What customers say about "Key Specs"
Audio-Technica AT-LP60BK Stereo Turntable
- This is a great starter turntable. I like the automatic arm function. It takes the guesswork out of putting the needle down on the right place to start the record.
- I think this AT-LP60 hits all the bases. Wife presses one button after she puts on the record, and the turntable does the rest. I paired it with powered speakers, and it sounds pretty nice to both of us.
- It's ease of use and solid performance is fantastic. Like another reviewer stated, it would have been nice to have a tone arm lock, but that's definitely not a deal breaker.
- My only complaint is that the belt does not seem durable. Surprisingly though, this cheap belt rotates the platter with precision.
- This is a perfect turntable for casual listening, obviously I would not recommend it for scratching as it is a belt drive, but it does a very good job for listening and vinyl sampling.
Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable
- Fully automatic and easy to operate. dust off those old records and listen to what you have been missing on cds.
- You can function the turntable either automatically or manually which is great for I like to drop the needle myself, but let it automatically reset when the record finishes.
- It’s very easy to use. I like how it automatically drops and lifts the needle for you.
- The large platter, automatic return and closable clear dust cover were also welcome additions.
- Automatic functions were jerky and the stop function failed after one use.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Audio-Technica AT-LP60BK Stereo Turntable
- The weight on this thing just lets you know it's built well. Sound is fantastic through my sound bar.
- Belt driven full turntable (aluminum? the table has good weight whatever it is). Buttons seem a little cheap, but it seems sturdy overall.
- This model is simple, light weight and of beautiful design and sound quality.
- It's rather light weight but I'm not rough on my stuff so it should outlive me. Great item for the average person that likes to spin a few records.
- Your turntable is satisfactory. I was surprised you could get this quality from such light weight material.
Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable
- It's fully automatic, easy to use, compact, and looks nice next to modern tv/speaker setups.
- It works well. It's very light weight, and the sound seems a little bit muddy, but still good - i am hearing things on the vinyls that i have not heard before on the digital media.
- I've tested the tone arm weight, spot on at 3.5g as advertised.
- A great entry level record player. Not to be confused with high end equipment. VERY light weight plastic unit.
- Build seemed flimsy, light as a feather. Audio was ok but I've heard way better.

What customers say about "Audio"
Audio-Technica AT-LP60BK Stereo Turntable
- I have owned this unit for a few years with on and off use. I first had it connected to an all-in-one stereo in a box unit by using the provided preamp feature. It sounded satisfactory using that limited system.
- I accidentally damaged the stylus but replacements are reasonably priced and easily available.
- I hooked this turntable up to a pair of Audioengine A2+ powered speakers and it sounds great! So if your looking for an inexpensive, yet a great sounding, reliable turntable, look no further. I am very happy with this product!
- Great sound. Never had a problem with distortion or wonkiness. 10/10 recommend!
- I have conected this turntable to an older Sony stereo receiver. Set up was quite easy, instructions concise, and I was immediatley impressed with the quality of the sould output.
- Cannot get decent sound through my speakers. I am returning it!
Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable
- Sounds fine and super easy to use. Good for a beginner.
- Sounds great, the autostart feature works the same on every record I've played.
- No skips, no distortion, no interference due to the power supply being outside the chassis of the turntable.
- The built-in preamp means you can plug it directly into a pair of powered speakers, and you have a complete vinyl playback system.
- The speed is quite accurate, which surprised me a bit. I expected more noise in the signal chain and I expected more inaccuracy in speed.

What customers say about "Features"
Audio-Technica AT-LP60BK Stereo Turntable
- I like that it has the built-in dust cover that is closable during operation. It'll stay a part of my audio equipment for a long time.
- Everything from singles and cheaply made records to 180gram records all work and sound great!
- Listening through my near-field monitors, keyboard amps and a variety of headphones, I was a tad disappointed when comparing against the CD recording of the same material.
- I found this turntable to connect to my Sonos system. It was easy to connect and the sound quality is just awesome.
- The record player is amazing, can be connected to larger speaker for louder sound. It's very sleek and stylish as well. I love it!
- That is not the fault of the equipment, just a lack of a feature. So, all in all, it is nothing more than adequate compared to other equipment in this price range.
Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable
- I love the auto-start/stop feature, and the up/down button is like having a pause button on a record player!
- To be able to have a button to automatically stop or play is great.
- You can operate it manually by pressing the cueing button to lift the arm, moving the arm to wherever you want in the record, and pressing the button again to lower the arm.
- 1/8" to RCA plug not a good idea: needs RCA outputs on turntable for a stable connection. Very susceptible to vibrations from speakers.
- The cable that comes with it is thin and cheap feeling but it works.
