That has happened to many people! You want to buy a turntable, but it turns out that you need to buy a lot of extras to make it work: pre-amps, cables, speakers, etc. You end up paying a fortune. I know, you just want to listen to your old records!

I wrote this article for those who need an easy way to play their records. A plug-and-play unit with built-in speakers. No need for complicated stuff, or buying extra components. Just sit down, relax and enjoy your favorite vinyl music.

So, you are looking for a decent turntable, but you don’t want to empty your wallet. If you have read my turntable buying guide, then you know that under $200 you can find decent turntables with magnetic cartridge, but without speakers. All-in-one units and record players with built in speakers in this price range are generally low quality.

When I was compiling a list of the best turntables under 200, I realized that we cannot compare apples to oranges. In this article I’m focusing only on manual turntables without speakers, the ones with removable cartridge, counterweight and anti-skate. If you are looking for an automatic turntable, read the article The Best Automatic Turntable Under $200. If you need a player with built in speakers, read The Best Turntable With Speakers Under $200.

My readers often ask me to recommend speakers to use with the Audio Technica AT-LP60 USB and AT-LP120 USB. Receivers are expensive and many people prefer to have few things around to avoid clutter. I thought it would be helpful to write an article for people needing a simple audio setup for their turntable. The information on this article applies to any turntable that has RCA LINE level outputs, not just the AT-LP60 USB.

Imagine the following scenarios:

“Every time I pass by that box lying in the corner of the storage room, I wish I could listen to those old vinyl records and revive those memories from my childhood…”

“Some of my old favorite records never came out on digital format. I wonder if there’s a way to transfer them to my mobile device…”

“My favorite band just released a new album in vinyl format. Unfortunately, I don’t have a record player …”

“I’m thinking about buying a turntable but I don’t want to go broke. I don’t want to buy a cheap turntable either because it can damage my records and I love good sound quality…”

“I need an easy to use player, don’t want to mess up with a manual turntable with complicated adjustment features.  I just want to push a button and enjoy listening to my beloved LP albums…“

I frequently find reviews and comments from people that want an easy solution to transfer their vinyl records to a digital media. Many vinyl lovers don’t like messing with audio recording software. Some of the USB turntables I have reviewed like the Audio Technica AT-LP60 USB and the Jensen JTA-230 come with the audio recording software Audacity. Many users find this software difficult to use and the recording process time consuming. So, I thought it would be good to provide my readers with information about turntables that have the ability to record directly to a storage media, like a USB Flash Drive, CD, SD Card or mobile devices.

Welcome to Mushelix, the turntable reviews website

Hello my fellow vinyl lover. I’m glad you found our website and I think you’ll be glad too because we are going to make your turntable research a lot easier and your shopping experience a much better one.

My name is Francisco and I’m here to help you find the right record player for you. I know how much time it takes to research a product on the interment, reading tons of reviews and user guides, asking questions in forums and reading through blogs. I’ve been there, I have some vinyl albums that did not make it to the digital era. I needed a turntable to transfer my favorite vinyl albums to my computer. I had to research turntables and took me a while to decide the right one for me. I want to share my experience with you. That is why I created this website, so that you don’t have to go through all that hassle.

In this article I’ll explain how we write our reviews, what criteria we follow and the sources of information we use. If you need more detailed information, you can consult our turntable buying guide.
