2 failed systems, do not buy!
Two of these have broken totally on me, my most recent right out of warranty. The cartridge wears down when you use the mandatory proprietary stylus, and eventually the stylus wouldn't stay in. There's no replacing or fixing the tonearm or head chassis, so the system is just dead. Huge disappointment.

A Great Entry-Level Turntable
I use this turntable for everyday listening, and it is a great piece of equipment. Not only is it fully automatic, which means easy and convenient use, but it can switch between playing 7" singles or 12" LPs automatically using its built in switch to select record size, which is amazing. The stock AT3600LC conical stylus is a great entry-level cartridge offering well rounded and clear sound. The only issues it really has is that it suffers from slight sibilance when playing more dynamic records with higher frequencies. This mostly goes away though after upgrading to the superior ATN3600LE elliptical stylus. This product has been very useful to me, and after a long day I love putting a record on and kicking back to the clear sound of this turntable. Its simple yet clean design and compact footprint allow it to fit perfectly in my living space, and its easy-to-use controls make it a nice and non-tedious turntable to use. The only real complaint I have with it is that it tends to skip on extremely bass-filled or very dynamic records. Due to its lack of an adjustable counterweight, it isn't possible to stop the skipping without the use of unconventional means. But luckily skipping isn't present on regular records, and even when playing genres such as rock or metal, which are usually filled with bass, it tracks perfectly and allows me to listen to my favorite albums with ease. For someone who is beginning their vinyl record collecting journey, or for someone who wants a simple, chaos-free turntable to play music on, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60X is definitely the perfect one for you.

having trouble
I've used audio-technica turntables in the past, and never had any trouble with them. Always considered this to be a really good brand. I've been using them for years. I recently bought another one because I like them so much. While setting it up the needle came out of the cartridge, and I can't get it back in properly. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me get the needle back in the cartridge properly, because it isn't working like this.

Definitely not starting off well.
Received the AT-LP70X model for Christmas. Had to send back in for warranty due to constant skipping. Possible lubrication issue at manufacturing. Obviously frustrated to have to send in a brand new product but I understand it happens with electronics. Shipped out last week and received confirmation they received Monday, when I checked with Fed ex. I then checked with Audio-technica support and was told that it would be a 10-12 day turnaround before my table was fixed. Quite frustrated that I will have to go around a month with a product that I just purchased. Has to be a better way

Great turntable!
VERY EASY TO USE, NO FUSS. FOR YEARS HAD IT IN MY MIND THAT BELT DRIVEN HAD ISSUES BUT I FIND IT WAS EASY TO SET UP AND NO LONGER FEAR IT. WAS ABLE TO HOOK INTO POWERED SPEAKERS THAT CAME WITH THIS UNIT IN A BUNDLE AND ADD A HEAD PHONE AMP TO CONTROL VOL. BASS AND TREBLE WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS! REALLY LIKE THIS TURNTABLE! PLAY AN VERY EXPENSIVE SET OF BEATLE MONO RECORDS ON IT!

Beautiful Machine
Sleek design, automatic playback, great play arm and needle. Will this satisfy the snobs? Who knows, but all I can guarantee is that this is probably the funnest and most elegant begginer turntable I've had. It's easy to use and it feels very cool. Sound is awesome given you have good speakers and all that. I had the AT-LP60 and honestly, this feels like a well deserved upgrade. I'm deeply enjoying this product and I finally feel like I can take vinyl collecting to the next levell. Will this be my final turntable? not really, but I can see myself using this little guy for at least 5 years minimum. If you're on the edge and are thinking of getting it, do it. I'm sure there are some dorks saying there are better technical alternatives but this turntable is all you need as a beginner. This is a little joy machine that I've been testing and enjoying my Lps on! Very happy with my purchase.
