I’ve tested quite a few budget Bluetooth turntables this year, including the Sony PS-LX3BT<\/a> and the Sharp RP-TT100<\/a>, but my top pick for overall sonic performance has to be the Sony PS-LX5BT<\/a>. Like its LX3BT sibling, the PS-LX5BT earned the full five-star haul earlier this year thanks to its commendable sonic talents alongside excellent usability and multiple ways to listen.<\/p>\n

Now that it’s dropped to \u00a3307 at Amazon<\/a>, Sevenoaks <\/a>and John Lewis<\/a> this Prime Day<\/a>, you’re in a great position to pick up five-star quality for \u00a392 less than its standard RRP of \u00a3399. That’s roughly 23 per cent off a supremely talented Bluetooth deck that we only recently reviewed!<\/p>\n

Best Sony turntable Prime Day deal<\/p>\n

Today’s best Sony PS-LX5BT deals<\/p>\n

The PS-LX5BT<\/a> gives you the full Bluetooth turntable package, with a built-in phono stage, fully automatic operation and great sonic performance on a budget, although if you’re looking to save even more cash, the step-down PS-LX3BT is also on sale for Prime Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That said, if you pick the LX5BT, you’ll get a better cartridge, a slightly different arm tube, slip mat and finish, as well as fully detachable interconnect cables.<\/p>\n

This being a fully automatic turntable, operation and setup are simple. The PS-LX5BT is easy to use and responsive to our commands, without needing to manually adjust the tonearm or tinker with tracking weights.<\/p>\n

The PS-LX5BT is supplied with a pre-fitted moving magnet cartridge with a 2g tracking force, with much of the PS-LX5BT’s improved performance likely deriving from its more premium cartridge.<\/p>\n

For Bluetooth, there\u2019s support for the hi-res aptX<\/a> Adaptive codec for handling files wirelessly up to 24-bit\/96kHz to compatible Bluetooth speakers and headphones, with the PS-LX5BT allowing up to eight devices to be paired at any given time.<\/p>\n

Why would you get the PS-LX5BT over the cheaper PS-LX3BT? For us, the costlier deck does a great job of justifying its not-inconsiderable price increase over its more entry-level counterpart, offering a more open, spacious and more detailed sound than the LX3BT.<\/p>\n

It also grants more space around instruments and gives the music greater breathing space within its broader, wider soundstage, leading to a more natural and immersive performance. Judged on its own or against its smaller sibling, Sony<\/a>‘s affordable player really shines.<\/p>\n

All in all, a great turntable with fantastic usability and class-leading sound at a fantastic knocked-down price. Find it at Amazon<\/a>, Sevenoaks <\/a>or John Lewis<\/a> before Prime Day ends.<\/p>\n
