Read on to find our top picks for turntables as well as get a short guide to buying the right turntable for your needs. Which is why we put together this guide to help you buy the best turntable for beginners. There are far too many technical terms to deal and all the standard audio brands that you know of rarely have any offerings in this category. Now, you can buy them on any retail store, including Amazon.īecause of this new-found accessibility, more and more beginners are turning to vinyl, and, by proxy, to turntables.Īs a beginner, buying a turntable can be challenging. I remember hunting for cartridges and styluses on eBay (even the UK version) in the 2000s. Thanks to this renewed interest, turntables have become cheaper and more accessible. Vinyl has, of course, enjoyed a resurgence ever since hipsters rediscovered it in the 2010s. Plus, if you're like me, you accept the pops and scratches as “battle scars” of the vinyl's physical history. And while the sound on a CD might be cleaner, vinyl has a characteristic analog warmth that's hard to replicate. Yet, there is something incredibly satisfying about pulling a record from its sleeve, placing it on a turntable, and docking in the stylus. You also have to be super careful about storing vinyl – something you don't have to even think about with digital mediums. Then there are the vagaries of the physical medium itself – notches or scratches impact playback, as well as reduced HF near the inner radius. From a purely technical perspective, vinyl's audio quality is lower than CDs and many digital formats such as FLAC. On paper, vinyl should have no place in an audiophile's library.
