Victrola goes fully Automatic with its affordable Bluetooth turntable

Victrola has been on a roll recently, releasing feature-packed wireless turntables such as the Stream Sapphire (£1299 / $1300), which is compatible with Sonos and UPnP streaming. But now it's the turn of a more affordable but still feature-heavy turntable to take the stage. 

The Victrola Automatic turntable was first announced at CES 2024 earlier this year, but the model is now confirmed and available from UK and US retailers. It's fully automatic in operation, meaning the tonearm will cue itself to the start of a record and automatically lift, stop and return at the end of a side. It's a convenient feature and also means less damage to the stylus over time if you've forgotten to lift the tonearm at the end of a record, as can happen with manual models. There's also a clever repeat function – much like the fully automatic five-star Rekkord F110 turntable does.
