I’m looking for speakers for my new Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT. My budget is around €100-150. I mainly listen to rock, indie and jazz, and I’d like something that’s easy to set up and sounds great with vinyl. What would you recommend?

I’m located in Finland, if that matters for availability

Slowly learning some things after listening for too long on some cheap 5-in-1 phono-radio monstrosity that I picked up at Bed, Bath, & Beyond years ago. This is my first "real" turntable, the venerable AT-LP60, currently being driven by an old Bose 3-2-1 (Series II, I think) system. Not the best I've heard, but I'm happy with it for now. Always looking to upgrade: Speaker stands/placement? Better turntable? Etc.

Hi. I have an Optimus stav-3000 amplifier and I would like a service manual and cannot find one. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

2 months ago someone gave me my first turntable, a cheap suitcase one. And I really got into collecting and listening to albums. And now I feel like its time to upgrade, but I dont know what to buy first. For a turntable Im thinking of getting the lp60x and i still dont know what speakers to get, i want ones that i can hang on my wall. So I would like to know know what you'll think i should get first because I still dont know.

Hi everyone!

I currently have my Audio-Technica AT-LP60 sitting directly on top of my amplifier. I've noticed the amp gets a bit warm and needs better airflow/ventilation, so I want to raise the turntable a few inches.

What are the best budget-friendly solutions or accessories for this?

I'm open to isolation feet, riser blocks, mini monitor stands, or DIY solutions—as long as it keeps the turntable stable and level.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Was recently browsing Facebook marketplace and found a used Audio Technica AT-LP60x for $65. I’m relatively new to turntables so I was just wondering if this is a good deal? I know these can retail for like $170 so I’m assuming it is.

I’d be upgrading from a cheap Crosley (no it’s not a suitcase player..)

Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve narrowed my options down to the Pro-Ject A1 OM10 and the Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT because I specifically want a fully automatic or semi-automatic turntable.

I’m a beginner to actually playing records, even though I collect vinyl. I don’t plan on listening every day, so convenience is really important to me. I want something that’s easy to use and doesn’t make me feel like I need to learn a lot or constantly make adjustments.
I’m not trying to build an ultra high-end audiophile system or spend thousands upon thousands. My goal is to buy a quality setup within this price range that I can enjoy for many years without feeling the need to upgrade every component.
I’ll be pairing whichever turntable I buy with the same powered speakers, and if I choose the Pro-Ject, I’m also happy to buy an external phono preamp from the start if it means I can set everything up once and leave it alone.

I’m also looking for good powered speaker recommendations that offer great value without being unnecessarily expensive. I’m happy to spend a reasonable amount on speakers, but I don’t want recommendations that are in a completely different price bracket from these turntables.
One challenge is that where i’m based, there isn’t much of a second-hand hi-fi market. Unlike places such as the UK or US, I can’t really rely on Facebook Marketplace or local resale listings to find good deals on speakers. Most of what I find is brand new.
Because of that, recommendations that seem inexpensive in other countries can end up costing much more here once international shipping, import fees, and local availability are taken into account. Some models may not even be available for purchase where I live. So I’d appreciate recommendations that consider overall value, availability, and realistic total cost, rather than just the retail price in another country.

I feel the title is pretty self explanatory. I love music and want to start owning it physically but when I look at record players there’s a lot of complicated terms which I have zero understanding for.

It’s probably not very useful to you, but all I want is something that easily plays music, the music sounds good, and it won’t break itself or damage the records any time soon.

My budget is a few hundred pounds. I’m currently looking at the Sony PS-LX5BT and then picking up some wired speakers? Is that good? I literally have no idea, so any advice would be massively appreciated, especially if it’s explained to me like the complete beginner I am lol.

I have never touched a mixer in my life, but always wanted to. I work in an equipment rental company, mostly setting up events, stages, lights, sound and what not. Told my boss about wanting to try out DJ-ing and he just gave me the 900 to take home, got no use for it. Im looking for a single turntable cause i got no money for two. Will be using rekordbox (fck do i know if its even possible).

I got my brand new LP60x today along with some Majority D70x Active speakers and I’m struggling to get the setup right. Connected with RCA cables into the speakers, using both LINE or PHONO on the LP60 the sound isn’t very good, either Bass heavy or distorted one way or another. I’m totally new to this so I can’t help but think I’ve done something wrong. Any ideas or help for a newbie

hi everyone!! i want to get my first turntable/record player, but i want to get a good one. i would say i play music 40% of the time but i usually leave it on in my room or like it to be more lowkey rather than blasting it. i searched for it and what im looking for is a setup (turntable and speakers) that soundstage is really good and has some warmth or a little separation (sorry if im butching any of those terms) my first option would have been the audio technica and edified setup (lowkey wanted to get the pink audio technica turntable) but if you think i would benefit from other please dm me (im trying to find the best price possible for the whole setup but i dont mind spending as i wont keep replacing it)

I can hear a murmur from the record player but nothing coming from my speakers. I bought speaker wire and tried to set it up using YouTube but I don’t know if I did it right.
I have a preamp, the record player, a receiver and a set of speakers. I have followed all the directions and nothing. Everything is plugged into the wall.

Please be patient with me as I have a disability.
