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.

Sony introduces two new Bluetooth-enabled turntables, the PS-LX3BT (£299) and PS-LX5BT (£399), aimed at audiophile enthusiasts.
The PS-LX5BT features a sleek black design, upgraded cartridge, and gold-plated audio jack for superior sound quality.
Both models are likely contenders for "best turntables" lists due to innovative features and attractive designs.
