Best turntable 2020: The top record players to buy today
Whether or not you're on board, the vinyl hype train is in motion - it's back, baby. There's even vinyl for sale in some larger supermarkets and there's also stacks on online retailers like Amazon. After years of apparent obsolescence, we're in the middle of the great record revival, so it follows that record players are continuing to release regularly, meaning people need to know which ones to consider.
Vinyl has an inherent desirability to it, and a greater sense of permanence and ownership compared to other platforms. Whether it be the larger album artwork compared to a CD, the physical act of having to get up and turn over the disc to listen to the other side, or that many consider it to sound superior to other formats.
If you've been interested in jumping aboard the vinyl bandwagon, but have yet to get yourself a turntable, look no further. We've gathered together a bunch of the best record players available today.
The best records to play on your new turntable
Once you've hopefully got your turntable sorted, you'll want some records to play on it. A lot of older albums are being reissued on 180g vinyl, which will give you a better quality of sound. Records should have a sticker to indicate they're 180g, so make sure you look out for it when you go shopping. What's more many come with either Amazon Auto-Rip MP3 versions for free, or download codes to get digital copies. Win win.
To help get you started, we've picked out five of our favourite classics:
