2. Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT
The AT-LP60XBT offers the same outstanding features as the optimized fully automatic belt-driven stereo turntable AT-LP60X, enhanced with a Bluetooth interface. This allows the turntable to connect with Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and other wireless devices. Thanks to the CSR-BT chipset, the AT-LP60XBT is even compatible with devices that support the aptX codec – providing noticeably better audio quality than the standard SBC codec.
Of course, the AT-LP60XBT can also be operated like a traditional turntable via a wired connection. Both options, wireless or wired, guarantee an exceptional audio experience – particularly convenient due to the fully automatic operation, controlled by front-mounted start, stop, and tonearm lift buttons.
For over 50 years, Audio-Technica has been recognized as a leading manufacturer of phono cartridges, and this extensive experience benefits the dual magnet cartridge of the AT-LP60XBT, which features a replaceable stylus. For a particularly straightforward setup and reliable performance, the cartridge has been integrated into the headshell in this model.
