How we ranked these turntables
Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.
- Built-in phono preamp weight 2
- Bluetooth weight 1

Buying advice: bluetooth record player
Bluetooth first, then wired outputs
Bluetooth decides this search, but wired outputs decide how far the turntable reaches. The Retrolife, the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK, the Audio-Technica AT-LPGO-BT and the Sony PS-LX3BT all connect over Bluetooth. The Retrolife adds RCA output and a headphone jack, the AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK adds dual RCA output and USB, the AT-LPGO-BT adds dual RCA output, and the Sony PS-LX3BT adds a built-in audio cable. Match the outputs to the speakers and the computer you already own.
Automatic, manual or somewhere between
Operation changes how much you do by hand. The Audio-Technica AT-LPGO-BT and the Sony PS-LX3BT run fully automatic, while the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK runs fully manual. The Retrolife sits between them with an auto-stop switch that stops the record at the end. Pick automatic operation if you want one-step starts, and pick manual operation if you want direct control of the tonearm.
Speeds and record sizes to check
Speeds decide which records a turntable can play. The Retrolife plays 7, 10 and 12 inch records at 33, 45 and 78 RPM. The Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK also runs at 33, 45 and 78 RPM. The Audio-Technica AT-LPGO-BT and the Sony PS-LX3BT run at 33 1/3 and 45 RPM. Check the speeds against the records on your shelf before buying.
