Vinyl has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence in recent years, and today's turntables span everything from straightforward, beginner-friendly models to serious high-end decks built for the most demanding listeners. Choosing the right type largely comes down to how involved you want to be in the listening process, and how the turntable will fit into your existing system.

Belt driven turntables use a rubber belt to isolate the platter from motor vibration, generally offering superior sound quality and remaining the preferred choice among most audiophiles. Direct drive turntables connect the motor straight to the platter, offering faster start-up and greater durability, which has traditionally made them popular with DJs. For newcomers, automatic turntables handle cueing and stopping the tonearm for you, removing some of the manual operation that can feel daunting to beginners. Bluetooth turntables add wireless connectivity, letting you pair with modern speakers or headphones without cables.

Beyond the turntable itself, don't forget the accessories that keep your vinyl setup performing at its best - our Cartridges & Stylus and Vinyl Care & Upgrades ranges cover everything from replacement styli to record cleaning and turntable isolation.
