Turntable (Vinyl Players)

Turntables remain one of the most enjoyable ways to listen to music, offering a more hands-on and engaging experience than streaming or digital playback. Whether you are buying your first record player or upgrading to a more serious vinyl setup, there are turntables available to suit everything from a simple lounge room system to a dedicated hi-fi system.

The main differences between turntables come down to drive system, level of automation and cartridge choice. Belt-drive turntables are the most common, offering quiet operation and simple, reliable design. Direct-drive turntables are popular where fast start-up and speed stability are more important. Some turntables are fully manual, while others offer automatic operation or a built-in phono stage for easier setup.

Many turntables are fitted with a moving magnet cartridge, while others are available with a moving coil cartridge or with no cartridge fitted at all if you would prefer to choose one yourself. Some models are designed to be simple and easy to use, while others offer greater upgrade potential as your system grows.
