*** quick correction. In the video I said that the cartridge was replaceable on the LP60X, but it’s actually just the stylus.

This was my first time using Da Vinci Resolve after using Premiere for the last few years. Have some work to do on learning color correction and the full audio/graphics suite that's available in that program. Hopefully you find the information within the video helpful!
I'm going to work on improving my color correction, lighting and filming overall in the next vid

    These are the 2 turntables i had narrowed down and really appreciate the comparison. Going with the Sony, mainly for the cleaner look. Thanks!
  • @mikachu177
    this video was exactly what i was looking for! thank you for making vinyl more accessible, I feel super confident in buying my sony TT and starting my vinyl collection!
  • @NotEnoughTP
    I love how they say "budget turntables" when either one will sting like a mutha when I purchase it.
  • @nloop
    Hey! I just posted a video about some of the best starting speakers for vinyl records! Feel free to check it out on my channel! Also, one correction for the video content: I apologize for the incorrect information. The cartridge on the LP60X cannot be changed, but you CAN replace the stylus needle.
  • I got the Sony for my birthday last year and while I'm really enjoying the hobby and keep telling myself that I'll one day upgrade to something bigger and better, at the moment I really don't need to. Super easy to use and sounds great. I'm gonna keep using this thing until it gives me a reason not to.
  • @gurmansingh107
    Thanks for the advice. Keep up with this editing and reviewing skills!
  • @poprockspaceboi
    Good stuff and thank you! I just ordered the AT last night. Clear and concise you are. Thanks again! ~ :)
  • @hypnoconnect
    Loved your review. The fact that its cheap, automatic and bluetooth, even though price is not a factor for me, I still wanna get the LP60. Its smaller (small apartment) and a great starting point. I was considering getting a Technica MK70 or even the 1500c... but I may wait for another model down the line.. and If I upgrade, I can always keep my LP60 as a portable.
  • @user-wx4vw4fn7b
    Top tier video!!!! Also Noah bestie please consider do a video on your fav speakers and headphones 😗
  • @AZG90
    Thanks for the review! Very helpful and detailed. I think I will choose Sony. I have an LG soundbar with a bluetooth Do you think it will pair with the turntable?
  • @sergp286
    Great video! How come you don't have at least couple thousands of subs is beyond me 😅 Keep it up!
  • Sony always delivers very stylish designed products. This is another one of them.The tonearm of the Sony TT is absolutely stunning. Never seen such stylish tonearm. I think all Sony TT must have such. And interesting on that particular model it has automatic start and stop, but on the higher model PS HX500 its all manual. Actually I went with the PS HX500, cause of the Hi Res audio and better overall look and ability to rip vinyls in DSD. It would be great if Sony incorporated the tonearm of this mdoel into ps HX500 and made it fully automatic, then it would be a top seller for sure.
  • @orgasm280
    i have the sony and i love it i love the gain button on the back where you set it low med or high and the sound is awesome i have it connected to my sony receiver through bluetooth and it sounds awesome
  • @Concionator
    Thank you for this video! I'm just deciding whether to buy the Sony PS-LX310BT or the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT.
  • I really like this guy hes my go to when it comes to these kinda things. He just describes things really well and doesn't bore me.
  • @Hawks1980
    Great video, really high production value. I opted for the Sony as my first turntable. I’ll use it Bluetooth mainly as I have a soundbar and surround speakers, but will also pair it with some Edifier active bookshelf speakers
  • @DVASJC
    Straight and to the point. I appreciate these videos and people like you. Great video. I’ve made up my mind. I’m going with the Sony.
  • @Viajero69
    I'm a bit confused as it seems like you said that the AT doesn't allow for converting records to digital audio files, when it appears that model does. I'm referring to the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT. Could it be that you're referring to the AT-LP60X which is stated in the title of your vid, or are you actually reviewing the AT-LP60XBT as shown at the 7:00 mark in the "results" section of your video? Am I missing something?
