User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have a built-in preamp
Answer:	Most DJ professional turntables will not have a preamp. Those are inside of our DJ mixers. It’s easy enough to get a preamp or a mixer if you plan on ripping sound files.
Question:	Where is this product manufactured
Answer:	Manufactured in China. Designed in Japan. Hope it helps
Question:	What headshell can I buy as a replacement
Answer:	The bearings are extremely easy to adjust and are designed to be slightly tightened. A miniature screwdriver and a needle nose pliers are all that is needed. loosen the outer ring and then tighten the internal screw 1 or 2 degrees. They should not be tight, just tight enough to not jiggle. I own 8 technic 1200 turntables a few Vestax turntables and a few belt drive audiophile belt drive turntables. All the dj style turntables need to have bearings adjusted periodically. Completly Normal. Standard Headshells are readily available. Audiophile headshells are also made.
Question:	How does this pioneer plx-1000 compare to the audio-technica at-lp
Answer:	I think the best answer to which table is "best" depends on your preferences. Am not a DJ, home listening only. Recently traded a good sounding ATLP 1240 (never used the internal preamp) for an excellent sounding Pioneer PLX 1000. The AT's internal preamp seemed add a "cloud" or "veil" to the sound in my system. Even when switched to the phono out position the signal still passes through the AT's preamp circuitry. The Pioneer with straight analog output (no internal preamp circuitry to mess with the signal) sounds much "cleaner." In my opinion as a user of both, if "good" vs "excellent" sound works for you get the AT. It's a better value than the Pioneer.

High-torque direct drive professional turntable (black)

• The PLX-1000 is precision engineered for the booth, drawing on 50 years’ experience of making high-end turntables. The result is a familiar layout with some next generation improvements, including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build and sound quality, and detachable power and audio cables. It’s solidly built for excellent vibration damping and ultra-precise, high-grade audio playback.
• Simply add your choice of cartridge and stylus to the PLX-1000 (not included) and combine with your mixer for an ideal setup for turntablists. An ideal match for DJs is the handmade PC-X10 (sold separately).

Turn the Tables

The high-torque direct drive ensures stable rotation and exceptional control – and it reaches 33⅓ rpm in just 0.3 seconds thanks to a starting torque of 4.5kg/cm (or more).

Excellent Sound Design

The PLX-1000’s heavy-mass, die-cast zinc chassis prevents resonance and vibrations. The lower part of the unit is reinforced with 8mm-thick resin, plus 9mm-thick, vibration-damping material at the base. Plus the rubber-insulated tone arm reduces howling effects, while rubber and springs on the dampening parts of the insulator absorb external vibrations.

Pick Up The Pace

Multi-tempo control lets you instantly pick up or slow down the track to ±8%, ±16% and ±50%, while a simple reset button instantly reverts to ±0%.

Flexible connectivity

Interchangeable power and audio cables can be easily connected and replaced, and pro-grade gold-plated RCA jacks ensure low impedance and an amazing sound quality.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use any needle cartridge for this turn table
Answer:	The turntable uses a sme style headshell. These are pretty universal and the vast majority of phono cartridges will work just fine.
Question:	can i use a rubber mat in place of the felt
Answer:	Thanks for your question. The felt mat is better suited for DJ use but a rubber mat can be substituted. If the rubber mat is thicker you may need to adjust cartridge height. World Wide Stereo is 40 years old and a proud authorized Audio-Technica dealer.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this sound on 45 rpm 12" vinyl? Is there any noticeable difference? Is it just as good, or is conical better? Thanks
Answer:	I found that only way they turn at all when loaded with spices was to take out the shelf lining and even they do not turn freely. I am very disappointed and feel they are very poorly designed. Yes, mine make a slight noise when turned with a full display of spices.
Question:	Does this headshell fit on a technics 1200 mkii
Answer:	I would not recommend this item. We used it for just a few months and it quit spinning and could not be fixed.
Question:	What's the difference between Atvm95e and the At95ex
Answer:	The measurement between shelves is 5", 6" overall height. Mine is on a shelf with an 11" space & will accommodate the glass spice jars and tall cans easily on both top and bottom shelves. You can also stack 2 small cans/jars on either shelf in that amount of space. It's well made and very sturdy.
Question:	Is this cartridge less noisy than the AT95E

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this turntable have built in speakers, or must you have external speakers? could i play it through an ultimate ears boom 3 bluetooth speaker
Answer:	For better sound, external speakers are recommended.I bought 2 speakers last month, the sound quality I think is really good , clear and smooth .you can get my speakershere:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XTDNGZW?ref=myi_title_dp
Question:	What’s the difference lp60xbt-bk and the lp60bk-bt
Answer:	The "X" line is the newest line of Audio-Technica turntables. The LP60X is an update of the popular AT-LP60, the ATLP60X features a redesigned tonearm base and headshell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis where its impact on the signal chain is limited.
Question:	Weight of needle on record? One oz or does it kill records
Answer:	I don't know the weight of the needle,but this record player killed my 3 records,rubbish
Question:	Does the arm/needle damage the vinyls in such a way as the cheap $50 briefcase style vinyls players? Can I upgrade if need be
Answer:	All turntables degrade the performance of vinyl media. The better the counterbalance of the weight of the tonearm, the slower the degradation. The direct contact between the stylus and the grooves in the disk is abrasive. A heavy tonearm is like 100 grit sandpaper and a light tonearm is like 600 grit. I transfer all my LPs to tape and CD. Most of my LPs have only been played two or three times in decades. Limited use and proper storage keeps my collection pristine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I plug this turntable into powered speakers and have sound or do I need a receiver
Answer:	You can use it in both ways.
Question:	I have always owned belt drive turntables. I have read that direct drive can be noisy. How is this one as far as rumble
Answer:	My previous turntable was a very nice AR belt drive table, and I had the same concern about direct drive rumble. Not any more. The AT-LP120XUSB is dead silent. It sounds incredible.
Question:	So, since this turntable has a built in preamp, does this mean I can use passive speakers? Or do I need powered speakers
Answer:	No. You'll need powered speakers or you'll need to plug it into an amp to use passive speakers. "Preamp" = pre (before) amplifier. Preamps and phono amps take the very low signal from the stylus and amplify it to a level that an amplifier can use. AND (the reason record players need phono-specific preamps instead of a standard preamp) the preamp/phonoamp also decodes the RIAA format that all albums since the 1950s use, which is proprietary and needs a specific type of decoding to play the music.
Question:	Ok,..in plain english,...can i plug this tt into external speakers? that's all i want it for. if yes,...what type of speakers
Answer:	Yes you can... The turntable has a built-in preamp. You want to buy powered speakers. They sell tons of them now. The best I have heard were KRK powered speakers. To get a good idea of what’s available, check out the needledoctor or crutchfield websites.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the phono signal bypass the preamp circuitry completely when disengaged or is there some coloring of the sound even when bypassed? Thank you
Answer:	While I can't give you the definitive technical answer you are looking for, I can tell you I have it set up next to an old school Sanyo semi auto playing through a top of the line Onkyo pre-amp, DH500 mosfet amp, and new top of the line JBL tower speakers I just got to replace 40 year old Ohm Walsh 4's. Sound is as clear as the older turntable; I'd attribute any difference in the color of the sound to the cartridge; which can be upgraded. I checked out many turntables before I bought; and this seemed to be the best available unless you want to step up to a manual model. I'm happy with the purchase so far.
Question:	What are the actual dimmesions on the audio techna lp3bk
Answer:	17long,14w,4@3quarters high. bob
Question:	Anybody experiencing problems with the speed varying
Answer:	Yes, after the turntable was used for a month or so, I noticed the speed was a bit high... most noticeable on familiar records. I looked into how the speed can be adjusted on the bottom of the turntable... a fine adjustment that must be done with care, jewelers screwdriver and a speed checker. I used a free App called RPM on my iPhoneSE After carefully adjusting 2 or 3 times, the turntable has not needed further adjustment for about a year. I think it just needed a break in period for the belt drive and bearings. I hope this info is helpful.
Question:	If you manually cue, does it auto return
Answer:	If you manually place the arm on the record when it reaches the end of the record the auto return will activate and the arm return to its resting place and shut off.

Product description

Whether you’re just getting into records, rediscovering a record collection long since buried away or simply adding a turntable to complete your system, the AT-LP60X fully automatic belt-drive turntable is an excellent choice. This affordable, easy-to-use turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, with its built-in switchable phonon preamp, can be connected directly to your home stereo, powered speakers, computer and other components, whether they have a dedicated phonon input or not. An update of the popular AT-LP60, the ATLP60X features a redesigned tone arm base and head shell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conVersion outside of the chassis where its impact on the signal chain is limited. Audio-Technical has been a leader in phonon cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the AT-LP60X’s Dual Magnet cartridge with replaceable stylus. The cartridge is integrated into the head shell for assured performance and ease of setup. The turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (3. 5 mm male to dual RCA male), 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover. It is available in black (AT-LP60X-BK), brown/black (AT-LP60X-BW), gunmetal/black (AT-LP60X-GM), and red/black (AT-LP60X-RD).

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this turntable need speakers to play the record
Answer:	Yes. Needs an amp and speakers.
Question:	What are the differences between this at-lp60x and the regular at-lp60? this one https://www.amazon.com/audio-technica-at-lp60-automatic-belt-drive-tu
Answer:	Lp60x is the newer model.. there are some aesthetic changes, DC conversation happens in the plug now, the o/p is a 3.5mm aux jack with a aux to rca cable(instead od the other way around in 60) that's what I found when I was researching on it. There might be some internal changes too
Question:	Do you needle for this product
Answer:	The need comes with the product. I bought this as a gift for my mother.
Question:	What does ‘fully automatic’ mean exactly
Answer:	A fully automatic turntable will queue and play the record itself with the push of one button as well as return the tonearm on it's own once the record is finished playing.
