Vinyl Player Audio-Technica AT-LP60XUSBGM

Audio-Technica AT-LP60X USB GM is a Plug and play vinyl record player. An excellent option for a substantive acquaintance with music recorded on LP media that have regained their former popularity.

The device body (table) is made of durable matte dark gray plastic, while the support disk is expected to be aluminum. It is worth noting the minimalistic playback control scheme implemented by the resource of large mechanical keys with a pleasant tactile response. By the way, the algorithm for starting/stopping the tonearm and the engine is fully automatic, which will be positively evaluated by an unprepared user. Just install the record on the support, select the rotation frequency, press the start key – and the music will begin the path of conquering the listener's consciousness(s). In addition, at the end of the last track, the motor will stop, and the tonearm (in turn) will return to its original position. In addition, I was pleased with the presence of a built-in (switchable) phono corrector, which allows you to connect the turntable even to portable acoustics. It is noteworthy that unlike the first generation AT-LP60 (without the "X" index), the cable for connecting the gramophone to the acoustics/amplifier is removable this time (included).

Despite the democratic price, the reviewed player can almost completely convey the acoustic charm of compositions recorded on vinyl discs. And this means that the listener will fully appreciate the dense, enveloping and soft bass; the voluminous melodic middle and sonorous expressive treble, which remain readable in most cases, that is, do not go into sharpness. Special attention should be paid to the ability of turntable (English. analog of the term "turntable") to the construction of a spacious stereo panorama that allows the tracks to sound more lively and natural. It is also important to mention the presence of a built-in ADC module, through which you can digitize records by first connecting the AT-LP60X to a PC and installing the necessary software (for example, Audacity). In conclusion, it should be noted that the final sound quality will significantly depend on the amplifier or acoustics connected to the player, as well as on the presence of an external phono corrector, the further acquisition of which is fully justified.

AT LP60XUSBGM is a balanced solution for overcoming the next stage of music formation, which does not require unjustified expenses and a long study of the nuances of cooperation with vinyl players.
