Sound: I bought this turntable to replace my Audio Technica AT-LP50, bought 3 years ago which I put back as a spare. The "60" sounds identical....which is pristine(as in 20-20K flat frequency response, no rumble or other noise)! You can spend $500 on a turntable and not hear any better results! The "60" has a clear plastic dust cover which I like better than the tinted cover of the "50". My only complaint: the 60 has a cheap porous(as in holes in it) platter mat where the 50 has a solid rubber mat. The older solid rubber mat will not allow debris to fall into the table's mechanism. The AT-LP60's mat will. Borrow another platter mat. Other than that, this is a fine turntable for digitalizing your LP collection. I reccomend it for ANYONE who wants to explore vinyl. The controls/mechanism are the same as the previous "50" model and work great. A fine product and actually looks cooler than the 50. If you buy one, go ahead and order a replacement stylus with it and store it. I stick with what I know works, and AT turntables work, even if you spend less than $100. These turntables may track at around 3-4 grams compared to the vintage tables at 0.75(or less) grams, but IMO that is better for today's aging records and not harmful in any way. Feature: It comes with all needed cables to connect to PC line in or any other line level or phono level input. And a 45rpm record adapter. Ease of Use: This is a very user friendly product and can be set up in minutes. The sound is pristine. The manual is very clear. Quality: I have no worries that it will last for at least 3-5 years. My only complaint is the cheap platter mat, a minor issue and can be replaced. Value: This is the bar-none best turntable on the market for the money. The quality to price ratio on this is extremely high. Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with them. No issues. The Wow Factor: It is a very sexy turntable. The turntables of old looked totally masculine with controls(antiskating, etc) to clutter them up. This is a marvel of simplicity to appeal to Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus. Overall: If I replace this product, it will be with the same item, or it's "next generation" AT turntable. I have decided to stick with this manufacturer forever.

Sound: I've hooked my turntable up to my Fast Track Pro; with the right adjustments it comes out crystal clear, records perfectly with no feedback, clicks, or pops. Feature: The ability to switch from phono to line is nice. The turntable doesn't have anything that'll "WOW" you as far as features go, but it gets the job done and is simple to use. Ease of Use: As I just said, it's easy to use. Setup was a cinch. Five steps to set it up and you're ready to rock. Quality: I mean, you get what you pay for. I was shopping for a beginner's turntable and it seems to fit the bill. Audio Technica makes some great stuff for reasonable prices, and this turntable is no different. I probably wouldn't "take it on the road" with me, but I think as a household turntable, I bet anybody who is good at taking care of their equipment can get several years of good use out of it. Value: It's a basic turntable with great sound quality; unless you want something to scratch with, which will probably run you AT LEAST twice as much (especially DD tables), this is as good as an entry level table gets. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any problems yet, and I hope I don't have to. I will say that when I've had tech problems with my Audio Technica gear before, their support was easy to reach and friendly. The Wow Factor: Not very sexy, but a good get for a beginner. Overall: I hope to get solid use from this turntable for 1-2 years (at least a year).

Sound: Like any audio device, the sound is only as good as the weakest link. Since I only use this product through my computer, well, there is the weakest link. It performs as I expected, and with the free Audacity software download, I can convert my vinyl to digital format. The discs sound great in my stereo, so I rate the device as very good. Ease of Use: No problems setting it up. Just plug into line in and play. Value: It was certainly worth it to me. It does everything I wanted it to do. Manufacturer Support: No issues, no contact with the manufacturer. The Wow Factor: Basic practical unit. Overall: I expect this will be the last turntable I ever buy.

Sound: Good sound IF you don't have a sub, then it will feed back through if you are not careful. I had to move up to a heavier table. For bookshelf speakers it would be fine. Feature: Lots of nice features for entry level, auto start and stop, but no tracking or anything Ease of Use: Very easy to use Quality: Its kinda on the cheap plastic side, but what do you expect for this price point? Its a great deal. Value: This thing is priced great, no arguing that Manufacturer Support: Didn't need AT support, but Zzounds was great The Wow Factor: Not real sexy, but what do you want for this price? Overall: I had to return it and upgrade, couldn't handle my speakers

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
