The Stir It Up Lux includes the midrange Audio-Technica AT-95E, the older version of A-T’s newer VM95E that I recently reviewed on the comparable Fluance RT81+ Elite. The recycled aluminum platter looks good; even the slip mat is made from recycled plastic and rubber. House of Marley is the audio company founded by Bob’s son Rohan, who made a name for himself as a linebacker on the University of Miami football team and was the longtime partner of singer Lauryn Hill. In the 41 years since reggae legend Bob Marley died at age 36, he’s become one of the most revered artists in popular music history. The slipmats and feed are made of the company’s Regrind silicone, which is manufactured from reclaimed manufacturing scraps that might otherwise go into a dumpster.

The output via the in-built pre-amp (I do not have a separate phono-stage in my hi-fi) is of a good volume and provides good decent response when compared to other line in devices.

The Bluetooth worked well and although you lose some of the vinyl nuance (you’re digitizing and compressing the audio then playing it on a single speaker), it’s still recognizably a record you’re listening to. On the tonearm, there is an adjustable counterweight, anti-skating control, and a lever for lifting the tonearm.The Stir It Up Lux also comes with an RCA cable in case you want to connect it to your own speakers, and there's a headphone jack too. In addition to this, the lightweight aluminium headshell and tonearm work together to ensure the turntable’s tracking ability is next level. With Bluetooth connectivity, its anti-skate mechanism, adjustable counter-balance and a built-in pre-amp, the Stir It Up Lux Turntable brings epic sound and sustainability together. The Stir It Up Lux comes with everything you need to do this, including a stylus pressure gauge (the little white plastic seesaw thing pictured above), although I prefer to do it manually. The only thing missing from the Stir It Up Lux is a dust cover, which this line of turntables has never included.
