Saw a teardown of one of these and honestly think it looks great. I don't need one but I'm pleasantly surprised to see AT put more effort than they needed to into making this a quality product at a decent price point. For most young people getting into vinyl I honestly think the new Sound Burger might be the best choice on the market due to built in bluetooth/preamp and the easy setup without fussing with cart tracking/alignment/tonearm height etc. Certainly miles better than any of the usual big box/department store options and more straightforward than the AT-LP60X. Not to mention more fun. 23 hours ago, Grahame said: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/28/taylor-swift-and-rolling-stones-drive-christmas-surge-in-uk-vinyl-sales Seems like every record store I've walked into recently has had at least one young person in there looking for T Swift.
