Upgrades that fit the AT-LP60X

Audio-Technica makes the ATN3600LE, with an elliptical tip, which fits the same AT3600L cartridge. It pushes into the same body as the standard ATN3600LC, so you change only the needle. The standard ATN3600LC has a conical tip.

Do you need a phono preamp?

A phono preamp boosts the very quiet signal from the cartridge.

The AT-LP60X has one built in that you can switch off, so it plugs straight into powered speakers, or into an amplifier’s phono input with it switched off.

How to change the needle on the AT-LP60X

Questions about the AT-LP60X

Does the AT-LP60X need a separate phono preamp?

No. The AT-LP60X has a phono preamp built in, and you can switch it off. Leave it on for powered speakers or a line input, or switch it off to use an amplifier with its own phono input.

Is there an upgrade needle for the AT-LP60X?

Can I fit a different cartridge to the AT-LP60X?

No. On the AT-LP60X the AT3600L cartridge is built into the tonearm, so only its needle can be replaced.
