IanRees Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Anybody have any experience with these turntables? I'm looking for a affordable secondary turntable for my office, not looking to pick up another Pro-Ject but definitely don't want a Crosley, just something cheap and decent. Worth it?

Oblivions Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Target, if you’ll believe it, has gotten into the $100 turntable game and, if you’ll believe it, their model actually has a metal tonearm with an adjustable weight. Might be worth looking into as a slightly better alternative to the Crosley level players. It’s called the Heyday player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to go check it out in person. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hey Ian, I've been using an AT-LP60 as my main for the better part of six years. Someday I'll upgrade, but I'm not in a hurry - this thing does pretty much everything I need it to. I personally have a pretty nice equalizer that I hooked up, and that improves the sound immensely. The sound on it's own is decent - I've never done a direct, side-by-side comparison, but I have a friend with a Pro-Ject and I remember the sound being a bit fuller on the latter, but that's to be expected. If your question is whether or not it's worth having as a backup, I would say absolutely. Would be happy to answer any other questions you have.

shenanigans Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Nothing against AT, but why not just get a used vintage table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just get a small preamp that goes directly from turntable to speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
