  • PositiveUnmistakable design
  • PositiveSound-neutral, stable Bluetooth transmission with aptX HD
  • PositiveAutomatic limit switch-off
  • NegativeTonearm bearing has play
  • NegativeSounds quite dark and lacking in detail with a standard pickup

The above comparison with Pro-Ject and Rega is a little unfair. Because the sparring partners are purist turntables with an absolute minimum of features. While the JBL scores points with a limit switch, integrated preamp and an excellent Bluetooth transmitter. If you value these features and can use them sensibly, you can forgive the Spinner BT for missing out on some sound potential...

  • NegativeTonearm with some bearing play
  • NegativeBluetooth button difficult to access

Does the JBL Spinner BT live up to its big name? For the price, it is certainly a very attractive turntable. Those looking for the best analogue sound for their money will still end up with other players. For example, the Rega P2, which is hardly more expensive but clearly superior in terms of sound...
