I’m thinking about selling my LP120 and getting a U-turn with the walnut plinth, acrylic platter, and Ortofon Red.

 

Since the LP120 is a really common table, I’m hoping someone on the board might have experience with both and can tell me if it’s worth the extra ~$200 to get the U-Turn.  

 

I’m really digging the solid wood plinth and heavy duty platter compared to the plastic/aluminum of the 120.  I currently have an ATN95E cartridge on the 120, so the Red should be a decent upgrade from that.

 

Things I might miss from the 120, 33/45 electric switching and the USB out.  There have been some LPs I couldn’t find digital files of so I ripped them, but that isn’t super common.

 

Any thoughts or opinions?

 

 

I would recomend you a rega planar 1 or a pro ject debut carbon, im in a situation that is very similar to yours, you should totally upgrade from the lp 120

Hi, im planning to buy a new Turntable, but im between a lot of diferent options that are: 
1. A white U turn Orbit custom with an Ortofon 2M red cartridge, built in preamp and an acrylic plate 399$ 
2. A U turn Orbit with an 2M Blue cartridge, and a built in preamp (normal plate) 460$ 
3. a pro-ject Debut Carbon 400$ 
4. A Rega planar 1 450$ 

Feel free to recomendate other TT and please recomendate preamps, my budget is between 400-500$ But if i can save money for some records it would be good

Right on, I know others on the forum have enjoyed that table. Also look into some used Regas (perhaps a P3 http://www.rega.co.uk/planar-3-2016.html)

I dont like to buy used turntables, if i have to buy a Rega turntable, im going to buy the Rega planar 1

Another options is something in the Pro-Ject debut line... I can already hear folks on here typing away on how shit they think their tables are but I have had my Debut III for almost 6 years now and it's still going strong - plus its right in your range.

 

On the note of customization, you can upgrade quite a few of the components to get better performance over time - I've got the speed-box, acrylic platter, and an Ortofon 2M blue on which makes for a great sound.

Yeah, my budget is a little big bigger now and i was thinking in the debut carbon

I'd recommend the U-Turn Orbit if you're looking for something in the $300 range.

Thats a very good option, the thing is that the U-turn orbits are very... customisable and i was looking for one i could buy in store like guitar center

I will have it in mind!!! Maybe one day i wiil want to destroy my records and hear them like shit (i understood the joke)

Hi, my name is Franco, im from Argentina, im new in this group and I would like an advice. The thing is: in Febraury when i was looking to buy my first record player, after a lot of searching  i had decided to buy an audio technica lp60 because the thing is, here in Argentina turntables and electronic things in general ar very, VERY EXPENSIVE (to give an example, the lp 60 is around 300$ and the lp120 is between 600-700$) but finally i bought it and im very happy with it but i would like to upgrade my record player. The thing is that next year im going to usa for the first time and im planning to buy a record player there but i cant pay more than 300$ So my question is: Wich record player do you recommend me to buy? I know that the most common one is the ATLP 120, but there are a lot of turntables in the market i would like a recommendation, what i want in a record player is the best sound quality possible.
Bye and thank you, Franco
