I've had this model for about a week now and have been using it for a few hours every day. In my opinion it is a little over-priced, and I only got it because I had a gift voucher to put towards it. The LP60x is a little plastic-y in its construction but it looks nice paired with the rest of my stereo setup and sounds fine. I have it connected to an early 1980s amplifier along with some semi-decent speakers I found at the op shop and I have no complaints. Records sound nice and full and it is a pleasure to operate. For a budget turntable this is a good choice, although maybe wait for the price to drop.
