A Record Player With Some Cool Tricks (Sony PS-LX310BT Review)

Ғылым және технология

The Sony PS-LX310BT Record Player fuses vintage and modern together with some added features that take away much of the hassle and complexity of vinyl. In this review I go over some of the things I like and dislike about this budget-friendly player.

    Your comment is 10 months old but those buttons only matter for the automatic features. Meaning, if you press "start", where the needle will land on the platter automatically. For this or any automatic turntable, you just manually place the stylus for the 10 inch and it'll be just fine.

    I have this turntable. Sony uses the same AT3600L cartridge in this as is used in all the low end turntables. However, Sony appears to have compensated for the ho hum cartridge with an absolutely awesome pre-amp. The sound is not just accurate, but nuanced. It sounds like a turntable costing twice as much as it does. Unfortunately, the automatic mechanism is the same one used in all the others as well. And like all the other automatics, it only functions when it wants to. I just play it manually. No big deal.

    T4P and linear tracking turntables did not have adjustments for tracking force or anti skate devices. The cartridges were all a standard weight, the tone arms were designed and manufactured to track at a pre determined weight. Usually about 1.5 gms. "Audiophiles" hated them for the same reason that some car enthusiasts. hate the modern cars. They're reliable and there is no need for tinkering.

    Is your turntable needle chattering? I bought the same and I constantly hear the music from the TURNTABLE (not the speakers) on low volume while playing, which is kinda annoying. Of course I hear music well from the speakers as well, but the low music sound from the turntable is disturbing I think

    All turntables produce music at the point where the needle meets the record. It’s because of how record players work. It’s unavoidable unless you soundproof the lid and the whole exterior.

    I'm not one of those audiophile nerds, I play music on cheap ass equipment and I don't care. However, playing vinyl through a small or nearly any bluetooth speaker pretty much defeats the purpose. Do yourself a favor and go get some big 1970's speakers and an old amp from a thrift store for less than $20 and enjoy these records in the best quality. A $10 set of vintage speakers will always defeat a $30 bluetooth speaker.

You don't have to spend a lot, you don't have to go down any rabbit holes. Just make sure you're thinking critically about what equipment you're running. Personally, my receiver was $10, my speakers were $5.99, my TT was $10. Less than $30 and I always get comments on how amazing the sound is (from my friends to run soundbars and bluetooth speakers and forgot what a stereo system is)

    @@MetalEyez They said it would last for at least 1000 hours (i.e. about 1 year if you play an average 3 hours daily). For this specific model of turntable you must replace it with the original one from Sony or a compatible model such as the ones from LPGear I mentioned above.

    The speaker I used in the vid was to demonstrate the bluetooth feature. I don't actually listen to it on that speaker. I use Yamaha studio speakers.

    Good review, but it's not a "vinyl player". No chunks of vinylite plastic are being popped on, instead a final product which has had much done to it in-between, that final product is a "record". And this is a 'record player', 'turntable', or even 'phonograph', but "vinyl player" it is not. Unfortunately those have been yet to be invented. But otherwise good video, thank you.

    The discs are referred to as "vinyl" because when they were invented they were made from a petroleum-derived plastic called "vinyl", hence the widely accepted term "vinyl records". The device that plays these records is called a "vinyl record player" or "vinyl player" for short, among other names as you mentioned. In my home country many even call the records "vinyls" much to the annoyance of some of my friends in other countries who hate the plural use. Maybe your comment was just for humour, I'm not sure, but "vinyl" is a really common descriptor for this format.

    FYI: It's called a turntable, not a vinyl player, because it can play records made of styrene, too, not just vinyl. And vinyl does not get a plural form -- it's a collective noun, just like furniture and money -- both of which you'll need if you wish to have a large record collection. :-)

    VWestlife Yeah, “vinyls” is not correct but that’s what I’ve always called them. “Turntable”, “record player” and “vinyl record player” are all accepted terms though. Even “vinyl player” makes more sense to many young people than “turntable” as most know the word “vinyl”, even if they don’t know that a turntable is something that plays vinyl records.

    But many 7-inch 45 RPM records were made of styrene, not vinyl, and calling it a "vinyl player" might give people the false impression that it cannot play styrene records.

    You’re very much correct. To be honest though, I think the chance of someone watching the video and ending up being confused about what this is, is close to 0%. But you are absolutely correct with the terminology and I do appreciate when people use terminology and language in general, accurately. I don’t think I own any styrene records. I always assumed all of mine were vinyl. You have sent me on a fascinating research trip now.

    To be fair, I believe styrene records were only made in the USA, so they're probably rather uncommon across the pond. But if you have any 7" U.S. import 45s (with the big center hole), they very well could be styrene rather than vinyl.
