If you already have speakers you could replace the full size amp with a mini amp.

A stylus upgrade for the LP60 from conical to elliptical is LP GEAR CFN3600LE $29 or with a new belt $39.

TURNTABLES:

With a built in phono stage preamp:

Starter turntables:

  • Automatic: AT-LP60X $139 is easy setup plug and play and has some improvements over the older discontinued AT-LP60.
  • Manual: Victrola VPRO-2000 $149 adds adjustable tracking force, a removable cartridge, pitch control, Quartz lock and a stroboscopic platter over the AT-LP60X.
  • Manual lower budget turntables: Insignia NS-BTST21 $129 adds a speed sensor. Or there is also the Crosley C6 $129.

Better manual turntable:

  • Fluance RT82 $299 adds auto stop and then an optical sensor speed controlled servo motor for much lower wow and flutter and speed variation. Pass on the older RT80 and RT81 that lack the new speed sensor. Pass on the RT83 since the cartridge is not any better.

More turntables $199 to $349 with a speed sensor, a basic built in phono stage preamp, but no auto stop that the Fluance has:

Or look for a better vintage turntable from a seller who fixes them up and has them ready to demo for you before buying it.

What is a Craigslist or nearby zip code to search for used options?

  • 4" Edifier 1010BT $55 starter speakers with Bluetooth then upgrade later.
