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: record player with speakers

Built-in speakers versus separate speakers

All four picks have built-in speakers, so each plays records through its own speakers. The 1 BY ONE High Fidelity and the DIGITNOW also have a built-in amplifier for connection to external powered speakers, while the 1 BY ONE Fully Automatic includes a pair of bookshelf speakers and the QLEARSOUL SoulBox S1 pairs stereo bookshelf speakers with the turntable. If you already own powered speakers, the amplifier connection on the first two picks matters; if not, compare the included speakers.

Automatic operation and manual setup

The 1 BY ONE Fully Automatic starts playback with a single press: the tonearm moves, plays and returns at the end of the record, and it is ready to play right out of the box with minimal setup. The 1 BY ONE High Fidelity, the DIGITNOW and the QLEARSOUL SoulBox S1 each have an adjustable counterweight, so setup on those three includes balancing the tonearm. The Fully Automatic also adds a repeat function, a memory function and a remote control.

Speeds, cartridges and preamps

A belt-drive turntable spins records at set speeds: the 1 BY ONE High Fidelity, the DIGITNOW and the QLEARSOUL SoulBox S1 play at 33 and 45 RPM, and the 1 BY ONE Fully Automatic plays at 33⅓ and 45 RPM. A magnetic cartridge holds the stylus that tracks the record grooves: the High Fidelity and the DIGITNOW name a magnetic cartridge, and the Fully Automatic and the SoulBox S1 name the AT-3600L cartridge. A built-in phono preamp prepares the turntable signal for speakers: the DIGITNOW, the Fully Automatic and the SoulBox S1 have one.
