Hey /mu/, as a person trying to get into vinyl, am I an autist for getting a player like this?

Get the ATLP120. The LP60 doesn't have an adjustable counterweight.
No, you need to at least get a LP120.
go used. anything thats in your price range new is shit

I would really stay away from this, the tone arm on it is shit
OP here, do you guys use headsets for your player, if so, which one?

see, this is what happens when you do nothing but browse /mu/ and actually learn about your gear
Yes, it is good to have an adjustable tonearm on your turn table. That being said, the tonearm on the lp60 has the appropriate tracking force for your normal listening sessions.
I wouldn't play records on it non-stop if you care about the condition of the records, but throwing them on there a few times a month wouldn't hurt them.

and to answer this question, I prefer speakers but if you want to use headphones, it depends on what you're looking for. There's a bunch of guides on the internet for headphones. You can always go with the akg k240 mkII, they're very flat though so don't expect any booming basses or sharp high-ends. They're just good for clarity and hearing the music the way the artist intended.

Oh my god, I'm so sick of you fucking kids falling for the vinyl aesthetic. Vinyl as a format is garbage, digital is superior in every way. If you did not grow up listening to records, then there is no point in investing in the format. The only thing vinyl is good for is a nostalgia trip down snap, crackle, and pop lane. Also if you are serious about getting into vinyl,you should at the very least be looking at the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, anything that cost less is not worth the price and will sound terrible. Do not get the ATLP60 and if you do purchase the ATLP120 You will have to replace the cartridge to get decent SQ out of it and even then the built in preamp will still suck.
What about this? Has a counter weight.

That one is belt driven. You can get an lp120 for $250 and it has direct drive. For a low end table you probably don't want a giant rubber band powering the the whole thing.
