Let us know how it is. I've been into vinyl for years but have never had a USB turntable.

USB is useless IMO. It just doesn't make sense.

The AT-LP120-USB leaves a lot to be desired and needs substantial upgrades from cart to replacing the built in pre-amp, new platter mat. It only seems heavy because there is a metal plate in the base meant to deceive.

There are lots of better options especially if you do some research and look for used TT on AudioGone, CL, eBay etc.

But either way if used as an entry TT into vinyl it's a good thing, but I would be skeptical it would leave a user feeling lack luster and lose interest in the hobby. I've seen it happen a lot, but then again not everyone is an audiophile like myself.

Do you need powered speakers? I'm looking for a vinyl player I can use with my turbothrusters which aren't powered.

Congrats! Welcome to a whole new world :)

You should look for used vinyl store or vintage type store. New vinyl while amazing is is pricey, you could enjoy digging into music of generations before us.

There's a lot of music to discover!

Oh and pro-tip, get yourself a mr.clean magic eraser and gently use it to clean the tip of the needle.

Also you need a static brush and an RCA style vinyl cleaner

Edit: Also get some compressed air (I'm sure you have this) to blow the vinyl clean before dropping the needle.

Not bad ideas at all.

Also if you really want to get technical you can use this tool

Custom arc template generator for phono cartridge alignment (also prints nice strobe disks)

Did you get the tone arm zero and tracking force set?

Yeah, it felt like it took ages (like 2 minutes) for me to zero it out so it was balanced and I wasn't exactly sure why it had to be balanced before then making it unbalanced but eventually it kinda clicked of 'oh you want to make sure you ONLY apply this much pressure'. I felt kinda like a derp for mentally not understanding what it was at first lol.

I found that AT offers a print out to use, I might do that.

I love spending an entire afternoon in the record store. One of the punk places I go to lets me drink beer while I browse.

New or used? A new one for $80 is likely garbage.

Hey when the gettins good!

I used to frequent a place about 75 minutes from me when I worked in that area. I learned a lot by picking through there weekly.

The guy lived in an apartment above the store and would just sit there and spin vinyl all day. The man found his dream lol

I wish there was a record store in my town. I'd be there on the daily just to hang out. Ordering records online is great too, but not the same as being there.

November's going to be good for records. 3 paycheck month!!!!
