The Results

I’m pleasantly surprised by the AT-LP60. I’m often asked to recommend the cheapest model of turntable that won’t cause undue record damage, and have been curious to complete this test for some time. Based on the results of the test I can conclude that the AT-LP60 will not cause record damage, at least not any more damage than would be expected of a similar turntable. It is certainly a huge cut above the likes of Crosley, GPO, Ion and the many other suitcase-style and portable turntables on the market, most of which will do more harm than good. Other similarities between the two are that they both have built-in phono preamps which makes it straight forward to connect them to any receiver or active speakers. And your records will be totally safe because none of these turntables have reputation for destroying records. As some inexpensive record players, in general, have been accused of.

Note that it is surprisingly quiet. The recording is taken from the LP60 and as previously mentioned the noise from the phono and A2D electronics is more noticeable than the surface noise coming from the record. Here is the noise after 10 plays: https://www.audioappraisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LP60-Audio-10_1.wavthe LP-60x's new 3.25mm stereo output; the phono/line switch turns on the built-in phono preamp (left), the included audio cable that connects turntable to your audio ouput (right) While being a nicely deigned affordable turntable, the LP60 just can’t catch up with the wow factor of its bigger brother. And frankly, not many turntables can. 2.

We also see a few more parts of the automatic mechanism as well as the arm’s lateral pivot bearing which is primitive but does the job. Given the number of small parts at play here, and the relative complexity in its assembly, it does beg the question as to whether a higher quality manual turntable could be manufactured for a similar price. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 1st November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) As before, I repeated the side 50 times and took a sample after every 10 plays using my Technics, just to keep the numbers consistent with the first test. The AT-LP60 was connected to a MacBook Pro using its built-in USB interface and thus also its built-in phono stage. Recordings were taken with Logic Pro x with levels set to avoid clipping but to not be so low as to induce unnecessary noise into the signal when boosted. I did note that the noise of the AT-LP60’s built-in phono stage and analogue to digital converter was equivalent, if not slightly louder, than the surface noise coming from the record itself.

Not only music listening. 6. Speed Beneath the mat, the aluminum platter can be adjusted to move at either the standard 33rpm for LPs, or 45rpm for 7-inch records (and also some larger special edition 45rpm pressings). This is easily adjustable using the Speed button on the left side of the table's front face. To the right of the platter, near the stylus, there's a switch to select between record sizes. This is essential to set beforehand, as it determines where the needle drop will occur when you press Start. We've identified (4) key differences: the tonearm design, the external power supply, the output connection, and the overall aesthetics.

In Into My Arms, the gruffness of Cave’s baritone croon is well communicated, the staggered delivery of the eponymous lyric is clear, and the piano accompaniment carries warmth, but the presentation as a whole isn’t as fleshed out.I founded Audio Appraisal a few years ago and continue to regularly update it with fresh content. An avid vinyl collector and coffee addict, I can often be found at a workbench tinkering with a faulty electronic device, tweaking a turntable to extract the last bit of detail from those tiny grooves in the plastic stuff, or relaxing in front of the hi-fi with a good album.
