Getting into vinyl? This is the affordable Bluetooth turntable deal I'm recommending to everyone this Prime Day
£50 off the excellent Sony PS-LX3BT
Sony is always good for a Prime Day deal, and this year has been no exception. We've spotted the lowest-ever price on the WF-1000XM6 wireless earbuds, but if you're just getting into the world of vinyl, there's also a significant saving to be had on Sony's outstanding PS-LX3BT Bluetooth turntable.
The affordable deck is perfect for anyone dipping their toe into the sea of vinyl for the first time, and with the excellent plug 'n play spinner falling from £299 to £235 at Amazon, now is the time to strike. It's not the first time we've seen it at this price, but we still think it's a great deal that shouldn't be ignored.
We only tested the Sony PS-LX3BT this year, yet here it is enjoying a very healthy £64 discount thanks to Amazon Prime Day. It's one we'd urge you to consider, too, as the PS-LX3BT is one of the best budget Bluetooth turntables you can buy thanks to its excellent sound and seamless usability.
Price check: £249 at Richer Sounds
The PS-LX3BT is such an easy to use turntable that we'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to dip their toe into vinyl waters.
Its automatic operation means you don’t even need to adjust the tonearm, while playing and stopping tracks is made easy via ‘start’ and ‘stop’ buttons respectively. Once your record has reached its end, the arm will automatically return to its resting start position, so you barely have to touch it at all.
Speaking of tonearms, the Sony deck features an aluminium model with a precision pivot bearing, as well as an aluminium die-cast platter and a rubber mat. You also get a pre-fitted moving magnet cartridge with a tracking force of 3.5g, but as there’s no quick way to remove it from the tonearm, your options for upgrading are limited.
The PS-LX3BT offers Bluetooth streaming with support for the aptX Adaptive codec for hi-res streaming up to 24-bit/96kHz to compatible Bluetooth speakers and wireless headphones. That's a great bonus if you have, say, a JBL Charge 6 or Flip 7 knocking around and what quick and simple streaming to impress your mates.
Impress is the word. Within a proper hi-fi setup, the PS-LX3BT sounds punchy, alive and focused, with a balance that blends muscle and drive with enough space to give your music room to breathe. Affordable Bluetooth record players can often sound compromised, especially at the cheaper end of the market, but that's not a criticism we could level at the Sony.
All in all, an excellent starter point for users seeking a lethal blend of performance, usability and flexibility. Check it out at Amazon this Prime Day.
