Turn table for my kid???
@tboooe Here ya go! It seems like a toy! http://www.needledoctor.com/Audio-Technica-LP60-Fully-Automatic-Turntable-with-Switchable-Phono-Pre-... |
Hi TB - The LP60 is a bit of a plastic toy. I have set up a few of my buddies' post college age kids with the Audio Technica LP120. It is sturdy, the built in preamp is decent and is not susceptible to hum, and the included cartridge is ok. The silver version is less expensive than the black version, but that is the only difference. If you want to swap out the cartridge, it is easy to do as it is a standard size head shell. You could do a lot worse even for yourself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-LP120-USB/112254577196 Lots of choices for powered speakers from Emotiva, and PSB, for starters. https://emotiva.com/products/powered-monitors/speakers/airmotiv-4s http://www.crutchfield.com/p_760ALPHPS1/PSB-Alpha-PS1.html Rich |
Audio Technica makes a PL120, which is a serious improvement over the PL60. I have a friend that owns the PL120. Seems like a well made table for the asking price ~$250. Comes with AT95E cartridge. Has a built in phonostage which can be switched out should one wish to upgrade to separate one. Doesn't Needledoctor offer this model? There are several vendors via Amazon. This TT and the Audioengine A2 would provide your daughter a most simplistic, budget minded, and enjoyable starter vinyl system for under $500. |
