We couldn’t be more psyched that vinyl is back and bigger than (almost) ever before. Vinyl record sales are at a 25-year high and so it only makes sense turntables and record players are on the rise as well. There’s something super nostalgic about it and so we’re loving some of these turntables that look like they’re right off the set of Mad Men. Whether you’re looking for a professional turntable to spin on or just something cool for the beginner who just wants to hear music the way it’ssupposed to sound we’ve got you covered. Shop our picks for the best record players and turntables (so far) in 2017.
