AT-LP60.jpgSome people are just discovering vinyl records, causing them to make a comeback. Some people never threw their old vinyl out. Helping both audiences is the Audio-Technica AT-LP60, an automated belt-driven turntable coming out just in time for holiday giving. The AT-LP60 has a built-in phono preamp so it can connect directly with your computer as well as a stereo or other audio components.

The AT-LP60 offers a metallic-gray finish and a rounded corner design. The package includes connecting cables, a hinged removable cover, and a 45 RPM adapter. A one-touch button places the pickup arm on the vinyl, and it automatically lifts off at the end of a side. I like that it comes with both RCA and 3.5mm connection cables. It'll be available in December for a list price of $149.

I'm glad for this comeback for the vinyl;
reminds me of the Technics SL 1600 direct drive,
which I still have and still play vinyl in the basement

Nice machine. Most of the ones I see today for computers don't allow a direct connection to your stereo. Now I can play the 100,000 records in the store. http://www.Forevervinyl.com. Scott.

Wow - that's actually really nice, especially for the audiophiles who have tons of vinyl. I'm not especially an audiophile and love my direct drive turntable (but I'm not going for quality when I put my records on, obviously) but I can totally recognize how people would love this - especially at the price point.
