Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a basic turntable but it’s good quality and sounds pretty good, if you’re into analog sound for nostalgic reasons or whatever. My 19 yr old daughter actually got this as a birthday gift, it’s all she wanted. Isn’t it ironic that a few decades ago when digital music was just breaking onto the scene, everyone wanted CD’s, we were so thrilled to have static-free music that sounded so much better than vinyl or tape. Then it was DVD audio with its multi-channel stereo and superior sound reproduction. Now we have lossless streaming digital audio with Atmos sound processing *in freaking headphones*.., and in Tesla’s, and a few other cars I think, but my kid says she *likes* the static, and I now had a reason to teach her what “wow and flutter” means, a foreign concept to most people under 30. Actually, I’m surprised so many people want to listen to vinyl, I don’t personally get the hype. But I can appreciate the value and quality of this very decent entry level turntable. My only real “gripe” if there is one, is that the buttons feel hollow and pretty cheap, if I’m being honest. But this is entry level, so I’m happy with the overall quality considering the low price. It’s far better than the first one I bought her which was an off-brand Amazon 4.5 star rated unit with speakers that was incredibly disappointing.., daughter thought it was “perfect” but it was like nails on a chalkboard to my ears. So, being the concerned father I am, I sent that one back (with her permission, of course) and replaced it with this unit and a powered 2.1 channel speaker/sub set (it’s in her bedroom) because I believe everyone should develop an appreciation for high fidelity sound. She’s very happy with it and that makes me happy. Would I recommend? Yes, if you’re on a tight budget or a non-audiophile type. Just don’t expect it to impress with tactile feedback; the buttons are noisy and cheap feeling. But it’s easy to use with one button play and the mechanism is solid. Just skip the stuff on Amazon and go with this one.

Let me start by stating first, the reason for the 4 stars instead of the 5 is because as great as these are, to really feel the music u need to buy a pre-amp device. Otherwise u have to listen to it threw line which kind of defeats the purpose of it and they dont tell you this anywhere. That being said, i just started getting back into vinyl. I actually purchased TWO of these systems. One for living room and one for bedroom. Without the pre-amp, they sound amazing, just have to crank the volume up. Its very easy to use and ensemble. I was debating between this and the 200 sony one. But after reading the reviews and comparssions, people said they pretty much give the same sound. The sony has blutooth tho (which again, digitizes the music so defeats the purpost). So i got 2 of these for the price of one of those. If you are getting into vinyl or want too, i would deff start with these. I have it hooked up to a onkyo system and the other to a yamaha system. I tell you, im so glad i purchased these and i look forward to enjoying vinyl again.

Wanted to be able to play old and new vinyl, but didn’t want to break the bank. This turntable did the trick. After get muting burned by another turntable that actually scratched some vinyl, it’s a relief to have a turntable that I can trust. I plugged it into my existing sound system which I honestly haven’t used in years. Now it’s my preferred mode of listening to music again. Only downside is now I’m spending a fortune on vinyl, which is a lot more pricey than in the 80’s!!! Set up was also relatively easy. This version doesn’t have Bluetooth capabilities, but there is a slightly more expensive version which does. My friend got that one (after I raved about this one) and he loves it as well.

This is the best value I could find for an automatic turntable. Audio Technica knows what they're doing, and has made a very simple but very good sounding player. I've been using it to transfer a bunch of vinyl albums to digital files, and it's been working flawlessly. I used to have a Technics turntable many moons ago that was not automatic, so you had to balance the tonearm, adjust the counterweight, set up the anti-skate, and all of that hoo-hah just to listen to your records. Oh, and you had to carefully lift the tonearm and gently lower it to the vinyl surface. When the record side was finished, it just sat there endlessly grinding away at the end, skipping back every rotation. Who needs all of that? This turntable does everything for you. After placing the record, you hit the Start button, and it plays the whole side. At the end, it lifts the tonearm and stops the record. There's no counterweight to mess with, no anti-skate setting, or any other adjustments. It just works. I've transferred about a hundred albums so far, and I'm very happy with the sound quality and ease of operation. I realize that some people love the whole process of playing each side manually, but I'm not one of them. This turntable does an excellent job of handling playback tasks while delivering very good sound. It's a home run as far as I'm concerned. So if you're intimidated by the technical aspects of setting up and using a fancier turntable, this one is a great option that lets you just play and enjoy your records with minimal fuss.

The LP 60x is a revamp of the previous LP60 bit audio technica. The parts included in this device are lightweight but appropriately selected for a record player. The belt-driven system combined with the aluminum platter help with reducing vibrations and the included felt platter cover is a great vibration reducing inclusion. The automatic system is effective and works 100% of the time that I've used it. It is extremely easy to use and sounds very good regardless of its lightweight stature. The tone arm is a spring weighted system and the cartridges and audio technical cartridge. This device can play 45s and 33 and 1/2 speed records. Thoughts: when it comes to hi-fi equipment most people do not think that a $100 turntable would be considered audiophile grade by any stretch of the imagination. And in most scenarios they would be 100% correct. most turntables around this price point have a built-in phonographic pre-amplifier so they can be used with any stereo system. This turntable actually has the ability for you to bypass the internal phono preamp and use your existing receivers preamp. That means the only thing that affects the quality of note would be the cartridge which in this is a very high quality moving magnet cartridge. Granted it's not a project or a marantz but because you are not using the internal pre-amplifier if connected to a very high quality system as in my case a marantz SR-8012 you can get extremely high quality audio that is full of life out of this turntable. I paired this with the Garth Brooks legacy collection and when I turned it on and closed my eyes the wall fell away and I was in a concert. This is a phenomenal investment that I highly recommend anyone make whether you are new to the audio world or an experienced audio file.

I was a little hesitant to buy this turntable at first because of the negative reviews about it skipping and some not even getting it to play but I have had zero issues with the setup, I hooked it up to a couple insignia bookshelf speakers I purchased at Best Buy at the same time and it sounds fantastic. If it gets shaken even a little it will skip, like when I’ve walked too hard and too close to the table its sitting on it skips a few seconds but I think that’s more my fault because I have it on an end table that’s not really well balanced. If I’m not near the turntable its fine so I know its me and will be putting it on a more stable platform in the next few days so I’m sure I’ll have absolutely no problem then. I should also mention that I had been using a Crosley Deluxe suitcase record player prior to buying this and if you’re still using one of those or are debating between whether to buy one of those for $40 or spend the extra coin on this one, don’t even think about it and buy this one. I have run speakers that cost 4 times the amount of the Crosley on it and it doesn’t matter, the difference between this one and the Crosley is night and day. This sounds amazing, still has that full sound with just a slight, barely audible crackle of vinyl, whereas the Crosley is kind of a mess. Even on great speakers it just doesn’t sound right, where this one sounds gorgeous on a pair of $70 speakers. If you’re looking to get into vinyl, committed the sin of buying a suitcase record player, or you just want a turntable without killing your budget, this is the one to get. As a side note, some very minor setup is required, but nothing crazy. Basically just attaching to the belt to the motor, but it takes 3 seconds. You won’t regret it.

Awesome budget turntable. I’m new to vinyls and I did a lot of research for a good vinyl that wouldn’t break the bank. This was definitely a great deal. Apart from the great aesthetics, it sounds amazing, and I paired them with the Insignia bookshelf speakers (another budget but good option). The sound is crystal clear and sounds more full than what you hear on your normal AirPods. Only thing I’d say, look up how to tune the belt speed on YouTube, I noticed when I first took it out that it was playing at about 5-10% faster than it should have been, but it’s a quick easy fix. This is way better than any of those brief case vinyl players that often damage your records. If you’re new, but want a good turntable that will sound good and last a long time, this is a great option.

I wanted to dip my toes into the world of vinyl and didn't want to spend a ton of money. This player hit all the check boxes for what I wanted. Good price, pre Amp, fully automatic, belt driven and a name I have heard of. Set up was simple, and it hooked up to receiver with no problems. Listening to a record is as easy as load and push start. It sounds just fine and harkens me back to listening to records when I was a kid.

The Audio-Technica turntable delivers exceptional sound quality and build, making it a solid choice for vinyl enthusiasts. Its reliable performance, ease of use, and stylish design enhance any audio setup. The automatic features and adjustable counterweight allow for tailored listening experiences. Overall, it’s an excellent investment for music lovers. Highly recommended!

This is the best beginner/budget turntable for a reason! This turntable, paired with a good set of speakers (like the Edifier R1280T) make for an easy to use setup that allows you to really get the most out of your vinyls. The ease of use is something that can't go overlooked. My girlfriend used to always be worried about scratching the record when dropping or lifting the needle. With this turntable, the needle lifts itself, drops itself, and returns to it's holder when the record ends. Zero complaints, great price, amazing value.

First purchase and it plays and sounds good and it’s simple to use. For the price ain’t bad.

I've used a few other cheap record players and this one absolutely blows them away. I have it hooked up to a cheap $30 amp and it sounds amazing through my speakers. It plays like a more expensive player for sure...I guess maybe they are able to offer it at a slightly lower price due to some assembly being required. Only real issue is there's not really any options in terms of balance/weight/etc. Really good price, looks cool and kinda retro, and it's super easy to put together.

I recently got my Audio-Technica turntable, and I couldn't be happier with it! The sound quality is exceptional, capturing every detail of my vinyl records with clarity and warmth. Setting it up was a really easy, and the build quality is solid, giving me confidence in its durability. Whether I'm listening to jazz, blues, or soul, this turntable delivers an authentic, rich listening experience that brings my music collection to life. If you're looking for a reliable and high-performing turntable, I highly recommend Audio-Technica!

Decided to upgrade from a suitcase record player (it never played records right, everything sounded distorted and fuzzy), and wow... the sound quality is INSANE!! Keep in mind that this one does not have Bluetooth and you will need to buy your own speakers to connect with very specific audio cords. I used a pair I already had that were nice but I'm sure the quality of your speakers have to do with how good the sound is as well. Otherwise, a fantastic intro record player that might look simple but is so much more worth it than those god awful suitcase record players.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the Audio Technica automatic turntable. Its fully automatic belt-drive design made playing my vinyl collection effortless and reliable. The stereo sound delivered by this turntable was immersive and captured the essence of my favorite albums. With the ability to play both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records, I had no shortage of options to keep the music going. The dual magnet phono cartridge provided rich audio quality, and the diamond stylus ensured longevity and exceptional playback. I also appreciated the hinged detachable dust cover, which kept my vinyl records protected. Overall, the Audio Technica automatic turntable provided an exceptional listening experience and a convenient way to enjoy my music collection

This is a fully functional, user friendly, great sounding turntable. It looks great, works perfectly, fits most budgets. I haven’t had a turntable for 15 years, and this one makes it very fun and easy to share my old records with friends. I got a very serviceable pre-amp for $25 (make sure you get one if your amp doesn’t have one built in).

First of all, setup is simple and fast. The controls are easy to use, no complex settings needed. Most importantly, the sound output through the use of amplifier or receiver is great that any audiophile will love. I recommend this if you are looking for quality sound. Purchasing online from Best Buy and picking up in the store us no problem.

I'm delighted that the reviews are right - this is a stunningly good turntable for the money. It's very light, so my first thought was that it was "cheap", but the sound is terrific. Very easy to use. Unless you are an audiophile with a $10,000 system, there is no reason to buy anything else.

I have had a chance to use this for a little while now, and recently added some new speakers to complete the setup. This record player was simple to set up, with the most difficult part being the ~3 seconds it took to connect the belt to the platter. I have a decent vinyl collection with new and old/vintage vinyls and all play smoothly and sound great on this player.

The Audio-Technica Stereo Turntable delivers a premium vinyl experience with its sleek black gunmetal design. Boasting exceptional sound quality, it seamlessly blends classic analog charm with modern features. The fully automatic operation and built-in preamp simplify setup, while the adjustable dynamic anti-skate control ensures precise tracking. A fantastic addition for vinyl enthusiasts, providing a delightful combination of style and performance at an accessible price point
