How we ranked these turntables

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Built-in phono preamp weight 2
  • Bluetooth weight 1
  • USB audio to computer weight 1
  • Built-in speakers weight 1

Buying advice: portable USB turntable

Match the speeds to your records

All three picks play 33, 45 and 78 RPM records, so speed alone does not separate them. The white TANLANIN suitcase plays 7, 10 and 12 inch records. Check the sizes in your collection first, then choose the deck whose speeds and sizes match the records you already own.

Decide how you want to listen

Two picks carry built-in speakers: the black TANLANIN suitcase with dual 5W speakers and the white TANLANIN suitcase with built-in stereo speakers. All three picks offer Bluetooth streaming and RCA output for an external speaker. If you want private listening, look for a headphone jack: the white TANLANIN suitcase and the GOLDSHIP suitcase both include one.

Plan how you will digitize records

Two picks record vinyl to digital files over USB: the black TANLANIN suitcase and the white TANLANIN suitcase. The GOLDSHIP suitcase plays digital music over USB instead, so it suits a buyer who already has digital files and wants USB playback. If digitizing a collection is the goal, choose one of the two TANLANIN suitcases and confirm the USB recording step before starting a large batch.
