I was needing help with which of these record players to get. I was set on the LP60XBT, however now I’ve read about it and there seems to be a large focus on Bluetooth. I will be running this record player through the Spartan helot 2x tube amp and a pair of sennheiser HD650s. I won’t have much use for Bluetooth. What worries me is that in the LP60XBT quality has been sacrificed for Bluetooth accessibility. Would I be better off getting the LP60X then? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'd just be paying the extra $70 for Bluetooth that you don't need.

If you have the budget, why not go up to the next-step AT turntable, the AT-LP3, which is in a clearance sale at US Audio-Technica for $199. I don't know if the same deal is available in the UK but...

(Also check for other sales--I got mine on a one-day Amazon drop for $149.) Mine is reliable and solid.

The drive and the cartridge on the AT-LP3 are both upgrades from the AT60X.
