Editorial summary

Sony’s PS-LX3BT combines choosing a record by hand with Bluetooth listening. Even within an analog hobby, people differ in which rituals they want to keep.

Article

Take out the record and put it on the turntable. After pressing the play button, listen to music through earphones or speakers connected via Bluetooth instead of a cable. A record chosen by hand and wireless listening share the same scene.

Sony PS-LX3BT is a turntable that supports fully automatic playback and Bluetooth connection. Place a record on the platter and press the button to begin the playback process. It is a design that does not make even the operation of moving the tone arm by hand a prerequisite for the hobby.

The rituals to keep and the tasks to hand over

You can also find the same song in streaming apps. However, choosing a record involves examining the cover and taking out the record. The PS-LX3BT keeps those first steps while reducing the work of playback controls and connections.

There is no need to view this combination as a contradiction. Even if you like the experience of picking and touching items, that may not mean you want to do all the manipulation by hand. It varies from person to person which movements they enjoy and which movements they can leave to machines.

Conditions that do not disappear just because it is wireless

Wireless listening requires earphones or speakers that receive Bluetooth audio. Rather than thinking that all devices can be used for the same purposes as connecting to a mobile phone, it is more accurate to check the connection target in the official description.

Also, even if music starts from a record, the Bluetooth transmission path does not remain entirely analog. It is important to distinguish between the fact that it supports wireless connectivity and the evaluation that a particular sound quality is unconditionally better. The feature of this device is not to determine a superior listening method, but to expand connection options.

It also provides wired output and has a built-in phono equalizer to match the audio environment to which it will be connected. Older forms of music media are not necessarily tied to just one old connection method.

Putting on the record is still done by hand. Where you sit afterward and which device you listen through can vary. A record is spinning on the turntable, and wireless earphones are placed in your ears.
