Pro-Ject is a trusted brand for turntables, and it uses quality components like an Ortofon cartridge. Pro-Ject VT-E BT R: We previously recommended this turntable.Unfortunately, the motor was distractingly loud, and the stylus skipped on records other turntables had no problems with. House of Marley Stir It Up Turntable: There’s a lot to love about this turntable, including the unique build and commitment to sustainable materials, replaceable cartridge and adjustable tonearm.Some were great but didn’t make the cut for one reason or another, while some we couldn’t recommend.
One way to mitigate this would be to place the speaker further from the turntable and sit closer to the speaker and away from the turntable.īluetooth turntables are still a pretty niche market, but we were able to test a number of options for consideration. This surface noise isn’t distracting with an analog connection, because there’s only an imperceptible delay between the needle hitting the groove and the sound coming out of the speaker.Ī Bluetooth connection has a slight delay, meaning you can occasionally hear surface noise, which almost sounds like someone whispering in the background. When you put your ear up to a spinning record, you can hear very quiet music coming from the surface, even when no speakers are plugged in. Beyond the loss in audio fidelity, a Bluetooth record player also sacrifices some of the charm of a pure analog experience.Īnother drawback of a Bluetooth turntable has to do with surface noise. For one thing, a Bluetooth record player turns an analog signal into a digital one, compressing the signal in order to transmit it via Bluetooth. That said, there are some reasons why you might not want to buy a Bluetooth record player and instead opt for a basic wired option, like U-Turn Orbit or the Fluance RT80. Bluetooth turntables also allow you to switch between a wired and wireless connection if you decide to later upgrade to analog. Setting up a wired active speaker or passive speaker can involve buying extra equipment, but if you already have a Bluetooth speaker you like, you can literally plug and play. The key advantage of a Bluetooth turntable is versatility and convenience. A portable Bluetooth speaker makes that easier. No matter what kind of turntable you own, it’s recommended that you keep your speakers on a separate surface from your turntable. Even with good built-in speakers, the vibrations from the speakers will affect the spinning record and worsen the audio quality. That’s because all-in-one speakers have a reputation for poor sound quality. Between the two types, we’d recommend opting for the latter, rather than all-in-one record players with built-in speakers.
