Vinyl is, as you're probably tired of hearing by now, huge. Driven by megastars such as Taylor Swift, vinyl sales broke past the $1 billion mark in 2025, capping a meteoric rise in sales of $800 million since 2016. This means that, unlike the modern cassette player market, which is much smaller, there's a dizzying number of new turntables out there. From big-name, legacy brands like Technics and Rega to newer entrants like Fluance and U-Turn, there really is a turntable out there for everyone. Thankfully, you don't actually have to part with that much cash to get a solid, reliable turntable.
