Cartridge names aren't disclosed; needles are replaceable, with the LX5BT cartridge swap allowed only via Sony service. LX3BT has a captive output cable; LX5BT uses a dedicated output. Both support aptX Adaptive Bluetooth and eight-device pairing. Prices: LX3BT £299/€350/AU$469; LX5BT £399/€460/AU$599. On sale now.
