moetzmoet Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hi. I have had an Audiotechnica LP60 turntable for almost two years now. As I have some Christmas cheddar to spend on some new goodies for myself (and most definitely will I be buying a couple of LP's) what upgrades should I make? So far, I am debating whether to get the following: 1. A New Slipmat (the one I have I really don't like) 2. A new stylus (this one might be for down the line, as it hasn't done 400 hours of playback yet) 3. A new belt (I think my turntable runs a bit fast) What would you recommend? I know that some members don't like the LP60, but it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Before you spend $24 on a stylus, $12 on a belt and $10 on a slip mat I would really consider just taking the ~$50 you'll spend and upgrade to a U-Turn which will be an upgrade for all 3 of those items. You can then sell the LP60 on Facebook marketplace for around $50 and net a pretty solid turntable setup for only $100 more. LPs can be bought anytime down the road If that's not what you're looking for, yes, what you've stated above should do the trick for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 A belt isn’t going to fix your speed problem. Cheap entry level tables are notorious for spinning at variable speeds. The U turn mentioned is far more likely to get you closer to 33 1/3 RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
