This turntable requires assembly but is easy to set up and use. The sound quality output is really good though I recommend you use a receiver with phono amplication like the cheap Sherwood RX4109 2-Channel 100 Watts Stereo Receiver (Black) rather than a turntable's built-in preamp. It can run automatically, featuring a start and stop button that will take care of buisness as long as you have the right size and speed set, or you can just use the arm raise/lower switch to do things manualy, and it always pulls the arm at the end of recordings regardless of how it's used. The cartridge and belt are apparently replacable and upgradable, and between USB, line out and phono out you have plenty of options for connections.
However it doesn't track amazingly well even on a new, clean record, and it has trouble maintaining speed. This may mean it really needs a belt upgrade, or maybe it just has a weak motor. In any event, after playing through about one side of a LP it starts slowing down appreciably, with a minute's worth of sound played over about 65-70 seconds and notes all going flat (guitars standard turned sounded like they were Eb). If I want to play both sides or more than one record it starts slowing down appreciably (I synced songs on records to songs on other media and they finished well ahead of it). It cost me $75, I guess you get what you pay for, and I may return it and get a direct drive model.Get more detail about Audio Technica AT-PL60USB Fully Automatic Belt Driven Turntable with USB Port.
