"Audio-Technica ATLP60 Belt-Drive Turntable"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Just like all the ratings say this is the best turntable money can buy unless you feel like spending over $300. This is my second turntable, but first of this brand and I was amazed by how great the sound quality is. The arm is automatic, which is a feature I really enjoy. There is some minor setup required (attaching the belt & slip mat), which is super simple and if you can't figure it out Audio Technica has how to videos on youtube. If you are thinking about buying a turntable I would definitely consider the LP-60. It also shipped fast in very durable packaging.

"The best turntable to digitalize your LP collection is Audio Technica."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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 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.
Features
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.

"A good, reliable entry level turntable."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I hope to get solid use from this turntable for 1-2 years (at least a year).
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.
Features
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.

"Great starter turntable"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This turntable works out fairly well given it costs relatively the same as turntables that perform much more poorly. I am convinced that it sounds just the same as the more expensive atlp120. I have this hooked up to a Behringer minigraphic eq and it sounds pretty good through my mid-grade sony sound bar with subwoofer. Its not a perfect audiophile setup, but it has a lot of value for entry level enthusiasts. I am convinced you won't get a better experience without spending at least $500.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Since buying this I have realized what I've been missing out on. Vinyls have become a preferred method for listening to music because it has a more personal connection. The only downside of this product is having to buy speakers separately, but you'll be happy you went with this product. I love that the arm automatically places itself onto the record simply by pressing "Start." This is VERY user friendly and I plan on buying it again for my secondary apartment!

After much shopping around and comparing many different starter turntables, I chose the Audio Technica AT-LP60 Turntable. The price was right and it has performed fabulously, including playing some old and not well cared for LPs. It is simple to operate and I like that it has it's own amp built in so that you can hook it up to self-powered speakers when a stereo system is not available. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase.

"Great Turntable For Little $'s"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I grew up in the vinyl/cassette era and when CD's took the world's ear by storm, I jumped ship on my extensive collection of albums. HUGE mistake. Funny how things travel in a circle - so now I am using my CD collection as a reference for my vinyl purchases. I bought the Audio Technica AT-LP60 since I have always used AT turntables. Out of the box, the sound quality was good, but it didn't have the depth I remembered from long ago. Even though it has a built-in preamp, I purchased the Pyle PRO PP999 phono preamp ($26.00) and now I hear music the way it was intended to be enjoyed. For the price, you cannot beat the phonic experience, and the money you save can go to increasing your vinyl library. If you are new to the turntable world, this is the first purchase you should make.

Decent for reasonable play. There is rumble if you walk into the room if the floor is sensitive to stepping around where you place it. Good value for the money. Ready to go with cartridge, preamp, and necessary cords.

I had an issue with my prior AT LP60 that I had ordered in which it simply didn't work. I called and spoke to several employees who were very kind, and timely in their replacement with a working unit. I hate to say that I had my doubts when reading about Zzounds, but this was a solid first experience.

I had to return it and upgrade, couldn't handle my speakers
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.
Features
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

Not real sexy, but what do you want for this price?

Was very pleased with the quickness of the delivery. It was well packed and was very easy to assemble.it was very easy to hook it up to my old stereo. The sound was overwhelming. I enjoy listening to all my old records. They even sound very good with the new turn table. I would give it a five star rating overall.Eliminate the incorrect stars.

"Does the jobe for a fair price."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I expect this will be the last turntable I ever buy.
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.
