Our take on the Sony PS-LX3BT Automatic Turntable w/ Bluetooth

The PS-LX3BT is Sony's fully automatic belt-drive turntable, a redesign of the PS-LX310BT aimed at beginners and casual listeners. Press play and the tonearm drops onto the record; it lifts and returns at the end, so you don't handle the arm. It has a switchable built-in phono preamp, Bluetooth for wireless speakers or headphones, and a USB output for recording records to a computer. Against manual rivals at the same level it trades adjustability for convenience: no counterweight, anti-skate or VTA, and a fixed cartridge, so it is set up to work out of the box rather than to be tuned.

What reviewers say

About the Sony PS-LX3BT Automatic Turntable w/ Bluetooth

The Sony PS-LX3BT is a fully automatic belt-drive turntable with a minimalist design. Pressing play starts the motor and places the tonearm on the record. Pressing stop returns the tonearm and stops the motor. At the end of a record, the tonearm returns and the motor turns off on its own.

It has a built-in switchable phono preamp. You can plug it into the AUX input of an audio system or use an external amp or phono stage. A gain select switch adjusts the output signal to match the audio level of your record.

The turntable connects to Bluetooth speakers and wireless headphones. A USB output connects to a computer for digital recording. The straight aluminum pipe tonearm comes with a Sony cartridge already mounted, and a removable dust cover is included.

Yes. The USB output connects to a computer for digital recording.
Can I upgrade the cartridge?
The cartridge is fixed and the arm has no counterweight or anti-skate adjustment, so cartridge swapping is not part of its design.
