I actually envy people who can enjoy music no matter the quality of reproduction. But I'd rather not listen at all than listen to poor quality audio. I've been this way all my life.

I have had to turn off a show streaming through my old as hell Roku because the compression was so bad and everyone sounded like snakes. I blame you for poisoning my ear with the devil's juice of analogue sources.

My first turntable when I was 12 wasn't all that. Everyone starts somewhere. I just wish that somewhere wasn't the LP60. And that's the nicest way I can put it.

I bought my daughter one of the TMR branded Jensens which is a essentially a Crosley with a different name. Everyone does have to start somewhere, but I’m not known for mincing words either. My take is that if you have one, cool, welcome to the hobby you can only go up from here. If you haven’t bought one, don’t. Just don’t. I don’t think it’s snobbery to say the truth in that they’re a poorly constructed table that are bad for records. Hell, I’d rate the Crossley higher because it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.

I want to scream this to my brother in-law who bought an Ion "real wood" turntable. It's awful.

I try to ignore their existence. I get budgets and all but.....no. The $199 Fluance is an infinitely better choice.

Because I don't want to come off like a snob (because I'm not as those who have met me can attest) I generally avoid any discussion involving the LP-60. You asked a direct question so....

Just wanted to hear your thoughts. I know a lot of people speak of them as a better alternatives to all in ones despite having some of the same issues.
 
What's with Storf writing a puff piece on a Thomas Rhett album? I listened to the sample in the article. I hate to lick a dead horse, but as a Southerner I can say I'm sick to death of pop country. You can wrap it up in as pretty a bow as you want with an article. It's still trash
