This is a feature that does not come as standard on the LP60. But there is a USB version of the LP60 whitas well. The AT-LP60USB. 15. Colors We've identified (4) key differences: the tonearm design, the external power supply, the output connection, and the overall aesthetics. The LP60BT is a super-convenient, super-simple and compact vinyl solution. It sounds pretty good for what it is, and the added benefit of Bluetooth streaming makes it a neat budget option for modern, casual record fans. Recording from vinyl is a simple process too. Files can be ripped as 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz WAVs by connecting your PC or laptop to the turntable’s USB type B output, then using the supplied Audacity software to process them. While the standard version of the AT-LP60 does not come with Bluetooth connectivity, there is a version that does. The AT-LP60BT.

This same chassis, manufactured by the Chinese turntable OEM outfit Hanpin, has been used in many a turntable over the years. They mostly come from brands such as Sony, Aiwa, Kenwood and Pioneer to name a few, who wanted to re-introduce a low-cost turntable during the decline of the vinyl format but didn’t want to go to the effort and cost of designing a new model themselves. Most of them have full automatic operation and a good number share the phono preamp, with variations in platter material, USB and Bluetooth functionality, pitch control etc. They are all basically identical however, and it’s probably fair to assume that their sales figures over time are heading towards millions of units if they haven’t long surpassed that already. Suffice it to say that there are a lot of them out there, and probably a good few still spinning records.While being a nicely deigned affordable turntable, the LP60 just can’t catch up with the wow factor of its bigger brother. And frankly, not many turntables can. 2. Ease of Use

As such, it’s a more articulate listen. The LP60 and the LP120 differ in many ways. But when it comes to popularity, it is hard to place one over the other. They are both huge successes with lots of fans and have been so for many years. It is very hard to think of a turntable that overcomes these two in popularity.
