Sony PS-LX250H

A fully automatic belt-drive turntable system with built-in phono preamp, designed for easy vinyl playback with modern audio systems.

Overview

The Sony PS-LX250H is a stereo turntable system made by Sony, designed for straightforward vinyl playback with both traditional and modern audio setups. It features fully automatic operation, meaning it can start playback and return the tonearm automatically after a record finishes. This model includes a built-in phono preamp, allowing direct connection to line-level inputs on receivers, home theater systems, or computer sound cards without needing external amplification. Marketed as an accessible entry-level option, it supports 33 1/3 and 45 rpm records and uses a moving magnet (MM) cartridge type ATN3600LX, which has a non-removable cartridge but a replaceable stylus, with compatible replacement parts like the Sony N-6516 or ATN3600LX stylus.
