Review on 🎡 AT-LP60XBT Black Vinyl Player by Audio-Technica by Adam Worek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

First, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound. So much so that I did not expect this from an entry-level turntable. I listen to the device with a good amplifier and speakers. The sound with the phono stage turned off is just awesome. You can feel the depth of the vinyl. And even the old Soviet discs, hackneyed back in the 80s, sound new. And from good vinyl you will simply experience sensations. I expected a similar effect from the device at least for 30-40 thousand, but not for 15 thousand. Audio-Technica knows how to make pickups, what else can I say. With the built-in phono stage, it sounds a little worse, although this is already a matter of taste. It is possible that someone will like more linear sound. It's not worth talking about bluetooth at all. It's just that the household has several bluetooth headphones - that's why this option was chosen. But listening to this device via bluetooth is boring. It's not the device's fault. Bluetooth kills live sound. The device is made in the style of a full machine. Put, click and listen. In this cl, nothing else is given, and, in general, it is not necessary. If you have, for example, a collection of old records and some remnants of old, but working equipment, and it is desirable that the amplifier has its own phono stage, then this product is ideal for you. There is no point in repairing a dead Vega or something like that. Or, let's say you don't have old equipment, but again, there are stocks of grandfather's vinyl and good active computer acoustics - this is also an option for you. But in general - this device sounds much better than it costs in terms of money.

Pros
  • Compact, inexpensive and good sounding turntable.
Cons
  • Well, it doesn't look like audiophile hi-end. Simple tonearm, no possibility to change cartridges. But it's all about a different budget.
