Ask any audiophile and they'll concur there's nothing quite like the sound of vinyl. Records may be retro, but today's best turntables embrace the best of both worlds: vintage vibes with modern features like Bluetooth and wireless technology. Right now, thanks to some early Black Friday sales, one such player -- the Sony S-LX310BT belt drive turntable -- is currently on sale at Amazon for the record-low price of $178. That's $72 off, making this the lowest price we've seen for this feature-packed record player.
The Sony S-LX310BT belt drive turntable gives off some decidedly '70s feels and is easy to operate. It features one-step auto start, stop and return. You can use both wired connection for speakers or cast via Bluetooth.

The turntable also features a USB output that allows you to do USB ripping to an MP3 on your computer, so you can take that vinyl sound to go. It comes with a dust cover and plays both at 33 1/3 rpm and has a 45 rpm adaptor that has its own stash spot so it's always at the ready, allowing you to switch easily.
