Hello! I have a question that seems quite divisive on these subs... Is the LP60X still a good beginner turntable?

I got into collecting records earlier this year and I'm in love with it. I started with a victrola suitcase player for a few days before I decided I wanted a real setup. This is all I could afford at the time, but I am receiving a bonus at work next month and I was wondering if it's even worth upgrading? I was looking at the LP120X

I'm not sure about moving to a fully manual turntable, and I can't decide if the sound quality or my experience will really be that much better with a 120X. What do you all think? I'm still new to this hobby - does the LP60X cut it for someone who really just wants an automatic turntable to listen to records at a normal audio quality? I'm not an audiophile by any means so I don't even know if i would notice a difference with a higher end turntable.

Basically just wondering if an upgrade is worth it if I am currently pretty happy with my setup, if you all think so.

And yes, I know the speakers should be on their own stands but I don't have space for that at the moment 🤪

Before and after. That little table I bought in the first pic claims to hold 220 records... My ass!! Maybe if you keep them out of the sleeve but who does that? Anyway, big upgrade to this cube shelf that cost less than that stupid tiny record player stand in the first pic.

What's next? I'm saving up for an AT-LP120x, do you all think that's a good player? I currently have Edifier R980T speakers - any good upgrades there to match?

Big iron is a banger

Been collecting records for... A month and a half LOL. I have spent way too much money on this hobby it's insane.

Saw this for $20 and couldn't resist picking up the album that reminds me of being a teenager again
