So it’s Amazon Prime Day Part Deux (it’s not called that, please forgive me) and you’re here for a vinyl spinner that’s, how to put this… a Big Deal. But you want to avoid anything too pricey or hugely involved. I’ve got just the thing: meet the Sony PS-LX310BT, now just $178 at Amazon – or if you reside in the UK, it’s only £189 (was £239) and with built-in phono stage for a fuss-free plug and play setup.
There are dozens of turntables on sale for Big Deal Days. Some, I’d advise you not to touch. This is not that deck. Even if it hasn’t featured in TechRadar’s best turntables buying guide, I’ve been doing this for a little while now and (don’t tell everyone but) I used to work for TechRadar’s sister publication, What Hi-Fi?.
What I’m saying is, this is my long-term gig and I know good value when I see it. I also love the business of playing records (sticking on an LP and actually listening to it all – ad-free, and without worrying about whether the wi-fi connection will hold out) including the occasional pops as I set the needle tracking in my various imperfect record presses.
But that’s not what you came here to read about – sorry. This turntable deal is worthy of your consideration because it also includes Bluetooth streaming, so you can send the vinyl spinning on your platter to a set of Bluetooth speakers paired in stereo, say, or your over-ears. Nice idea, no? And it works beautifully.

As mentioned, it’ll send the analogue audio from your vinyl to your Bluetooth speakers or headphones, if you like. So if you wanted an inexpensive beginner vinyl setup for a fledgling collector, how about the also-on-sale Sonos Era 100 speaker? It’s down to just $199 in the US (was $249), or £199 in the UK (was £249), bagging you a competent, fuss-free, reliable setup from two huge names in hi-fi, all for under $400 / £400.
Wouldn’t look bad at home, would it?
