Because the bass from the speakers can cause vibrations. Therefore, it is generally advised to place the turntable on a stable shelf away from the speakers. Turntables are highly sensitive to vibrations. And the tiny speakers won’t reproduce sound with any bass or clarity at all.Īnd there is actually a much bigger problem. The tonearm and cartridge will be of very low quality and not able to read the records grooves with any level of precision. These types of record players should be considered toys and not real Hi-Fi products. The problem is that to be able to manufacture a record player with everything included (chassis, platter, tonearm, cartridge, amplifier and speakers) that sells for so little money, all the parts have to be of extremely low quality. (PS! The difference between turntables and record players are explained in the end of this article.) How Much is a Turntable?Īlright, now it is time to address the biggest pitfall to avoid when buying a turntable (or record player).Īnd that is, in my opinion, to buy a cheap all-in-one record player with speakers and everything built into the cabinet. If you, on the other hand, just walk into a hypermarket and pick the very first record player you see, then you (and your records) might be in a bit of trouble. If you are serious about picking the very best turntable for your needs, the best thing you can do is to visit these kind of stores to get hands on experience with different models. The type of shops were the staff is real Hi-Fi experts that help you choose gear and let you sit down and listen to and compare different products. I also like to visit smaller dedicated Hi-Fi shops. And it is convenient to spend time on their website comparing specs and reviews of different models. They generally have good prices on turntables and the biggest selection. My favorite place to shop for vinyl gear is probably Amazon. Examples of retailers that sell a lot of turntables include Walmart, Target, Urban Outfitters, Best Buy and Amazon. Turntables can be found in hypermarkets, department stores, electronics stores, dedicated Hi-Fi stores, and many online marketplaces. I will do my best to help you avoid the pitfalls and make a good choice later in this short guide. That you pick a good product and get high value in return for the money you spend.
