Turntables

Also known as a record deck, a turntable is a hi-fi component that in most cases deals solely with the playback of vinyl records when connected to a compatible hi-fi system. Certain turntables allow you to record and immortalise your favourite vinyls onto your PC or Mac, or record straight to a compatible MP3 player. The best ones are generally made from strong, vibration resistant materials that minimise distortion and allow you to enjoy the warm, clear sound of your favourite records.
