Turn table for my kid???
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 |
Not asking too much. $250 for a turntable, $250 for powered speakers. If you are buying new, I still stand by the Audio Technica LP120. I have owned the turntable and have set it up for a few friends' systems. Go to any Guitar Center or professional DJ/ music shop if you wish to audition it. You may save some bucks if you buy a used/ vintage TT, but you will need to know how to perform basic clean-up and lubrication duties. Your call. As for powered speakers, there are several companies out there to choose from ... Audio Engine, PSB, Emotiva, Klipsch. They are only going to play so loud, so for a small room system, you will be fine. See, not so tough. Rich |
