Record player rec

hkretzer

Hey BM fam! I’m needing some recs on good record players. Currently have a cheap ass one that I’ve had since getting married. My vinyl collection is growing and I want something better. For those that have quality players, what do yall use?

Thanks!!

Any all-in-one will be good for normal use. Stay away from Crolsey though and get a Victrola! If you have the dough to invest in a good set-up, Audio Technica has great mid-grade (sub $250) turntables. Then you can go to your local thrift shop and get any Audio amplifier and speaker set. Trust me, the investment is worth it.

AT-LP120XUSB is what I personally use.

@hkretzer I just got the Audio Technica Sound Burger and it is FLAWLESS! So dope with the hard case additional purchase. Stoked to have this thing for many years. Pairs quickly with Bluetooth speaker(s) and also comes with cables for actual wired speaker systems too!

I have an entry level Audio Technica (I think it's the AT-LP60XBT). Never had an issue

@hkretzer Victrola makes incredible, affordable record players. Not sure if you need one for a smaller space/fitting into current house vibes-but Victrola makes a wide range of colors and sizes. They are the best for sure!

@luisptitus that’s the one I’m looking picking up myself, as people frequently recommend it as a fair starting point with quality and price.
