You are incredible at explaining everything
Thank you ever so much. You made it very easy and straightforward in less than 10 minutes, which others couldn't do in 45 minutes nonsense videos. God bless 🙏🏼
Excellent video, I'm thinking of buying one of these and after watching your video I probably will get one. Will definitely come back and watch this again when I'm setting it up!
I recently picked up this turntable and so far I love it! Great review and walkthrough here! 👍
Thank you for such an easy to follow process. I would’ve struggled with the written instructions. Now to get those 70s LPs out of the cupboard after a long absence.🦘
Thank you a lot for the step by step tutorial, I just got myself a black LP3 and this video was really helpful! :)
what a great video!! by far the best setup/review video I have seen (not just about turntables but about other things as well). congratss!
Wow, perfect video to set this up! Thank you so much
Thanks man.... Perfectly explained and made setting her up dead easy!
love your insight and passion for vinyl! Keep it up :))
This help me so much!!! Thank u 🥺✌🏽
Blow by blow instruction. Very helpful to newbie like me.

You prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother during the lockdown xD
I'm really enjoying this player. What did everyone upgrade the stylus/cart to? Was eyeing the VM95E, VM95ML, or the VM540ML.
Thanks for your video, but I need help here. I balanced my counterweight, but when I set the tracking force to anything bigger than 1 ( made sure anti skate matches it), the needle won’t touch the vinyl. Zero setting would be fine.
Cheers man .the built in rca leads dont fit with my alesis powered monitors.any suggestions ? iwant this deck... Thank you
Do you know how long the built-in RCA cables are?
I know that model lp 120 is a little more expensive, but which one is better and why?
hi do you think this is a good upgrade from mu lp60 thank yiu
Do I need a receiver or can I just connect the RCA cables at the back of the speakers?
If you were to choose between this and rega p3, which one would you buy? (in terms of performance only, not budget)
Would you put a Red ortofon on this player? What's a better upgrade to this player please??
That helps a lot. Thanks for the video. Just one question, it would be possible to connect the RCA cables to an 3.5mm jack and sound good?

Thanks! There are RCA/3.5mm adaptors that can go between those two ports, and shouldn't adversely affect sound quality.

What are the measurements of the RCA cable? They are not removable right? is it a direct cable to the speakers? Pleasee
Hey man, is it true that because this tt is fully automatic and returns its tonearm after the record is finished (I'm guessing it decides that according to the size of the vinyl), you can't play locked groove if the vinyl got one after the end of the vinyl record?
Would you or could you swap out red 2m ortofon? Is it a dumb move?
Is this your favorite automatic?
I wanna party with this guy! Ammirite!? 😆🤘
Question -------> About the "Ground".. I am bout to buy this turntable next week.. Looked on back of my speakers.. There is nowhere can put the Ground hookup.. There are no silver metal screws.. Only thing it does have is the black and red switches where would put wires into.. Would i still be able to use this turntable?? Thanks and all the best......, Mark...........
What is the price in Amazon and want black colour
what if you have a 10" 78rpm?
what size mm that cork mat sir? 3 mm ?
Hi, very helpful review, in the process of buying 1. Wanting to upgrade cartridge, looking at at-vm95en or 2m blue. Can I get your thoughts/recommendations. Is it worth doing with this table? Regards M.

I,ve upgraded my LP-3 with at-vm95 en the sound is more clearer and the soundstage sounds wider...Also more detail in the songs.

I did the same. I have the ATVM95EN orange cartridge. Sound is amazing. I also upgraded the mat to a FunkFirm Achromat.
Thanks! What do you prefer between this and the sony ps-lx310bt?

This turntable is definitely better because it is way more upgradable and easier to replace the stylus
Seems like quite a haassle to get going here. I imagine if you do it right, clear sailing for the most part.

Not as bad as it looks and the sound is worth it
Thanks for the video. Once I corrected adjusted the tone arm to below 2, I was no longer hearing horrific noises 😅 but the sound is only coming out of the left speaker (it comes out both when I pair the speakers with my phone). Anyone know why?

I have a very similar model (LP3XBT) and had the same problem at first. Turns out I had the counterweight placed too far forward on the tonearm. Moving it back a bit and lowering the weight solved the problem.

@@danielshramek2709 right thanks for clarifying it.
It would be nice to see you answer more than 2 or 3 questions from people who took the time to watch this. Just sayin.
Before watching hoped it would be direct drive. Belt drive is my disappointment.
Don't understand why AT discontinued this model, given it's popularity?
