Hi folks,
I’ve decided to make the switch and I’m not sure which vinyl player to go for. Here are my requirements:
- Good sound, obviously
- Headphone jack
- Lightweight
- Self powered, rather than mains
- Bump resistant (I spend a lot of time on bus journeys each day)
- Straps for my back (while shopping for groceries, I need to be hands-free)
- Waterproof up to 2m because I swim at weekends
Anyway, this post was just for fun. I’m jealous of all your vinyl collections. I’m way too mobile to consider the investment but I wish you all well.


Yep, batteries, headphone jack(s!) and a shoulder strap. And since Dual put their name to it, I might even trust it with my vinyl…!
I see you can get new ones from Audiotechnica for ~250 https://www.audio-technica.com/en-eu/at-sb727
I’m going to be an analog purist just for the sake of it, and go “ew, bluetooth” 😆
Yeah, I’m with you on that
The new one only has line out annoyingly. But you can add a headphone amp.
That is annoying
