Just starting a vinyl record collection? Don’t ruin your music with a suitcase-style turntable! Get this entry-level option from Sony instead and give your vinyl some TLC | usagoldmines.com

Music lovers listen up, Amazon Prime Day is stacked with offers on some of our favorite audio brands, and I’ve just spotted a deal on our best budget turntable, making it even more affordable — what more could you ask for?

I started my vinyl record collection in my teens, but my first mistake was not doing my research beforehand, and I purchased one of those Crosley-style players that do nothing but wreck your albums. If I were to speak to my 17-year-old self again, I’d tell him to look into the Sony PS-LX5BT turntable instead.

When we gave the Sony PS-LX5BT a first spin, it was an immediate 4.5 stars from us and we even described it as ‘one of the best pound-for-pound Bluetooth turntables around’. Now Amazon has knocked it down to $398 from $499.99, while Amazon in the UK has a similar deal for £307 (was £399).

Selecting the right vinyl player for your needs takes time. At the end of the day, they’re an investment piece, so you don’t want to regret your choice, but the Sony PS-LX5BT is a solid entry-level option. Our audio editor Becky Scarrott has also pieced together a collection of some of our favorite turntables — which would make great graduation gifts .

Today’s best Sony PS-LX310BT deal

Entry-level turntables sub-$400 with solid audio are difficult to come by, but not when it’s Prime Day. Amazon’s $100 price drop takes one of our favorite turntables to its lowest ever price, but this deal won’t be here for much longer. View Deal

Similarly in the UK, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Sony PS-LX5BT, and it won’t get much better than this as long as Prime Day goes on. Though you may be tempted to get your first turntable for an even cheaper price, your vinyls won’t thank you in the long run. View Deal

My JAM Audio Bluetooth turntable gave out on me a while back, and now I’ve become that annoying friend that’s constantly begging to use other people’s vinyl player to spin my favorite LPs. Well, thank goodness for Prime Day is all I can say.

As far as entry-level turntables go, the Sony PS-LX5BT turntable is simple and uncomplicated, yet doesn’t compromise sound quality. If anything, its sonic characteristics are quite upfront.

It also doesn’t fall flat on the features front. You’re going to get plenty of connectivity options including stereo RCA connections for hooking the turntable up to speakers or an amplifier, as well as Bluetooth if you refer to opt for wireless connection. The only small setback is that it doesn’t come with an adjustable counterweight, so you get what what you’re given, but that’s expected for a beginner-friendly record player.

Features aside, there’s no denying that it’s incredibly sleek in its design, right? And the dust shield is an added bonus, adding an extra layer of protection to your vinyl records as you spin them. I’d buy it on the design front alone.
