I have a AT-Lp60 that I like since I'm clumsy and it's fully automatic . I'm going to move it out to the music cabin for use out there and want another setup in our basement for casual listening. I will be playing through some Edifier R1280db speakers. We often play while cleaning house and since it's a 3 level house I can't always be right there when a record finishes so I'm leaning towards at least an auto-stop turntable.

I could get a newer version of my Audio Technica but not crazy about the looks of it for something in a main living area. I like the looks and reviews of the Fluance RT81 and RT82 BUT I think the RT82 would require a the addition of a preamp... Both cost and another component and related wiring. I have also considered the

Sony PS-LX310BT.​


What others am I missing? Recommendations? Keep in mind what I'm playing this through. It's not a reference system. Bluetooth would be a big plus for use with my BT headphones. Unfortunately the Fluance doesn't have it.

Consider a Dual or Thorens, I believe they both have an auto lift feature on one table.
Rely on Stereophile (or other) reviewer, have not worked with this "causal" a table in a while.
- Good luck
