Victrola VPT-1500-BLK Onyx Bluetooth Hi-Res Audio Turntable (Black)

This is really excellent, easy to set up with Bluetooth. And I'm really impressed with the fact that if you were able to pause Bluetooth on your speaker, and it will pause it back on the Victrola!Looks really nice, really quite thin. And It seems like it's very good build quality, made of aluminium and everything feels very solid. One touch to press play, which is excellent as well.Excellent value, sounds good.

Looks pretty sleek and fits in with the modern looking electronics that are now the norm.Bluetooth connection was really crisp after sorting out the equaliser on the speaker in question and it was picked up by the various tablets, speakers, computers and phones that we tried.The repeat function was a novelty at first but actually, after having it on during a dinner party it was actually really helpful. You get the 'oooh' of putting a record on and then you can just set and forget while eating and not needing to sprint to the player to avoid the dreaded static at the end of a record.The player itself doesn't feel super high end, some bits feel pretty bog-standard but for something that you put on the side and pretty much leave alone it doesn't look bad for an entry level record player!

I bought this specifically to work with an existing Sonos home cinema setup and it does the job well. Old vinyl collection back in service and new vinyl being added! Not 5 stars as a bit expensive.

Great product. So easy to setup and play wirelessly over Sonos. Loving playing my vinyl collection throughout my flat.

The media could not be loaded. Working in an electronics store for years selling ridiculously expensive sound equipment and it was amazing to me that someone would try to justify spending literally thousands of pounds on components. While I do agree that there is a HUGE difference between a entry level record player and a higher quality one, I defy anyone to tell me that on sound alone they can hear the difference between a £200.00 record player and a £15,000.00 player.But it's obvious this is not marketed to some elitist who would swear they hear the difference. For a basic to mid level sound system this is not going to be the weakest link in the system. The player itself is fairly good build quality with an aluminium platter, Audio Technica Stylus and belt drive system and a built in pre-amp.The best thing for me was the Bluetooth connectivity, which was actually very easy to connect to my stereo, but also allowed for me to connect to my laptop and upload some of my old vinyls to my hard-drive. The player has a one touch “Play” button, which if pressed when playing will also stop the record and return the arm. It also has a repeat function which is unique, but I struggle to see a use for it.All in all I would say this is a solid player at a fair price. Great sound quality, loads of connectivity and a built in pre-amp. If it were to cost less I would be concerned about its internal components and longevity.My girlfriend once bought a fun looking little record player that came in a carrying case for less than a hundred pounds... it lasted a month before it died with no replaceable parts. This is NOT one of those things.

SUMMARY ★★★★★✓ Fully automatic operation.✓ Bluetooth streaming.✓ Includes Audio Technica cartridge.✗ Build quality could be better.This Victrola turntable is a magnificent piece of kit. The design is minimalist, industrial, and utilitarian.Although you can connect this phonogram to an amplifier using phono cables, the in-built Bluetooth technology allows you to stream to compatible devices. If you use cables to connect to an amplifier, you have the choice of switching between phono and line level output, which is a life-saver if your amp doesn't have a phono stage.A particularly joy-inducing feature for me has been the ability to transfer my old 45s, 12 inches, and LPs directly to my computer. This is such a delight as some of them are so obscure they're not available on any streaming service. Being able to transfer them directly via Bluetooth is a godsend. I had previously recorded the vinyl to MiniDisc, but due to MD's copy protection, it hasn't been possible to transfer them digitally to my computer.Overall, the Victrola is a brilliant turntable, offering excellent features and sound quality at a great price. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to transfer their collection of vinyl digitally to their PC.

There’s not a lot of options as to how to connect this to a sound source. You can connect via Bluetooth, but if you want to go via an amp you only have phono sockets. There is a usb c socket, but I’ve failed to find out what this is for. The sound is ok, once connected but depends on what you put it through. The price point does put it at the lower end of record players, so there’s a lot of choice. It’s ok.

i brought this for my son he was very excited but not yet used it.
