The built-in amplifier makes playing a little louder and clearer than using the turntable's built-in speaker, and the unit's simple remote control is a nice touch.

The sound is clear, and the turntable works well with both analog and digital inputs, including USB and AUX. The turntable is portable, and the cord is long enough to easily connect it to a computer or TV. The BT-38SM is the best-sounding turntable we tested, but it also has the biggest screen and is the most feature-packed. The Bluetooth connection is stable and fairly fast, but it only works with a Bluetooth range of about 10 feet (that's good, but not great). If you're buying a turntable, you may prefer something more simple and no-frills, but the BT-38SM has each feature that a turntable should have, including turntable, radio, and cassette functions, as well as the ability to record your favorite songs onto USB or SD cards.

The Classic Record Player System from AW is a nicely built, attractive, and easy-to-use turntable that can play both CDs and vinyl, as well as MP3 files. While you do need to buy the optional Bluetooth dongle to use Bluetooth audio, the USB input is high-quality, and it's also pretty easy to set up a Bluetooth connection to your phone. The speakers are decent, and the turntable is very heavy, so it's built better than many of the smaller portable units we tested. Both playback modes, vinyl and MP3, sound great, and the unit only gets warm to the touch when the Bluetooth connection is active. We loved the retro look and vintage-inspired design, but the RCA line-out is also a nice bonus. The only drawback is that we wish it could play higher-resolution audio files, such as FLACs, high-res MP3s, or 24 bit/96KHz audio files.
