I originally went with the AT LP60XBT when I started buying records a few months ago but replaced it pretty quickly with a Fluance RT82 (using the default Ortofon cartridge) and a ART DJPREII preamp (though as a long time user of Schiit Audio equipment, I'm thinking about picking up a Mani at some point). The AT sounded fine, but I like to tinker, and the idea of a non-replaceable cartridge started to eat at me a bit.
