Bluetooth Vinyl Turntable System

[Shrewsbury on Tour]

Good evening,

thanks for any help / advice in advance

Recently sold my seperates system. No longer using Cd’s.
Still looking to use vinyl.

Budget 1-2k….

Was looking to purchase a Bluetooth vinyl player with Bluetooth speaker.

any thoughts on best combination or alternatives.

cheers

Rather defeats the object of buying vinyl in my opinion.....🙄

Cannot say I have ever heard a set-up like this but, done well, I might imagine you would find it hard to tell the difference how the signal from the turntable is sent to the speakers.
Could be wrong, will not know for sure until I have actually heard one....

Not sure, Bluetooth brings with it convenience, which many want, although it might mean a walk from the other end of the house where the speaker is to turn the record over!😀

Vinyl's supposed "superiority" is that it's analogue (leaving aside most new albums from the last 30 years are recorded in digitally). A Bluetooth turntable has a DAC will then convert this Digital to Analogue (when applicable) recording back to digital, then transmit the resultant audio soup using a lossy code to another device. Hence defeating the supposed point of vinyl.

It might not be how you and I might want to do things, but others (and manufacturers) clearly do and enjoy the convenience. Cambridge Audio clearly do, as Darko says: “CAs Alva TRV2 is a pragmatist’s turntable”, so that I keep to the question, there’s a suggested audition from me too!😀

Yes, if they want convenience, they shouldn't want vinyl.
Modern life is great. You can have the inconvenience of vinyl with the compromise of BT, in one handy unit 👍

No, the other way around.
By design vinyl is as analog as analog can get.
A Bluetooth turntable must have a phone stage (the RIAA correction).
As the output of this stage is analog, you need a ADC to convert to digital.
This PCM audio is send to the Bluetooth transmitter.
There the audio is (lossy) compressed using the codec negotiated between sender and receiver.
