Thinking on getting an AT-LP 120. I'm on a budget so there's that. Any advice on it? Is it worth it? I heard it is almost as good as a Technics.

It's the most commonly reccomended player if you're on a budget and are just getting into vinyl. Just buy it and quit making shit threads.

yeah no shit genius, I wanted to know more detailed and specific things not the "xddDd it's pretty entry-level and ok for your budget" because I fucking know that

quit making snarky replies if you are not going to help

I got an AT-LP60 for christmas, is it really that bad or is it fine. I haven't played anything on it yet.

If you are on a budget collecting vinyl is not for you

I have one. Not really a vinyl nerd but it has a good build and does pretty much anything that you would want it to do lol

I'm on a budget because the AT-LP 120 is expensive af in my country. Technics is like double the price of the 120 here. I can deal pretty easily with vinyl because I have a steady job, but my vintage Sanyo called it quits so I guess I'm trying to make sure I pick the right turntable for a decent price.

it's on the "better than a Crosley but it's not that good" level

Will it fuck up my vinyls tho?

it's not expensive... go to a real record store and get classics for 5-8 dollars

not as much as a Crosley, but it will eventually because of the lack of anti-skating and balance

I have no issues with mine. I say get one, especially if you're just starting out. Wouldn't wanna spend a ridiculous amount on something and find out youre not into it.

How much does a 1200 mk2 sell for? Ebay and amazon prices are all over the place.

>I heard it is almost as good as a Technics.

Well it LOOKS like an SL1200 but

you need a counterweight

i got it
it's okay, but it has a slight speed issue (playing a tad bit faster than normal)

The LP60 is perfectly counterbalanced out of the box. You can only get one replacement cartridge for it so adjustable counterweight isn't needed.

Have you looked into orbit turntables? Belt driven, but pretty high quality non-dj table for not much. I'd check those out for a TT that sounds good and looks good.

>Belt driven
People always mention this like it's a bad thing. Pretty much every audiophile-level turntable is belt-driven. As long as the turntable has a quality motor and the belt is in a good state of repair there are zero issues.
