![]() ![]() As we wrote in our review: "If all you want is to listen to your records and not have to worry about queueing, premature needle wear or digitizing your records, the Denon DP-300F should be at the top of your list. The Denon DP-300F is a gorgeous turntable that sounds just as good as it looks. But, as we wrote in our review: "If you want a turntable that just works, looks good, and can be upgraded later, the Fluance RT81 is the turntable for you." Then again, if you want a more high-end performance from the get-go, take a look at the Pro-Ject Carbon Evo at the top of our guide. If that's you, the Denon DP-300F (also in this guide) is a great choice for a fully automated vinyl experience. You’ll also have to manually queue records, which isn’t a deal breaker by any means but may put off anyone looking for a fully automatic player. The Fluance RT81's promised “auto-off” feature turns off the platter to prevent excessive needle wear, which is good, but you still have to return the arm to its resting place yourself. We really enjoyed this turntable's sound during testing, but we did encounter a few issues. You don't need to worry about getting a separate phono preamp either, as there's one built in, but you can turn that off if you want to use a more powerful external preamp in the future. The reason? It's simple to set up and use for newbies, but you can switch out the cartridge to squeeze out more performance later on. The Fluance RT81 is an excellent starter turntable.

This deck really impressed us in all cases during our testing. ![]() However, we did still get that rich, vinyl sound wirelessly, and with greater clarity and precision than from cheaper Bluetooth turntables. Inevitably, we found that it does sound its best through some great wired components than even the best top-tier Bluetooth headphones. It includes Bluetooth for sending sound directly to headphones or a wireless speaker – and it's aptX HD Bluetooth, so you get more detail. What that means is that you get a built-in phono stage so it can be connected directly to an amp or active speakers, but it's switchable, so you can use your own high-end solution if you have one. The Cambridge Audio Alva TT V2 wants to bring high-end listening to you in a convenient package, but without compromising on sound.

There are some minor sacrifices involved in a turntable this affordable. In short, it makes listening to the physical music product an absolute joy. The ATN3600L conical stylus fits perfectly into the grooves of the record and reveals details in songs you may have never noticed before.

In fact, our review reads: "It doesn’t matter the sort of music you like to listen to – the Debut Carbon Evo laps it up. How about the all important sound? Fantastic.
