Best all in one turntable and speaker with bluetooth

Just asking for a friend who is looking for a component that has a turntable, built in speakers and has bluetooth. Does anyone actually have something like this? And can anyone here recommend a system for my friend to get. I'm assuming a Crosley, but was curious about any ones opinion

 

It's not a Crosley.

Yeah, that does look better than anything Crosley has to offer.

 

Thanks but I get the feeling he’s not looking to spend $3K. Maybe up to $500

 

"All in ones"
Not a practical item anymore
40-45 years ago yeah and even then not so great but OK
A budget of $500 could get your friend some very decent tunes with some patient and thoughtful looking on craigslist going vintage/used

And something like a table with on-board phono amp and powered BT speakers is absolutely a no-go? Something like the Fluances?

Part of me wanted to try this when it was a $400 kickstarter project. Just to see... I assume the speaker system is comparable to a Bosey unit. A reviewer compared the turntable part to a Pro-ject Elemental.

There is no good all in one turntable for $500. Practically all of them are poorly built players and won’t provide remotely good sound quality and the built in speakers won’t be good sounding at all, let alone become a factor in accelerating wear and tear on the records.

Either get separate components or forget about getting an all in one.

 

I didn't title the thread. You did. Checks all the boxes.
The funny thing. This is the cheap one.

$500 isn't going to get you much of a turntable. You also have to add a decent amp, decent speakers. If you go digital, I'm sure there are better options.

I do own a Gramovox Floating Record. But it appears the company went belly up. It's not horrible. I bought for something to put in my guest bedroom. It was Kickstarter product.


There is a new kickstarter product called the HYM Seed. It's a little more than $500 though. It was suggested above.

If it's REALLY a friend, steer them in a different direction.

 

Ha, I already tried. He's just looking for a simple system

 

Please remind him it'll be a game of compromises and won't really hear what vinyl is capable of if he opts to go in that all-in-one direction.

 

I recommended the Seed to him. It looks pretty good

 

Just point out that something like the Fluance combo would be a safer bet. The Seed is a little scary in that the company is in Taiwan. Fluance seems to have a rep for pretty good customer service.

(A "splurge" for a table would be...)

Tell him not to bother

 

Clearly no none wants your friend to get a all-in-one, I'd be happy with the Mistral amp:

& Monitor audio 50 speakers, all he need then is a phone, the amp has great symmetry with these speakers, total cost in the UK £420 with some decent speaker stands & cable included

Maybe the OP is looking for a novelty product where SQ is not the priority. The Seed HYM looks good and has some good reviews.

 

You can hook any turntable up to these Klipsch powered speakers with built in phono preamp and Bluetooth.

Crosley has an all-in-one record player with an Audio-Technica magnetic cartridge (the same one as that $3200 Symbol player linked above!), adjustable counterweight, pitch control, and Bluetooth input:

The main drawback is that it only has a single mono built-in speaker. But a player like the HYM Seed where the built-in stereo speakers are less than a foot apart is practically mono anyway. And you can connect it to external stereo speakers through the headphone jack.

 

Still junk too. And poorly made, doubt it lasts longer than 2 years babied. $500 barely buys you an adequate new turntable today. $500 bought you something reasonably good in 1970 or so, but even then compromises were necessary. Headphone jacks don't drive speakers which are very good either.

 

You can get a simple budget system...just separate the speakers from the turntable. Is he scared of hooking up one wire?

 

Not sure of his exact setup. I just don't think he's interested too much in top sound quality, just something to listen to some vinyl on

 

$400 for my dad's KLH Turntable with built in FM stereo radio and two nice Speakers. Not sure why I remember the cost because I was like 6 years old, LOL...but I did love that system.
