Vinyl record sales are booming as music lovers flock back to albums. Streaming is fine when you’re on the move, but nothing quite compares to the ritual of getting into the groove, and admiring sleeve art when you’re relaxing at home.
Of course, every record collector needs a turntable - and if your vinyl addiction is new, or you're looking to upgrade an older turntable, the player choice has never been better. I’ve been listening to a selection of newer, reasonably priced (starting at less than £200) record players from different brands. While they all make playing records simple and enjoyable, there are clear differences between them.
