National Vinyl Record Day: Best turntables for every music lover
Let’s take it back to 1895, when the first commercial record player was released.
The debut of the record player intrigued many while its capabilities crafted allure and its sound created joy.
That was until the radio took over the music scene and pushed vinyl to the sidelines.
It seemed as if turntables were done for until DJs of the 80s and 90s started to use them as a rhythmic instrument.
Now, it’s as if record players never left, as music gurus are turning back to the beloved electronic to listen to coveted vinyls.
Turntables also now offer bluetooth pairing, AM and FM radio, AUX plugins and more.
Keep reading to find the best record player for you. Options include record players with speakers, bluetooth record players, portable record players and more.
