Easy vinyl rotation – Stuff.tv listed the best turntables equipped with Bluetooth connectivity

Stuff.tv website has been listed The best-selling Bluetooth vinyl turntables on the market. It fits both budget models and high-end models, as well as advanced beginner turntables.

The popularity of vinyl records has continued for years, but at the same time there is also a trend towards wireless playback. Connecting them is quite cumbersome and usually requires unwanted cables. In few active speakers there is also no phono input for the vinyl player, so a separate RCA adapter often has to be added to the shopping list. Purchasing additional turntables can be a stumbling block especially for beginners, and purchasing intentions may therefore be put on hold at first.

Gradually, vinyl turntables equipped with Bluetooth connectivity have also entered the market; the analog sound is converted into digital format using the device’s own AD converter, a loudness correction is applied, and the signal is transmitted wirelessly to speakers or headphones.

The cheapest option on the Stuff.tv list is the Audio Technica LP60-XBT, which costs just under 200 euros in Finland. Despite its affordable price, it features a newer Bluetooth 5.0 version with the aptX codec for better sound quality. Compared to the previous LP60-BT model, tracking and noise reduction have been improved.

The instrument also features an aluminum soundboard, automatic start and stop of playback, and a speed changer. According to Stuff.tv, the wireless connection is convincing and provides a balanced sound, even though there is no bass boost.

Next in price order is the Sony PS-LX310BT, priced at around 250 euros. It features controls for starting and stopping playback, raising and lowering the audio volume, speed adjustment, and selecting the disc size. According to Phono-Front End Stuff.tv, it’s quite good, but you can also skip it if you wish.

There is also an aluminum plate in the Sonyss, and the sound setup is complete after the strap is placed, as the sound box is in place and the counterweight is set up. The Stuff.tv review describes the playback as energetic, dynamic, and pleasant, although not the most detailed.

The Pro-Ject Essential 3 Bluetooth is a wireless version of the classic headphones – one of many variations of the player. The recommended price in Finland is 419 euros. The player is made of MDF, with a wooden plate and frame typical of Pro-Ject’s basic models, an aluminum sound bar, an Ortofon cartridge and a brushless motor. Despite the wireless functionality, high-quality connecting cables are included.

Stuff.tv gives the player kudos for its timing accuracy and even frequency response. The bass frequencies have a decent but not overbearing amount of warmth. Operation is simple. For some reason, Stuff.tv also included the Pro-Ject Juke Box E model, even though it doesn’t have a Bluetooth transmitter – just a receiver.

The clearly more sophisticated section is represented by the Alva TT player released by Cambridge Audio this year. Its price in Finland is 1,790 euros. It boldly combines a high-fidelity direct-drive player with wireless connectivity.

Bluetooth connectivity has been properly invested in, as it offers 24-bit depth and 48 kHz sampling frequency with the aptX HD codec. According to Stuff.tv, the phone sounds great and offers warmth, timing accuracy, and rhythmic playback.
