If anyone is interested in Bose equipment (I know some people have a love/hate with Bose), and are in the market for new headphones or speakers, let me know**. I have a 30-40% discount at work.
**gonna be up front bc of the last time I did this. this is only for people active on the board. please don't barrage me with PMs if you're new to the board, a lurker, or have minimal posts. this is also for people who don't suck, so don't even try, Ruddo. Just kidding .

Also, I really only have a handful of records right now. Once a get a few more, I can upgrade to the LP120 or something else.
I'd suggest this. The huge downside with the LP-60 is that it doesn't have a weight on the tone arm--you can buy an amazing cart to help improve sound quality, but you won't be able to adjust the weight on the arm to the manufacturer's suggested setting. If you've got any rare LPs you want to play forever, maybe hold off on spinning them too much.
Would this be a better option? $100 cheaper than the AT-120.
I know AT seems to be the preferred brand around here, but this has the weighted tone arm and also has a Texas Instruments pre-amp, which was in my old beloved Yamaha stereo receiver.

I also like the look of it.
I guess it doesn't play 78s.
Ill throw in 20 bucks to help you get the LP120. You may not have a lot of records now but you will soon. ive seen it time and time again. The itch is intense and you'll end up with more records soon enough.
I think its wise to start with a decent table right off the bat and the lp120 can last you for years upon years. Its such a perfect entry level table that allows for substantial upgrades.
I've been using the AT-60 for 5+ years now and love it. It sounds great and has taken a beating from my daughter falling into it, slamming books and cups down on the lid, etc. Never had any issues with it. My ears are shit, though (team "laurel").
I have this guy in my fancy listening room but almost never use it because who has time for that?

I have the Walnut one with the Ortofon Red. It's been great.

It's been steady and reliable for the few years I've had it so far. I haven't had to deal with customer service but they are in Massachusetts and pretty easy to deal with from what I understand. You can build out something that you want rather than take whatever configuration you're given (i.e. cartridge choice, ect.)
