Our pick of the best turntables for vinyl fans…
Best Record Players Buying Guide: the best turntables you can buy in 2021.
Whether you’re buying your first turntable having just discovered the joys of vinyl, replacing a dusty old turntable or looking to upgrade your existing record player, we can help point you in the right direction.
Our round-up features a choice of affordable turntables at the budget end of the market, plus a selection of premium record players if you’re looking to get serious about your system’s sound quality. You can even get a wireless Bluetooth turntable should you want to stream your vinyl selections, or a USB turntable if you’d like to digitise your vinyl collection.
Most of the decks here are pretty much plug-and-play, and come with the tonearm and cartridge attached. You might need to balance the tonearm and set the tracking weight, but this is pretty simple – just follow the supplied instructions. In case there’s no cartridge as standard, it could be worth visiting our list of the best cartridges you can buy for some inspiration.
