Analog Gear News

Many of us had to start at a certain entry level for how we initially joined the analog-loving universe. As we navigated our way through the next levels of the audiophile signal chain — er, foodchain — we also benefited from having a relatively clear path to follow as to what gear to get next while on our quest for achieving the best sound (as well as being mindful about how much we could afford to spend along the way of getting ourselves there). It may not have been an easy road for some of us on our way up the high-end playback mountain, but I think we’d all agree it was well worth the effort.

Those of us who are considered to be long-entrenched, tried-and-true, lifelong audiophiles are often asked advice by newcomers to the field about how they can get into the fold without breaking the bank — and we really do have to take a step off our lofty perches sometimes to try and meet people where they are in their own feeling-out process so we can, frankly, help them become eventual fellow lifers as well. Thus, sharing reasonable starting points is something that’s key to that process.

When it comes to such starting points, Victrola knows how to bring people into the analog realm — and to that end, today, June 10, 2025, the company is announcing the official availability of their Harmony Bluetooth Turntable System With Shelf Speakers. This new, full-size turntable system with matching stereo speakers actually had its initial unveiling at CES 2025 in Las Vegas back in January. (Footnote 1)

According to Victrola, The Harmony system is designed to, quote, “help listeners move beyond entry-level turntables without diving into complicated, high-end setups,” and it features a full-size, belt-driven table and comes with matching stereo bookshelf speakers. The Harmony table is fitted with a premium Audio-Technica ATN3600L moving magnet (MM) cartridge, and the system writ large boasts “a warm mid-century aesthetic” (as can be seen in the photos all throughout this story).

Available in walnut (specific model number: VTS-1300-WLN), natural (VTS-1300-NAT, as seen above), and black (VTS-1300-BLK) finishes, the Victrola Harmony’s premium bookshelf speakers include a woofer, tweeter, and bass port for “enhanced depth and clarity.”

The Harmony’s built-in VINYLSTREAM™ Bluetooth output offers flexible, modern playback options, while its built-in Bluetooth input connects smartphones, tablets, and other compatible device to the stereo speakers.

The Harmony table offers playback speeds of 33 1/3, 45, and 78rpm (a 45rpm adapter is provided). Input power is given as 100-240V – 50/60Hz AC, and consumption as 30W.

An RCA output, headphone jack, and 3.5mm aux input are on hand to connect external speakers, headphones, or other additional audio sources. Additional features of the Harmony system package include a removable dust cover, 45rpm adaptor, power cable, two speaker cables, and an instruction manual.

The dimensions of the Harmony turntable are 4.6 x 14.9 x 14.5in (w/h/d), and its weight is 12.3lb. The dimensions of the Harmony speakers are 7.95 x 5.11 x 5.9in (w/h/d), and their weight is 5.58kg.

Finally, the SRP for the Harmony Bluetooth Turntable System With Shelf Speakers is $299.99.
