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.

Scott O'Keefe

Scott O'Keefe worked at CHOICE from 2004 to 2024. He originally joined as a verifier, and started testing the year after. He went on to become a senior test coordinator in the digital home team and our resident expert on TVs, audio/visual and various other products such as car GPS and phones for seniors. Before CHOICE, Scott worked in IT for 22 years, mostly as a software engineer and team leader for a large insurance company. He also ran his own business, providing in-home PC and home-theatre support. His passions include myth-busting, anime, photography, and collecting vintage telephones and scientific hardware – he has an attic museum at home. He's also passionate about protecting his personal ID and data, so he doesn't have LinkedIn or Twitter accounts.
