Get an Audio Technica AT-LP60 + an amplifier + speakers + speaker wire. That's what I have and it cost me less than $180. Here's the Amazon links for everything I have:

Record player

Speakers

Pre-amp

Speaker wire

STAY AWAY FROM CROSLEYS OR ANYTHING WITH BUILT IN SPEAKERS. DO NOT BUY A RECORD PLAYER UNDER $80. IT'S WORTH IT TO SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A SETUP THAT WILL SOUND NICE AND WON'T DESTROY YOUR RECORDS. Can't stress that enough.

u/deadlypliers · 10 pointsr/ModestMouse

My first ever turntable was an Audio-Technica automatic turntable. It looks like they're going for $100 on Amazon which is about what I paid when I got mine back in 2006. They're nice because it handles raising/dropping the needle automatically, and the sound is decent. It has a built-in amp, so there's no need to go buy a separate unit for that. All you have to do is plug it in to your stereo through RCA jacks and you're set.

They also make models with Bluetooth output, but it adds a significant amount to the price, and A2DP is not exactly a high quality audio protocol.

u/tip-of-the-yikesberg · 8 pointsr/popheads

I have had this Audio-Technica turntable for about 3 years and it’s worked just fine for me. Audio-Technica has some higher quality ones for more if you wanna spend a lil more, but this is a great one for beginners.

Lana’s entire discography transfers well to vinyl. Any Mitski or Bon Iver record, Stranger in the Alps, Melodrama, Golden Hour, Red, and Heard It In A Past Life are some of my favorite albums on vinyl

Edit: Link since I’m on mobile and it’s not working for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LGgXCb2VFK12S

u/jhenryrobertson · 7 pointsr/turntables

Does he have a stereo? You cant just buy a record player without an amplifier and speakers.


https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60BK-Automatic-Belt-Drive-Turntable/dp/B008872SIO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=turntable&qid=1557850824&s=gateway&sr=8-3


If he has an amp and speakers, this would be fine and its in your price range. Anything less will be crap crappy crap, or you'll be buying used which is hard if you dont know anything about record players. If he doesnt have an amp/speakers, you can get those for another $100-200 and make it a really rad anniversary.

u/polypeptide147 · 5 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

You'll want to start with an Audio-Technica turntable. It is $100 and has a phono-preamp, so all you need is speakers and an amp after that.

For $300, you've got quite a few options. Right now, I would go with an SMSL SA100 combined with a pair of Elac Debut B6.2 speakers. That will give you a very full sound for not much money. You'll need speaker cables and RCA cables. I would go with AmazonBasics for those.

Another good option, while they're on sale, would be the Klipsch R-51M at $125. They are brighter and more forward. These will give you a 'front row of a concert' sort of feel, with dynamics and punch. The Elacs will extend much deeper and have a much smoother top end, that won't be fatiguing like the Klipsch may be.

u/article13bad123 · 4 pointsr/Megadeth

whatever you do, get rid of that player! NOW! I have the exact same one, and I have a bunch, i mean a bunch of old vintage records my cousin gave me, and some of my pre existing records were scratched cause of that thing. The tracking force recommended is 1-3-3.5 grams, that victrola is a 4-6.5 at the least, get rid of it, return it and buy am audio technica LP 60 and a pair of edifier speakers, this is the speaker (click here > speakers) and this is the turn table (click here >turntable ) have fun though

u/the_continuum · 3 pointsr/Denver

Thanks for all of the responses, everyone. After reading a bunch of reviews and watching some stuff on youtube, I decided to buy her the Audio Technica AT-LP60. She's got a good sound system that can do phono, and she's not so much of an audiophile that I think this will do. She's more interested in just listening to a bunch of records our parents gifted her that they have collected since their childhood.

u/aw-coffee-no · 3 pointsr/gorillaz

For how expensive each lp can be, I would invest in a better made turntable IMO. Those all-in-one briefcase style bluetooth turntables probably won't make your records last very long - and (at least in the Intempo's case) they don't list detailed specs of the turntable either so you don't really know what you're getting. I'd go for an Audio Technica turntable - they have some under $100 and they're made fairly well, and if something breaks they make good replacement parts. Audio-Technica Belt Drive Turntable

u/zachkirk1919 · 3 pointsr/hiphopvinyl

Yeah man it definitely is not the best player I would save for something different.

Audio Technica AT-LP60BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ze9PBbN8PX02Q

This player is 100 bucks on amazon. I got it on holiday sale for 80 last year. It's far from high end but it will treat your records well and paired with some nice speakers it sounds just fine. It's a great beginning table. I used a player similar to yours for about a year because it was what i could afford before finally upgrading.

Just enjoy the hobby man! I know the struggle of wanting to buy more records instead of buying a better table lol

u/bloodhailing · 3 pointsr/hiphopheads

Hey, so I could use some help getting started on buying a new record player. I just recently got into vinyl and got a record player for Christmas but I've just discovered it sucks ass and may be detrimental to my records. I went on /r/vinyl, I have a Lauson Woodsound record player.

I'm on a budget, though. Altogether, it'd probably have to be below 350 bucks. I've gotten a few recommendations here already that I've kept on hand (/u/TheInfinityGauntlet helped me a lot). If anyone could help me get started putting together a full set up that'd be great. I was going to get this Audio-Technica LP60 but on /r/vinyl they pretty much hate this thing.

To keep this hip hop related, what records do you have on vinyl? Right now the only rap record I have is Orpheus vs. the Sirens.

u/garriusbearius · 3 pointsr/rva

Plan 9 is good, but if you want a decent selection...real talk go to Amazon. Especially if you already have one that's on its last legs, I wouldn't buy used, I feel like you'd just be buying your way into the same problem.

Here is a good option within your price range. You may be able to pick this model up at Plan 9, I feel like I've seen AT turntables in there before, but I've never looked hard enough to know which models.

u/workythehand · 3 pointsr/radiohead

$100 and you could live your dream. Just get a stand alone speaker set up and you're set.

It's not the most amazing piece of equipment in the audio world, but it gets the job done. If you're spending $50 on a CD, you could splurge $100 for a competent turntable. Treat yo'self.

u/CubeWedges · 3 pointsr/vinyl

I was just recently gifted a set of Beatles records from the 80s. I am a huge fan and decided that I wanted to get a vinyl player so I could listen to them the way they were intended. I have a really small budget and after doing some research, I found the Audio Technica AT-LP60. My first question is if this is even an option that won't suck? If it is, then is it worth getting the Bluetooth connectivity for the extra $80? (Here's the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=twister_B01BHMYA9Q?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) Preferably Amazon [New Jersey, USA]

Hey guys!
My girlfriend is a music lover and her birthday is coming up so I wanted to surprise her with a new turntable. Her old Crosley turntable crapped out recently after only one year of use.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff, but after doing a bit of research these are the items I have decided on.

These are the two I am looking at now, but I'm not sure if they are compatible with my set up or will have enough power. Any recommendations on which one I should pick? My budget is pretty tight.

u/BTsBaboonFarm · 2 pointsr/vinyl

> Great. But what about all the people who don't have a personal mentor? Remember, many people buying entry-level turntables these days are young enough that even their parents are too young to have ever used a turntable, or at least not one with a tonearm that needs to be balanced and adjusted.

A person mentor, no, but everyone has access to google and youtube, right? People here ask questions all the time and are referred to sound advice. Again, I can't believe you're suggesting that balancing something is this hard.

> No, it's the one you've never been able to prove. So far your only "proof" is self-reported problems in this one tiny corner of Reddit, which the vast majority of LP60 owners don't even know exists and wouldn't care to join even if they did.

So the hundreds of people posting about issues here over the years don't count? What about all those negative Amazon reviews? Those don't count either? ~20% are 3 stars or less and if you read them you get the idea.

> The only fully functional used turntables I can find around here that aren't in terrible condition and/or missing parts are used AT-LP60s.

Have you looked on craigslist, local record stores, goodwill, etc? Did you look just once and give up, or did you put some effort into it?

Audio Technica my friend told me it's pretty good for the price and the fact that it's my first one.

I'm open up to suggestions of a future upgrade.

That’s the Audio Technica AT-LP60BK. Here ‘s a link to it on Amazon. Not enthusiast grade by any means but it gets the job done.

u/SilentRansom · 2 pointsr/RelientK

This is the one I have. It's a good starter player (it needs speakers though).

It may be tempting to go with a Crosley or something like that, but don't. They're notorious for ruining your records due to how unbalanced they are.

I would search craigslist or yard sales for speakers, maybe even goodwill.

/r/vinyl has a lot of great resources (though the sub can be really pretentious). I would check out their side bar for more info.

> If later I decide to get a sub for the system could I hook an active sub up to the receiver?

Yes, all 5.1 AV Receivers have a subwoofer pre out that you use to hook up a powered subwoofer. I assume when you say active sub, you mean powered sub, right?

> what turntable should I look at when it is time to upgrade?

It really depends how much you are willing to spend. Expect the starting point to be around $90. You might find something cheaper on the used market. In that case, make sure you at least get a new needle cartridge for it. You can't go wrong with anything made by Audio-Technica, Pioneer, or Sony.

This is a good starter turntable: https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60BK-Automatic-Belt-Drive-Turntable/dp/B008872SIO/

Although most enthusiasts prefer something with a direct drive mechanism instead of belt driven such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-LP120BK-USB-Direct-Drive-Professional-USB/dp/B00GA9COMM/

Personally, I think they oversell the benefits of direct drive turntables. For most people, there's not going to be a huge benefit.

Is there any chance you or your gf can return the record player she bought? You can include that cash in the purchase of a better record player? I know it was a gift, but I can't help but feel that she wasted her money on it.

u/Frizkie · 2 pointsr/gorillaz

I own an Audio-Technica LP60, which is really, really good value at $100. The next step up from them is the LP120 which is basically better in every way, but starts around $300.

u/Knightsguy55 · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I got the  Audio Technica AT-LP60BK off of Amazon. I know there's a similar model that has Bluetooth on it that's sold through Urban Outfitters that I personally would've rather bought.

u/AndreHawkDawson · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Whatever you do, do NOT get a Crosley suitcase record player!!

Turntable = Audio-Technica LP60 = $79

Speakers = Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers = $99

Would make for a perfect setup for a beginner!

u/nofftastic · 2 pointsr/explainlikeimfive

It's likely just an abbreviation to keep the various speed (33-1/3, 45, 78) labels consistent (i.e., no fractions). For example, this record player has speeds labelled 33 and 45, but in the description, it specifies that it actually plays at 33-1/3.

u/pashmores · 1 pointr/vinyl

I had an old Bang & Olufsen turntable that no longer works. I was looking to get a new turntable for around $100 and have a question.

I found this one: Original

Then I found the same one with a $100 modification: Modified

If anyone can explain the $100 value in this modification and give advice on which one is the better purchase, it would very much appreciated! Also if anyone has any better ideas for a turn table around this budget that would be great.

Hows this for a first rig to see if I stick with the hobby? I'm less concerned with quality and more wanting to make sure its not one of the bad ones that can damage a record

u/Dogs-Keep-Me-Going · 1 pointr/vinyl

Stay away from those Crosley's, if you can. If you're looking for a cheap (but decent) entry-level turntable, look into the Audio Technica LP 60. Pair them up with a cheap (but decent) set of powered speakers, like the Edifier R1280T.

Total will be about $200, but you'll be much much much better off.

Edit: I don't know anything about the TT in the last link, but it looks ok. Just steer clear of all-in-one type players. Cheers!

Cool! Congrats on your first player and nice song choice! <3

Just thought I'd give you some advice though, your player is perfectly functional but you should look into a upgrade if you start to notice problems. These players work but they run into problems and are kind of infamous for damaging records or some records not playing properly due to their weights being off (the red cartridge in particular is a staple of these types of players)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=psdc_3003611_t2_B07FLTRDJF

I'm looking to buy turntable, stereo, and speakers and am looking to spend around $500, but could go up a bit if necessary. I'm in Cambridge, MA if that matters.

Hi Zeos, I'm looking for a DAC+AMP combo to replace my current Creative X-Fi DAC.
I would prefer to have just one DAC+AMP unit instead of 2 seperate devices but if you recommend otherwise, I'll be open to that too.


Also, I recently got into vinyl and I intend to line in the LP-60 to the DAC+AMP if possible so I don't have to swap cables in and out.


Could you please recommend some options? Thanks!

PS, I just recently stumbled onto your videos and I absolutely got hooked. Love your review style and your honest opinions on products. Keep up the great work!

u/theides81 · 1 pointr/vintageaudio

Do you need speakers too, or just a record player? If you need both, I'd recommend this setup. I have the same record player but a slightly older version of these speakers. It's nothing fancy, but it's all ready to go right out of the box & in my opinion it sounds great. I'm not a hardcore serious audiophile, so I'm sure there are much better options out there, but they're gonna cost you way more than $200.

u/yyiinn · 1 pointr/WeAreTheMusicMakers

If he purely wants to record vinyl for sampling or even just playing back. You could consider the Audio Technica LP60


Its a rather simple player so would suffice for sampling. If he wanted to try DJing or scratching I would not recommend this one though and might want to look at the more expensive Audio Technica LP 120.


Just a couple of options to consider..



[Edit]
the cheaper record player does not have USB on the link I provided but one is available. would be worth finding out first if he needs USB connectivity to sample or not..
ALSO the cheaper player cannot have the cartridge changed. If he did eventually want upgrade he could not with the cheaper option

u/jollyandy · 1 pointr/vintageaudio

What's your budget for a TT? Are you looking for something new? Would you like something that matches the era of the rest of your setup? There's quality in every era and something decent in a lot of price ranges with tons of opinions all over the place.

Personally I'll recommend the Audio Technica AT-LP60BK. It's from a respected brand, audiophile reviews are glowing, and the thing is built solidly. There's not much of a better value for something new at $100. You can be up and running in a couple days.

That said, the joy of vintage is finding something old and special for a steal. If you're patient, you can almost always get something better than what you can buy new, and even with all the advances in electronics over the last 45+ years, I still like the sound of my old pioneer TT that I got for $60 over a new one that cost $300. But that kind of find takes time. All depends on what you want.

u/bjb399 · 1 pointr/vinyl

I'm thinking of getting a budget turntable for a friend for her birthday. She's not an audiophile, but obviously I don't want to get her anything that will ruin records (e.g., a Crosley). I'm thinking of going with the Audio Technica AT-LP60BK. Thoughts or other recommendations in the $100-$150 price range?

u/roboctopus · 1 pointr/citypop

I use an Audio Technica AT-LP60 turntable, which is a decent entry-level turntable. I'm planning on upgrading eventually, but it's good for the price.

My receiver/amplifier is an old 90s Technics model I got on Craigslist for $50. Works fine.

My speakers are just some Sony bookshelf speakers I got years ago. Don't remember the model number. They sound okay to me, but lack bass. I've heard good things about these Pioneer speakers though. Good reviews.

u/yungpipe · 1 pointr/vinyl

My turntable is messed up, an old Technics SL-5 and I am getting rid of it soon, I am going to buy a new one and I'm considering this for the price, will it be good moderate use until when ever I can buy a higher quality one without sacrificing too much on the sound quality department?

As for speakers, I highly recommend these Edifier speakers: https://www.amazon.com/Edifier-R1280T-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B016P9HJIA/ref=sr_1_1 They are powered and produce a really full sound. You'll even see my review on Amazon, look for the Avett posters. :)

If you want to spend a bit more cash, my friend has the Bluetooth version: https://www.amazon.com/Edifier-R1700BT-Bluetooth-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B016PATXSI/ref=sr_1_3

check out /r/vinyl. They'll help you out. Just make sure you don't say vinyls, they hate that lol. the plural of vinyl is vinyl. I'd just call them records and record players.

that being said, this is about 9 euros over-budget, but probably your best bet. If you want the one that has a usb port instead of just analog, it will cost a bit more.

More often than not, record players that try to become an "all in one" are pretty terrible. My personal suggestion would be to get a separate record player that is dedicated to just record playing, a separate amplifier/whatever for the rest of your needs, and feed it all through speakers.

As far as choosing a record player, it all depends on what you want to spend. These days, you can get a pretty darn good one for ~$99 (see AT-LP60). If you want better sound fidelity, the sky is the limit, but that one is pretty darn good for general use for a beginner.

For the other thing, there are like a billion options. Here is the first one I found on Amazon. It may be worth your time (depending on how much you want to spend), to find an amplifier. They often times have this type of functionality built into them, and would be something that could power speakers, as well as hook the record player into.

Speaking of speakers, they are also kind of up in the air, too. You could easily just run them through a simple set of computer speakers using a stereo to 3.5mm cable, or get a nice pair that you would need to drive from an amplifier. Up to you!

is this turnable worth it? i got a cheap one im planning to refund and dont want to spend to much on a turnable but want to play the vinlys gifted to me.

u/AndyP79 · 1 pointr/vinyl

You'll need a record player, wether that is by means of free or purchase, you most likely need an amp also, and speakers.
I would recommend the Audio Technica AtLp60. It's cheap at 100 bucks but gets the job done. Next get an amp. For both of these, look to Amazon. Pick up a used or open box Sony Strdh190. If you don't have one, get an Amazon card, use the gift card to help defray the cost. You could get a beans new amp for less that 100. I recommend this one cause it has a phono input. The AT60 I recommend has a preamp I believe, so you'll actually want to hook it up to input 1. But, this allows you to upgrade your turntable if you come across something better at a thrift store or from a friend later. Not all turntables have preamps, if they don't, hook it to the phono input. If they do, line 1.
If you choose to get into cassettes or CD, you also have inputs for those decks as you come across them cheap.
Speakers. With this setup, you'll want speakers that can handle the newer power levels of a modern amp. 100watts. 6 or 8 ohms. Something like a pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers. The RM 15 I believe is a affordable, new, good sounding speaker. Or some Polks of the same power.
All this, and your set. This isn't going to be everyone's setup, but it gets you started, listenable sound, and upgradable. All this can be had relatively affordable. 100 for the turntable, 125 for the speakers, and less than 150 for the amp if you buy it new. Until you understand more about turntables, avoid used is my suggestion, buy affordable new, nothing to do but follow the instructions.

These are all direct to Amazon links. Look in the used sections to get a deal on some of these and save a few bucks.
Someone mentioned it already also. Do this to love the music. Don't collect records to collect records, it's a rabbit hole of money. Just but the bands you like. Listen to an album online before you buy it to see if you'll like it if you don't know who they are. About the elusive 1dollar bin at the record store. Those records may or may not be in great shape, and do you REALLY care about polkas greatest hits from 1963? All your dad or uncles what they listen to and look for some of those records to rock out to.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

PS, my prices mentioned and names of equipment were approximate, go with what's in the links.

Audio Technica LP60 - https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATLP60-Automatic-Stereo-Turntable/dp/B008872SIO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=audio+technica+lp60&qid=1564288984&s=electronics&sr=1-3

Or A U-Turn Orbit - https://uturnaudio.com/ - I highly recommend U-Turn for beginners, as you can get one built to order with your specific needs / desires, and I have a U-Turn Orbit myself, have owned my record player now for a month and am totally loving it. Also, they're built right here in the USA in Massachusetts and have phenomenal customer service.

In fact I was thinking on that too but found this one of the same brand a lot cheaper:

Audio Technica AT-LP60BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.tZYxbNFPFTA4

The downside it's the lack of support of 78 RPM but if radiohead vinyls are 45 or 33 it would work.

Thanks for the recommendation!

u/residualbraindust · 1 pointr/audiophile

I don't own a turntable myself, but read this article. The suggested Audio Technica AT-LP60 is ~$100 on Amazon. In that same article you can find other suggestions on how to upgrade later to a better one.

u/Terror-Byte-523 · 1 pointr/vinyl

Hello does anyone know if this is a good beginner turn table.

I have an Audio Technica AT-LP60BK, and I have noticed that it plays some records perfectly fine, and some records slightly too fast. I usually play new records, although I have a few oldies as well! The oldies seem to play fine, except for my Blondie record, which plays slightly too fast. All four of my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard records all seem to play fine, also! But, I have a new Washed Out record that plays slightly faster than it should, as well as a Sunbeam Sound Machine record(also new), and they're both quite noticeable to me. But the rest of my new records play fine, alongside most of my oldies, 25 in total. If I gently apply pressure to the middle of the records in question while they are playing, they sound normal! I wonder if it's a problem with the turntable, or the records themselves. I appreciate all help!

u/Gocountgrainsofsand · 0 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This record playeron my wishlist is what I really need. I have a lot of records in my house but I have no real way to play them and I want to enjoy them! Also, I'd like to purchase some more records to play.

u/hack_tc · 0 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

I think a great quality setup would be the Audio Technica AT-LP60 turntable, a Onkyo TX-8020 stereo receiver, and some Philharmonic AAM speakers. The speakers offer an excellent full range, with a slight warmth that lends itself well to vinyl imo. The entire setup listed would probably run $450-500.

But like DZphone said, listing a budget would really help.

u/Zhoutaix · -1 pointsr/vinyl

I should've included that I got a $100 gift card and I'm willing to spend more then that to get a good turntable.

I was looking at this one and was wondering if this one way any good?

u/Rick_Blain · -1 pointsr/vinyl

u/bsd8andahalf_1 · -2 pointsr/vinyl

either i suppose. i once owned a fisher turntable. fisher at the time was highly regarded. you may have difficulty finding a good turntable for $100.00 just sayin'.

here's from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60-Automatic-Driven-Turntable/dp/B008872SIO/ref=zg_tr_3003611_3/179-2459320-7076127
