Turntables are arguably more common than CD players these days but there’s a lot to understand if you want to get the best sound quality out of your record collection. There are plenty of models that look lovely but don’t have good quality components that really matter (and some can even damage your LPs).

Our expert testers review auto and manual turntables to tell you which models:

  • have the best sound quality using wired and wireless (Bluetooth) connectivity
  • are easiest to set up and use
  • have the best technical performance to help deliver accurate sound.

 

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
