House of Marley Stir It Up
Budget turntables · 2017–? Discontinued
£60 typical UK used price
A bamboo-topped belt-drive made from sustainable and recycled materials, with USB ripping and a replaceable Audio-Technica cartridge.
The sustainability pick: bamboo, recycled aluminium and fabric made from recycled bottles.
Who it suits
Best suited to: a first turntable for casual, low-effort listening. Less ideal for: an existing hi-fi system where you want to hear more detail — the fixed cartridge and light tonearm are the limiting factors there; anyone who wants a manufacturer warranty — this model is no longer sold new.
Compatibility and setup
- Manual operation: you cue and lift the tonearm by hand at the start and end of each side — there’s no auto-return or auto-lift.
Good to know
- Has a built-in phono stage, so it can feed a normal line input on an amplifier or powered speakers without a separate phono box.
- Has a USB output for recording vinyl to a computer.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history — for this drive type, check the drive belt (often perished or stretched with age) and bearing, plus the stylus regardless.
