I've got an old record collection that I've been wanting to play again but I wasn't up on the newer turntable technology. I'm a video producer so I'm familiar with Audio Technica microphones and took a gamble on the AT LP 60XBT turntable and couldn't be happier. Set up was so easy I didn't need the instructions. I just paired it with my Bose speakers and heard the deep luscious sounds of vinyl beaming from the 50s, 60s and 70s tunes. The AT LP 60XBT has a small footprint and fits in my record cabinet well. The cushioned feet help keeps possible bumps from damaging my records. If you're researching, do look for this feature, it's worth the added price. And since they are old, some of my records are scratched and skip or get hung up in spots and all I have to do is gently press a finger on the turntable's arm to get it to continue on. (Like in the old days!) I didn't care for the look of the suitcase turntables and from reviews I noticed users didn't like them because their lids didn't fully cover the record. This is important to note because besides your records, you don't want dust to get into your turntable or needle. For the price, this is an excellent starter turntable. The only thing I wish is that it had some sort of "stop gap" mechanism to prevent the arm from operating when there isn't a record on the turntable. My grandson is fascinated with the turntable and keeps turning it on to play! When there's no record on the turntable the arm will still automatically activate when the "start" button is pressed and the needle drags across the turntable as if it's playing a record. But I don't think any turntable has this option, although some do have a latch to lock over the arm.

This is an excellent turntable. It is easy to put together, is very light weight but does not feel cheap. It connects via bluetooth to your speaker(s) although may take a minute to connect. It can play all of your vinyls LP’s—45, 33 1/3 and 78 rpms. On the left is a button for 78’s. There is a disk for 45’s center hole. on the right is start, stop and to raise or lower the playing arm. The needle is a diamond needle which I trust will last a long time. The lid closes while playing LP’s, keeping dust out. The bluetooth button is on the left. When pressed it flashes blue until connecting. If changing from one bluetooth device to another, sometimes, I find I need to unplug the stereo for a minute, replug and start over to make the connection. I purchased the Bose speaker. I am theilled that my LP’s from the 1960’s sound fantastic on the Bose and turntable!

This Audio-Technica turntable is a high quality, reasonably priced unit, and I’m very happy with it. It paired to my Bluetooth headphones very quickly and the sound quality is amazing. The instructions are sparse, so do what I did and go to YouTube for videos on how to set it up and use it. I did have a small issue with installing the belt (it twisted) but it was easy to fix. I also have it hooked up to my amplifier for wired speakers, but it’s hard to beat Bluetooth for the convenience of listening to music anywhere in the house. All in all, I’m very pleased with this turntable and highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade from speakers only to Bluetooth.
