Sony PS-LX310BT
Budget turntables · 2019–? Discontinued
$80–$150 typical US used price
Sony's do-everything starter deck: fully automatic with one-touch Bluetooth pairing, a built-in phono stage and USB output. The pick for total simplicity.
One-button Bluetooth pairing made it the mainstream wireless favourite.
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.
- Can transmit over Bluetooth as well as a wired output. A wired connection avoids Bluetooth codec compression.
- Has a USB output for recording vinyl to a computer.
- Fully automatic: the arm cues itself and returns at the end of the side.
