problemchild Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 So I just sold my horrible Ion Profile LP Turntable to do a little upgrade. Not looking for anything spectacular, but would like something better built. At the moment, I am looking at the Audio Technica AT-LP60 off Amazon based on some good reviews that I've seen. Any opinions on that turntable or other suggestions? Again, not looking for anything incredible, just a solid record player to hook up to my sound system.

bearchuck Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Calling a move from an Ion to the LP60 an "upgrade" is a stretch, to say the least. If you're stuck at $100, then vintage will probably give you the biggest bang for your buck. I suggest one of the better-build technics direct drive models from the late 70s. You can probably find one that has been well cared for in the $100 - $150 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymbalism15 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You could also wait and see what happens with the new $150 "audiophile" turntable from U-Turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyZPD Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I own an LP60 and it's reliability when compared to the few vintage tables I've owned is well worth it. Plus, to me it sounds great! That said, I may be in for one of those U-Turn tables.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
