![]() But, as we wrote in our review: "If you want a turntable that just works, looks good, and can be upgraded later, the Fluance RT81 is the turntable for you." Of course, if you want a more high-end performance from the start, take a look at the Pro-Ject Carbon Evo at the top of our guide. If that's you, the Denon DP-300F is a great choice for those looking for a fully automated record listening experience. You’ll also have to manually queue records, which isn’t a deal breaker by any means but may put off anyone looking for a fully automatic record player. The Fluance RT81's advertised “auto-off” feature turns off the platter to prevent excessive needle wear, which is good, but you still have to return the arm to its resting place yourself. We really enjoyed this turntable's sound during testing, but we did encounter a few issues. You don't need to worry about getting a separate phono preamp either, as there's one built in, but you can turn that off if you want to use a more powerful external preamp instead. The reason? It's simple to set up and use for newbies, but you can switch out the cartridge to squeeze out more performance later on. We think that the Fluance RT81 is an excellent starter turntable. Read our full Cambridge Audio Alva TT V2 review In our review, we wrote: "The Alva TT V2 is a deft, smooth and insightful listen, a little short of dynamic headroom but very long indeed on detail retrieval, tonal balance and generously engaging sound." This record player really impressed us in all cases during our testing. However, we did still get that rich, vinyl sound wirelessly, and more clearly and with more precision than from cheaper Bluetooth options. Inevitably, we found that it does sound its best through some great wired components than even the best top-tier Bluetooth headphones. It includes Bluetooth for sending sound directly to headphones or a wireless speaker, but it's aptX HD high-resolution Bluetooth, so you get more detail from it. What that means is you get a built-in phono stage so that it can be connected directly to an amp or active speaker, but it's switchable, so you can use your own high-end solution if you have one. The Cambridge Audio Alva TT V2 wants to bring high-end listening to you in a convenient package, but without compromise for those conveniences. Read our full Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT review The inclusion of Bluetooth connectivity does make the AT-LP6XBT record player feel like very good value for money. The very light plinth feels rather insubstantial, and while the soundstage delivers that all-important vinyl warmth it could do with a little more crispness in the higher frequencies. For this reason, we think that hardcore audiophiles may prefer the sound and look of Hi-Fi turntables like the $1700 / £1500 (around AU$2750) Cambridge Audio Alva TT in our list below.īut if you’re looking for something super simple and not too pricey, this one might be your best bet.
