Hello and happy new year!
I am a newbie, looking to finally make a deliberate purchase of a nice turntable and a good home audio setup with which to enjoy it. I'm hoping some folks on here could help answer a couple of questions or share any advice you may have for someone in my position.
My family are enjoyers of music and TV/movies at home, but I wouldn't classify us as audiophiles or cinephiles (so some of the demands of those of you with sharper ears may not be as important to us). We don't have a lot of functional space in our current home and our best arrangement (for both functionality and space) appears to be one with our turntable and vinyl in our dining area and speakers largely in our family room (adjacent and fully connected, with no doors between). This setup would make anything wired a real challenge, as it would probably be 8m or more from the turntable location to the family room. As such, we're considering Bluetooth enabled turntables (this is one of those areas where we acknowledge, for now, convenience supersedes sound quality).
The home theater/speaker system we're likely to purchase is the Bose Soundbar 900-Bose Bass Module 700-Bose Surround Sound Speakers 700 bundle. Again, not an ideal setup for strictly music listening, but a start to a home audio system to serve all purposes. We anticipate purchasing other Bose Smart Speakers for additional rooms and to have a mobile Bose speaker (at least to start) for outdoor listening, and each have our own Bose Quiet Comfort headphones, as well.
The two turntables that have come up in my searching are the Sony PS-LX310BT and the Pro-Ject T1 BT. It's clear that the quality (and, to me, the look) of the Pro-Ject T1 BT is far superior to the Sony, but my question has to do with the connectivity of each - I'm assuming either would work equally well by connecting to our home audio setup via Bluetooth, correct? The Sony lists a feature of pairing up to eight Bluetooth devices (headphones, portable speakers, etc.) so that manual pairing need not be done when switching between devices - does anyone know if the Pro-Ject has any similar functionality? Considering our balanced goal of quality performance and ease-of-use/-setup, does anyone have any thoughts on which route we should take?
