New Turntables to Fit Any Budget
Advances in technology and a hot market make now a great time to buy your next model

In the market for a new turntable? Here are some affordable, high-quality options.
As the CD faces extinction, listeners looking for a tactile experience have increasingly turned to vinyl. Almost every major release is available in LP form, and sales have shot up 260 percent since 2009. The vinyl renaissance has, in turn, led to better turntables: High-end manufacturers are zeroing in on new materials that minimize distortion, while a growing array of entry-level units offers stellar, skip-free sound for less than $200.
