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: turntable for lps

Match speeds to your record collection

LPs spin at 33 1/3 RPM, singles at 45 RPM and older records at 78 RPM. The Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT covers 33-1/3 and 45 RPM, while the FEKTIK, the TANLANIN players and the Victrola Empire cover all three speeds. Check which speeds your records need before you choose, and pick a 3-speed player if your collection mixes LPs, singles and older records.

Decide how you will listen

Built-in speakers let you play records with no extra equipment, and the FEKTIK, both TANLANIN players and the Victrola Empire each have them. If you already own speakers or an amplifier, RCA output connects to them, and each pick here offers RCA output. Bluetooth is on each pick here, so you can stream audio wirelessly from a phone or to wireless speakers.

Check the extras that matter to you

Some players here do more than spin records. The FEKTIK and the Victrola Empire play CD and cassette in addition to vinyl, and the FEKTIK records vinyl to USB or SD. The TANLANIN suitcase player converts vinyl and AUX input audio to MP3 and WAV files on a USB flash drive or TF card. Auto stop ends platter rotation at the end of compatible records, and both TANLANIN players offer it.
