Audio-Technica’s AT-LP60XBT wireless belt-drive turntable: A great record collection deserves a great record player

If you want to introduce someone to the everything-sounds-better-on-vinyl analog addiction, look no further than the AT-LP60XBT wireless belt-drive turntable.

Easy to use and with an audio quality that can’t be beat, this is the go-to choice for those in need of a sound system upgrade. This is especially true if they’re new to vinyl, still rocking with a vintage spinner from the 1960s, or worse, that janky suitcase turntable all of the hipsters had in 2014. A great record collection deserves a great record player, right?

Audio-Technica’s AT-LP60XBT will not only treat those LPs with care, but it also comes with some modern bells and whistles that grandpa’s gramophone couldn’t even imagine. The streamlined design is Bluetooth enabled, allowing users to listen to their vinyl through speakers or headphones without wasting time with all that pesky plugging and unplugging. This is especially convenient for first-time turntable owners, as they are able to hook it up to any device with Bluetooth functionality, meaning there’s no need to go out and buy a new set of speakers.

And it’s not just your average Bluetooth either – thanks to a CSR BT chipset, the player is even compatible with aptX codec devices, which sound quality fanatics know allows for a much higher fidelity than the standard SBC code. However, if your recipient still wants to go for that old-school vibe (or they’re partial to a set of speakers that pre-dates the Bluetooth era), the device still has the necessary jacks to use a RCA output cable.

The turntable has a simple and stylish design that will add a classy touch to any aesthetic, whether they’re the type that keeps their records spilling messily out of milk crates or mounted on a feature wall. Coming in black and white, it has an anti-resonance aluminum platter, a removable clear dust cover, and a diamond stylus that can be replaced if it gets worn down. With over a half century of experience in the analog game, Audio-Technica has really pulled out all the stops with this one. Now all that’s left to do is log on to Discogs and snap up the newest release.
