The flagship Marley deck: auto start/stop, a VM95E cartridge, aptX HD Bluetooth and the signature solid-bamboo plinth. Sold in the US as the Stir It Up Lux Wireless.
Model history: The Stir It Up Lux upgrades House of Marley's original Stir It Up, swapping the aluminium platter for glass, fitting a redesigned tonearm and headshell that needs less tracking force, and stepping up from a conical AT3600L stylus to an elliptical Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge.

Who it suits
Best suited to: a first serious turntable for an existing or planned amp-and-speakers setup. Less ideal for: plugging straight into passive speakers with no amp — check the built-in phono stage row above, and note most hi-fi decks still need external amplification.
Good to know
- Has a built-in phono stage, so it can feed a normal line input on an amplifier or powered speakers without a separate phono box.
- Direction not verified. Check the manufacturer connection instructions before choosing wireless speakers.
- Has a USB output for recording vinyl to a computer.
