Product Information

So there is a few more parts to assemble and a few more steps involved in setting up the LP120 compared to the LP60. If you are tech savvy this will be no problem. But for super non-techies, it might be wise to ask someone for help. Or choose the LP60. 11.

The LP120 is a very popular “project turntable” and there are a variety of possible upgrades and modifications to consider. As well as many forums where upgrades and mods are lively discussed.

A Word On Styli

Supplied with a 2 pin plug (Euro/world). We advise you to replace with a three pin plug or use an adaptor (neither of them are supply with the air blower).

Includes: Two output adapter cables (dual RCA female to mini-plug male & dual RCA female to mini-plug female), 45 RPM adapter, Removable hinged dust cover If you are going to connect the turntable to an affordable set of powered speaker, this will not make a huge difference. Connected to a high-quality Hi-Fi stereo, on the other hand, the LP120 will sound better than the LP60. If you want to digitize your records the LP120 comes with a USB port that makes it possible to connect the turntable to a computer via USB and digitize records with a dedicated software program. Firstly, we'll start with some of the key similarities. The three most popular features of the AT-LP60 are carried over to the AT-LP60X. With integrated Bluetooth® technology, connect the AT-LP60-BT to your speakers, headphones or stereo receivers without the need for wires. “Increased Convenience”If you’re a little more serious about your vinyl and your hi-fi, though, I’d suggest spending that bit extra for the impressive (and upgradable) Flexson VinylPlay. Verdict It's not that the turntable is defective. It's that, with no screens, it's hard to get both systems in the right mode at the right time. Our best results occurred after already having the speaker in pairing mode when holding the pairing button down on the turntable. The turntable's Bluetooth button will start flashing various colors. You need to get past the three purple blinks to a single purple blink, then lift your finger and the button will flash red and blue, then blink openly blue once it's found the speaker you've put in pairing mode, and finally shine solid blue when it's successfully paired. Mind you, I followed this exact routine with the same speakers multiple times with several failed attempts, but eventually I got there, and once you're paired, this annoyance can basically be forgotten about. Audio-Technica claims that any speaker that supports the SBC codec and A2DP profile should have no issues pairing with the AT-LP60-BT. Connects wirelessly to speakers and other devices equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology or to wired audio systems and powered speakers via included dual RCA output cable

Here we are then with part two of our AT-LP60 test. In this instalment we’ll play one side of a record a total of 50 times as in the original test and assess the damage, if any, the LP60 will cause. The LP60 is a fully automatic turntable. With a push of a button, the turntable automatically moves the tonearm and places the needle where the first song begins. And when the last song ends the turntable automatically return the tonearm. Which makes the LP60 very easy to use. If you are on the search for a new affordable turntable, then two of the models that probably show up most often when you browse the internet are the AT-LP60 and the AT-LP120 from Audio-Technica. 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.wav There’s really no reason to buy the LP60BT ahead of the standard LP60 if you’re not going to use its wireless connectivity, so I paired it via Bluetooth to a Denon DRA-100 network receiver that was connected through its pre-outs to my main hi-fi system.Built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier with RCA output cables to connect to audio systems and powered speakers 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. Ease of Use Recording from vinyl is a simple process too. Files can be ripped as 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz WAVs by connecting your PC or laptop to the turntable’s USB type B output, then using the supplied Audacity software to process them. The LP60BT also shares many of the modern (in the 1980s) convenience features of a midi-system turntable, with auto-start, auto-return, and a button to raise and lower the needle. Such things have almost been lost in time. the AT-LP60x's specs (left) / under the platter of the AT-LP60x: belt drive + auto-play mechnism (right)
