Turntables

As we've mentioned before, sales of vinyl records have been on the increase for a few years now. If you're looking for something rather special to spin your records on, but missed out on Brian Eno's limited runs, Audio Technica could have the answer.

Music lovers keen to join the vinyl revolution will need to invest in hi-fi gear, such as a turntable. Many disc spinners require listeners to get hands-on before grooving. But Pro-Ject removes this finicky process with a new Automat model.

Though best known for its music gear, Korg scratched its way into new territory last year with a tribute to the Handy Trax portable turntable. Now more flavors have been added to its Handytraxx family, to meet the demands of DJs, rippers and audiophiles.

High-end turntable maker VPI Industries has announced its first Forever Series vinyl spinner. Instead of having to invest in a brand new system when something better inevitably comes along, the Model One's modular components can be upgraded.

Austrian hi-fi brand Pro-Ject is probably best known for making high-end gear affordable, with its excellent Debut line a good example. But the company does make ultra-high-end models too, and now there's a new flagship Signature to rule the roost.

Though streaming accounts for much of our music consumption these days, vinyl records are far from dead. If you want your latest purchase to stand out while playing, then why not have it stand up on the Fuse Audio GLD vertical turntable?

With a smartphone in just about every pocket, we can carry our music with us wherever we go. But taking vinyl for a spin in the park is not so easy, which is where the retro-cool VibeSpin is designed to come in.

A limited-edition turntable will go on sale next week in the UK, created by iconic "non-musician" and artist Brian Eno. Packed with color-changing LED lights, the signed and numbered functional sculpture carries an eye-watering launch price of £20,000.

Dedicated DJs who value portability may have opted to spin their vinyl on a rather tasty turntable called the Vestax Handy Trax at the turn of the century. Now Korg is paying tribute with the Handytraxx Play.

Home audio brand Victrola snuggled up with Sonos back in 2022 with a streaming turntable designed to feed groovy tunes direct to Sonos speakers over a wireless connection. Now the company has expanded to Roon and beyond with the Stream Sapphire.

Harman brand JBL announced its first vinyl spinners back in January, including one that allowed for wireless playback via portable speakers, soundbars and headphones "without sacrificing audio quality." The Spinner BT is now available to buy.

More than a decade ago, a Swedish audio startup looked to stand out from the Bluetooth speaker space by rocking a see-through vibe. Now the company is taking a step towards providing "the complete listening experience" with the Transparent Turntable.
