Good entry level turntable, with option to use an amplifier for sound or a hifi system if you have an auxilary input on the hifi. Simple to use and with minimal assembly required. Don't be put off by those audiophile snobs who claim that the LP60 will ruin records- It won't. The tracking force (the amount of force the stylus puts on the record) is preset at 3.5 grammes. The big record companies released a spec sheet for records back in the 1960's and the ideal maximum tracking force qouted was 5-6 grammes. The old large portable automatic record players from the 50's, 60's and 70's usually used to track at around 5-6 grammes and millions of records from those days survive in good condition. Some people will say that there is no "Anti skate" system for the tone arm- Yes there is but it's pre set. You are more likely to damage records by playing them with a damaged/worn stylus. Audio Technica suggest changing the stylus after 400-500 hours use Some people will say that the speed fluctuates on LP60's, yes, sometimes it does but that is usually down to a stretched drive belt that starts to slip, which is a servicable part anyway- Both simple to change and cheap to buy. It can simply be changed in a minute. The LP60 can trace it's roots back to the early 1990's, the mechanical workings have been in production at least 30 years, so the design must work otherwise people wouldn't buy them. All in all, an excellent starter turntable but the lp60's with the X suffix are the ones to go for as there are one or two little tweeks.Read full review

This turntable is very easy to use with the auto play feature and it produces a very good quality sound as well. For £100 it is excellent value for money.

We bought this not expecting to much but we were very pleasantly surprised .Its really well made and the quality for the price was surprising.Really easy to set up. I first used a sounbar on it and this worked well , then i dug out some old technics speakers and it sounds amaz ing . You can get a lot of players with built in speakers that make a nice ornament but the sound is awful .Its well worth spending that xtra few quid to get the sound your vinyls deserve .
