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.

Buying advice: bluetooth turntable with preamp

Check the preamp output first

A built-in preamp lets a turntable connect to a line input without a separate phono stage. The ANGELS HORN has a built-in phono preamp with Phono and Line outputs, and the Audio-Technica has a built-in switchable phono preamplifier for phono or line output. The Sony has a built-in phono EQ for wired and wireless connection. Compare the output options on each pick before choosing, since a line output suits powered speakers and a phono output suits a receiver with a phono input.

Match the drive and speeds to your records

Belt drive and direct drive describe how the platter turns. The ANGELS HORN uses a belt drive with 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds for 7, 10, and 12 inch records. The Audio-Technica uses direct drive with 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds. The Sony uses 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds with a 45 RPM adaptor. Check the speeds on each pick against the records you own before choosing.

Decide how you want to listen wirelessly

Bluetooth lets a turntable send vinyl to wireless speakers, headphones, and soundbars without a cable. The ANGELS HORN uses Bluetooth 5.0 and can also play music from a Bluetooth device through its built-in speakers. The Audio-Technica connects wirelessly to speakers and other devices with Bluetooth wireless technology and aptX Adaptive Audio. The Sony connects wirelessly to speakers, headphones, and soundbars with Hi-Res wireless audio and aptX Adaptive. Check which wireless devices each pick names before choosing.
