Victrola’s cheapest Sonos-ready turntable has fallen to yet another low

Victrola’s entry-level Works with Sonos turntable lets you stream all your records to your Sonos speakers like its pricier siblings — including the forthcoming Stream Sapphire and midrange Stream Carbon. What you don’t get is the Sapphire’s unique ability to stream records to practically anything or the Carbon’s high-end Ortofon Red 2M cartridge, metal knob, faceplate, and inlay. Instead, the high-quality turntable relies primarily on thick plastic components, a carbon tonearm, and either an Audio-Technica AT-VM95E or Ortofon OM5E cartridge. It still looks almost as slick as Victrola’s pricier models, however, and features a simple setup and an illuminated knob for quickly adjusting the volume on the fly.

If you’re looking for a more affordable way to wirelessly transmit audio to your Sonos system without the need for any extra equipment, you won’t find another record player on the market quite like the Onyx.
