Vinyl’s resurgence (outselling CDs for three years) plus 50% of buyers lacking turntables drives Bluetooth models targeting wireless-first, under-40 listeners prioritizing convenience over traditional hi-fi stacks.

Sony PS-LX3BT and PS-LX5BT are fully automatic belt-drive turntables with aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, aluminium platters, built-in phono stages, USB vinyl ripping, and minimalist living-room-focused design.

PS-LX3BT ($400) uses a fixed cable and heavier 3.5g tracking cartridge, while PS-LX5BT ($500) adds gold-plated detachable RCA outputs, 2.0g tracking, stiffer chassis, and enhanced vibration damping.
