SUPERB VALUE SIMPLICITY Sony PS-LX310BT £249
Though around for a couple of years, this is still one of the best entry-level turntables, with push-button automatic operation, 331/3 and 45 rpm, built-in phono stage, line-out and aptx Bluetooth which easily connects up to eight devices. Small and relatively light, the low-profile, mostly plastic design is modern and stylish. The tonearm and cartridge are pre-installed and pre-weighted – you just need to attach the belt to the platter – and with push-button controls, you don’t have to cue up records manually. Even with all these features, it sounds significantly superior to any other ‘bargain’ Bluetooth turntable. sony.co.uk
