming from av receiver is weak ! Not better or even same with the sound that coming from my CD player that connected with same av receiver. Anyway I still love my LP record and my new LP collection hoppy. Please gave me your recommendations.

Do you have to get speakers for it? Just ordered mine.

3:50 *Cowboy music starts playing* 😂 Also, nice cowboy accent you've got there, proud to be from the south? 😉 As a Dutch guy, it's funny to watch American videos like this, because I live next to Great-Britain (Irish accent also sounds funny to me).

Hi I’m a starter. What kind of speakers do you recommend for a turntable that’s under $100?

I have a BIC series z, but I think my amp has become rusty after ten years in storage, so I'm thinking of getting a whole new set up. This seems to be the business (especially because I need to finally pay some decent money for headphones lol).

I was very ready to hear the sound of this TB but then it didn't happen 😞. Good review though. I'll probably buy one as a vinyl beginner

I’ve not laughed so much in a review in a long time. Reviewer reminded me of a 90’s college comedy where the undercover cop is trying to blend in with the school kids by imitating the lingo/jargon of the current lexicon! Don’t get me wrong, the review is pretty good, but the presentation style is hysterically cringeworthy. Count me in as a subscriber!!! If there are more like this it is sure to cheer me up!

looking to buy this starter table to hook up into my old Yamaha stereo. Was just left a nice old record collection so its time to buy a player and speakers. Looking to buy bookshelf "Klipsch" the record collection has "Bob Dylan, Stones, Judy collins, THE BAND AND TOS OF OTHERS

I have a marshall acton 3 speaker to pair via bluetooth with this turntable, what do you choose phono or line?

Does this play out of the player itself too or only if you hook up speakers

the red "tape" is a ribbon used to make it easier to attach the belt

I was looking at getting a speaker which I can plug into the record player but not sure which ones would be compatible? Not looking for anything to expensive so if you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated!

I love your back ground music. Could you please tell me what's the title of it? Thanks.

I found one of these in the dumpster behind Barnes and nobles. All that was wrong was they didn't install belt lol
