Yes, it’s sad that Amazon’s fall Prime Day event is over, but the future — and even the present — still looks bright for deal hunters. Black Friday is just over a month away, after all, and some of the best Prime Day deals are still hanging around. Right now, for example, you can pick up the Victrola Stream Onyx turntable from Amazon, Best Buy, and direct from Victrola for a record low of $399.99 ($200 off).
Save for a few differences when it comes to materials and color, the Stream Onyx is similar to the $800 Stream Carbon we tested last year. Like the Carbon, the belt-driven turntable can wirelessly transmit audio to Sonos speakers, which gives users the unique ability to stream vinyl straight to their entire Sonos system without the need for any extra equipment. It’s also relatively small for a turntable, meaning it can fit just about anywhere, and it comes with the same illuminated knob for adjusting your Sonos speaker’s volume that we loved on the Stream Carbon. The Onyx just uses a less expensive cartridge and relies on a thick molded plastic as opposed to metal for the knob, faceplate, and inlay, which keeps the cost down.
The two-speed Victrola Stream Onyx may be a cheaper alternative to last year’s Stream Carbon, but it still features a carbon tonearm, a metal platter, and the unique ability to stream records straight to a Sonos system.
Speaking of audio, Sony’s SRS-XB100 is currently available at Amazon, Best Buy, and direct from Sony starting at $48 ($12 off).
