- I ditched my IKEA Obegransad and snagged a Sony that was only slightly more expensive with way more functionality. Let's unbox and test out my new Sony PS-LX310BT turntable.

Thank you for really showing the process start to finish without skipping through “assumed,” parts. Seeing you pause and evaluate the ribbon lead to me being extra cautious with mine and got it locked first try.
Like Audio Technica's LP60 and a couple of other brands of inexpensive automatics, these turntables are great. Perfect for beginners. It will last you for years. Ignore the vinyl snobs, they're the cancerous part of the hobby, but easy to ignore when you realize they really have no idea what they are talking about. 😆
Yeah I'd love an expensive one someday, but I didn't realize how snobby people were until I came back and looked at the comments here lol
I couldn't agree more (even though I'm a very happy rega owner) I know a few people who have similar tables and I'm impressed with what they are like, well priced and well built, and come standard with a great budget cartridge, same as the one that came on my p1. The automatic feature is something I wish rega did.
Very well said. Vinyl snobs will never be happy even if the band performed in front of them let alone listen to it in vinyl.
Why is it considered a "Beginner" automatics tho? I mean If this one sounds good why would I spend 800 dollars on a better one? We got this table too, best vinyl purchase I've done, it sounds just what you expect it to, but then again I got a proper AB class amplifier with big RF82 speakers 😂I agree on your take on vinyl snobs, if it works it works :D
Just ordered this bad boy today doing my research on what receiver and speakers to buy for it. I can't wait I already know the first record I'm going to buy. Donny here I come!!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this. I assembled mine today and this video helped. A lot of people doing these videos are clearly ‘old hands’ at it, so it’s nice to see it done by someone who doesn’t do it everyday. Cheers! :)
Oh wow I'm glad this actually helped to some degree!
I literally just received mine today and wanted to thank you for this video! It really helped me setting it up by following what you did. Thank you again for this upload!
Glad I could help! :)
Great setup video and not just for newbies you have no idea how helpful this is Sir. Plug and play all day with decent quality and no bullshit well done Sir.
I’m so glad! Thanks!
I have had this table for a few years now and use it daily and it is a great table. The built in phono re amp is also very good with three gain stages. For the price? You just can't beat this.It’s a Sony and they don’t make crappy stuff. Remember they made some of the finest and advanced (bio tracer) turntables back in the day. The vinyl snobs buy crappy stuff that look like home decor than a decent turntable for the money.I would choose a Sony any day over DIY project kinda tables.
Thank you so much! I'm looking to purchase this with the Sony receiver and speakers as a bundle, online, and this video helps. Cheers to you!! 🍻
That's a damn good looking turntable you got there. I almost bought that one but opted for the Audio Technica LP60X-BT in red. LOVE those speakers! I'm using Edifier. Happy spinning! 🤘🏼
That was my first one, minus the BT. My brother still has it, works great! These speakers are to die for though, I love em!
thx for the tutorial video i just ordered my own it’s coming in a few days
I’ve had this turntable since June 2020. I use it almost every day. I’ve got it hooked up to active Edifier S1000 MKII speakers. It works perfectly and produces great sound. I replaced the stylus after 2 years of use with an Audio Technica ATN3600 stylus. It just slotted on to the tone arm very easily. I won’t be changing this turntable anytime soon. It’ll do me for years to come.
Did you order the 3600 conical that’s red? I’m thinking of doing the same
I’m planning on keeping this one a while too!! I’ll keep that upgrade in mind, thanks!
I've connected my ps-lx310bt to my bose Bluetooth speaker. However, when I try and raise the volume on my Bluetooth speaker, nothing happens. The audio remains quiet. Can you offer any assistance ? Or did I just happen to buy a defective device ?
@@blakecrossen3812 I got the ATN3600L Conical, in white, not red… It’s perfect.
@@yeeongains9220 : I wonder if that might be something to do with whether the switch at the back of the turntable unit is set at “line in” or “phono”. Try that out both ways…
The only other thing I can say is that this is not the first time I’ve heard of a problem with a Bose speaker
Thank you you saved my friend 40s birthday gift 🎉❤
hey I did the same, switched from the Ikea one to this, and its much better
I compared the sound of an AT table vs. this model and to me this sounded a bit warmer and cleaner than the AT. It was really close though.. less than 10% difference.
Great video, thanks! Can you tell me if this turntable is compatible with the HT-A9 Performance Home Theater System that I am looking to buy for my Sony TV?
The arm always goes back up and stops playing everything I press 'play', any idea why it does this?
just bought one today ,a was hoping you did the bluethooth aswel ,but it shut be easy ,happy new year from belgium !!!
Just did a video on that too, was pretty easy! Happy new year!
I accidentally removed the red tape before I started!! How do I fix this?
Great video! Would you be able to connect this turntable to a Sonos 5? Thanks
What material is the needle?
I think mines faulty. I press start and its turned on but doesnt spin.
Looks and sounds much better than the Ikea one. Dust cover for me is a real plus.
Gotta have that dust cover!
A great way to go for a first turntable, full auto, no muss, no fuss.
Bingo! To my untrained ears it sounds great too. Someday if I have a dedicated listening room with high end speakers I'll worry about upgrading to the good stuff.
please help mine plays all my vinyls too fast
Did I miss the Bluetooth connection //
Price
I have a pair of Wireless Steelseries arctis nova 7x. Would I be able to connect them directly to the turntable?
They run off Bluetooth? Shouldn't have an issue.
im new to this stuff can i pair the turntable to my sony hifi that also has bluetooth or using aux?
It should pair to anything that takes a Bluetooth audio input like that speaker! You’d be best off with aux though.
do u have a link or name to that shelve/ dresser u have the player and the speakers on? it’s nice
Ikea Obegransad! It's a limited time one based off the Ikea Kallax.
Great video. What did you do with the little plastic black circle though? I cant find a use for it!
That’s for playing your smaller 7” records, you put it on the plate before the record!
Can someone please help me? I connected this exact turntable to a speaker but i can hear a small delayed sound from the turntable even if its not connected to anything
More detail? If you’re right next to the turntable you’ll always faintly hear the music being played from the record itself even if no speakers are connected.
@PapiTech thanks for the review! I am looking to buy first TT. How is the sound quality through BT speakers or headphones? Also do use the usb connection to rip from vinyl to digital? I am wondering if these features are worth it on a TT.
I just filmed a video testing out the Bluetooth and it seems pretty decent to me! I have not ripped any vinyl, I'm not sure I understand why anyone would do that unless the record is unavailable on CD or digital.
Wait so if I have no amp, but I’m using “powered speakers”, what setting do I use? Newbie here. Very excited.
most vintage turntable dont have a built in preamp. somewhere in the 90s, they include a built in preamp.
To use a powered speaker (those with speaker wire). this is used for Receivers, even Micro HiFi Components and HiFi DVD players have these wires. But some wires have different mm size and even the specs of the speakers. You dont wanna mess it if its gonna escalate. and also do not plug the phono input with already built in pream turntable, because you get loud and distorted sound. since phono inputs have a very weak frequency to plug an built in phono stage. it exist some speakers having a external built in Phono Preamp.
these spades or like wires that includes within the RCA have are ground cables. this is used for reducing the hum.
what speakers are you using, they look great!
I love them, they look AND sound great! drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-jbl-lsr30x-powered-speakers They're basically special versions of the JBL LSR305
Where did you get the sonic mania soundtrack
Data-Discs makes it!
Sega has nice jazz !
Right!?
Until i buy some decent speakers if i buy this. might sound silly but can hook up Alexa too it for the time being.??
It sounds like you should be able to pair to it just like I did here
Just realized which video this was on. I have another of me hooking this up to a BT speaker.
what table do you have everything on?
Was a special IKEA stand!
I've connected my ps-lx310bt to my bose Bluetooth speaker. However, when I try and raise the volume on my Bluetooth speaker, nothing happens. The audio remains quiet. Can you offer any assistance ? Or did I just happen to buy a defective device ?
Hmm not sure. I just tried this out myself in my latest video and it worked okay for me. The volume is all handled by the speaker, not the turntable.
Check the “line in” / “phono” switch at the back of the unit. You might have it switched to the wrong side. Also, switch the “Gain” to its maximum setting.
I still have the Sonic vinyl in bubble wrapping. :D
He wrapped the record in 3 seconds fir you.
Do u take the mat off to play the record ? Sorry first player
Nope!
How do you connect the vinyl player to the speaker s
Just made a video showing that :)
I love my turntable
I'm guessing you're new to turntables. This seems a good starting point. I like fully automatic turntables. I would have a changer if I could find a working model. Stacking records does not harm them. Don't put anything on the dust cover, they all get scratches. Have fun with your turntable and records! Good video on setting up a new turntable.
Relatively new, this is my second one, have it as more of a novelty but I enjoy listening to records as an experience. I buy new albums on vinyl instead of CD now and it's nice to be able to actually listen to them! Thanks!!
You entirely glossed over the needle part
What's keeping me from buying it is you can't change the stylist
Stylus
You can change the stylus but not the cartridge.
I have never seen a person with such difficulty opening a box and putting together something so simple. My nerves exploded. Also, thank you
Haha omg! I had the same with my IKEA turntable. It made scratches on my vinyl. So I returned it and bought this one also ahhaha 😂. Still figuring out what to do with the red things
Oh no!!! Seeing the IKEA platter wobble so much I got scared it would do that to my records.
Get a cork mat and do a speed test and skating test. Other than that it should be a great turntable for years to come
When the time comes LP Gear has a nice Stylus upgrade for it $29.95
Interesting! Didn't consider this could be upgraded. Maybe I'll check that out.
.. probably burns better than it sounds... there's a reason for more expensive turntables my hipster friend...
I hate this Sony! Is there a stylus upgrade that can polish this turd's audio? I only bought it because it was on the shelf at BB and I didn't want to order the one I actually wanted. Buyers Remorse.
I saw somewhere that there’s a stylus upgrade. Did you try it?
Not yet. i think the tracking force (non-adjustable) is to heavy for the eliptical upgrade stylus. I would like to be proven wrong. @@papitech8268
Trust me, there is no part of this package made by Sony. I tried one of these machines, and couldn’t help but think that just looking at it, that the plastic would break. Are they looking to put Bluetooth into ball point pens next? Bluetooth is one audio trend I wish would truly die.
Actually the bluetooth of today is not the bluetooth of ten years ago. Is it as good as direct? absolutely not! but it is listenable in your car or at an event that has background noise. I'm an audio engineer and mix live via wi-fi and play my background/break tracks via bluetooth and no one has ever complained about the quality of the sound.
@@onefatstratcat It’s garbage technology. With no place in listening to vinyl. How inconvenient is it to wire a bloody pair of RCA cables?
damn
@@onefatstratcat modern day bluetooth is 10x better. we have actual high bitrate codecs now. APTX-HD, LDAC, etc.
@@ArthurJS123 i think you need to chill out man. you have no right to micromanage how this man listens to his vinyl. quit being a snob
It’s horrible . Just a mass of black plastic. Try a Thorens second hand , REGA too or new. Even Teac make something with a decent finish. Pro-ject début carbon with red needle is super. Good luck
This is a great TT for beginners, keep the snobbery to yourself.
To get a Rega or Pro-Ject you're gonna spend north of $600.....the Sony is a perfectly acceptable quality turntable for someone either fairly new to vinyl or looking to upgrade from a cheaper unit....it does everything a turntable should do for less than $200.
No ❤
@@kennethromo8302 yes
@@deplorable_dave I was responding to Lawrence 😂, I have the same turntable in the video and it’s great
