Its a lovely turntable. I have a white LP3 and replaced the rubber mat with a Funk Firm Achromat. Sounds amazing!

I like the song

Good sounding

I added a vinyl mat and LP Gear Vessel Microline cart with a Vincent PHO-8 preamp. It sound like any other high end turntable with these upgrades. I did change the plastic feet for a solid aluminum one inch feet with rubber isolators. That really keeps vibrations out along with the vinyl mat (white for my white TT).

Wow! That preamp is about £300 isn’t it? More than the turntable! Did you really notice a difference? And do you guys know what cartridge/stylus this one is? I’m thinking of starting with upgrading that to the Orfono 2M Red but just wondering if there would be much difference. Where did you guys get the feet from? Cheers! :-)

@@mrjaffa1013 I have the LP Gear Vessel A3SV microline cartridge which works oh so well. Someone says it's an entry level, but what does that mean? I has a speed control built in, option to use any phono preamp, and add better feet. It uses an identical headshell to the Denon DP-300, so I ordered the silver one to match the arm on the white model. Although you cannot add an acrylic platter, you can add an acrylic mat (similar effect). It's as cheap or expensive as your sound requirements. You can use virtually any cartridge with it for excellent results.

D. Paul Gladstone I ended up upgrading the whole TT and bought the Rega Planar 3. Looks and sound great but love the upgrades you’ve done on this. I’m probably going to sell my LP3 now even though it’s a great TT. But don’t need both :-)

Hi I’m considering getting either this one or a less popular turntable TEAC TN-400BT. It comes with an AT95E cartridge and a similar functionality to that of LP3. Which would you recommend?

@polawo

Hey! Ohh I cannot comment on the TEAC as I haven't had any experience with it. But I do know this one sounds very nice if you plan on using an external phono amp.

I'm confused. The RCA inputs on the X-FI HD are dedicated for phono, which will add further RIAA equalization on top of the RIAA added by the StudioPhono. Is there a way to bypass it?

@polawo

5 жыл бұрын

Ah yes so the X-FI HD has both phono input and normal Line In RCA input. So I plugged the phono preamp into the X-FI HD's Line In instead of its phono input. Hope that helps :-)

Only styluses I know that works on the LP60 are the AT3600L and the LPGear option. If you want to play around with different carts/stylus you need a table with adjustable counterweight and 1/2" mounting hardware. H4 headshell mount is the easiest and most common.

The LP3 is the better turn table with sound quality compared the the lp60 xbt. The LP3 does have a built in preamp so you can plug it into an AV as it is. Hope that helps!

just sold my vintage 1974 direct drive pioneer pl71 TT. getting older, me. as i age was looking for fully automated TT. i was familiar with at91r cartage as i used it on my vintage TT along with at95e. both track at 2 grams. thats kwhere you want to be. tracking at 2 grams. some receivers have good phono stages, some dont. one of units has no phono hookup so i had to go line level into an aux port. so i got phono MM for about 80 dollars. incredible sound. that at91r cartage with bass treble exploded. so i was using the phone stage on my vintage TT. i hooked up another phone preamp, if zen about 120 dollars. wow my at95e cart was singing. go line level with a preamp under 100 dollars. plus at91r is a better cart than at3600 on entry level TT. hope this helps.

How much does using an external preamp improve the sound compared to using the turntable's built-in preamp?

@polawo

5 жыл бұрын

A massive difference! I was using the built in preamp first and it was a little flat and I just was a little disappointed. I then tried with the preamp and it was full of life and very musical. It made a huge difference. However, it will greatly depend on the pre amp. The Mobile Fidelity is a very musical preamp and gives good bang for buck.

Which stereo system are you using? So this amplifier uses analog RCA cables which should plug into the stereo. On the back of the stereo it should have several inputs and the analog RCA should be one of them.

It is not a stupid question but lackness of the right information.This unit is not transferrring sound to speakers but think of a bridge between your turntable and the amplifier.Not L or R always are related to speakers..It's been 4 years that you asked this and I am pretty sure you have gained some wisdom about the musical systems :)

That's a good selection using the MoFi cartridge. I would also suggest an acrylic mat to replace the rubber one. Your sound will improve noticeably. Also some aluminum feet with rubber isolaters is a cheap but effective upgrade.

Honestly - it was night and day for me. Before the external preamp, I found the sound so flat, dull and disappointing. It just was not engaging. Then I put on the external preamp and it was amazing. I used to have a Rotel A10 previously and I used the "phono in" on the Rotel. It also sounded amazing with that.

Hi, would you explain what characteristics are this LP3 actually sounds like compared to the LP60xBT? Cause I have this LP3 with its original cartridge (AT91R) and it sounds muffled compared to the LP60xBT.. lack detailed and lack clarity.

For phono preamp, I would get the Rega Fono Mini A2D or the Cambridge Audio Solo.

Just keep thinking it is budget because of price. What HiFi magazine in London gave it a 5 star, and few turntable ever get that score. A turntable must operate properly, and this one does. The weak link is the cartridge, and I'm using a $260 Vessel A3SV line contact cartridge from LP Gear, and it could handle one much more expensive than that.
