It's a very small discount, but our favourite budget turntable is worth considering for sheer value. The Primary E is a multiple Award winner that nails the basics at this price, delivering a detailed, spacious, balanced and entertaining sound. The set-up is minimal and while it looks plain, this 'purist' design is a great starter hi-fi turntable for those getting into vinyl.

This Pro-Ject won us over with its sweet-sounding midrange and easy-going balance that's immediately likeable. The Debut Evo 2 is easy to use and comes in a variety of colourful hues, and you can get your hands on one that's currently available for £50 off. It's an opened box but the deck is unused, hence the clearance deal. But still, any saving on a deck this good is worth taking advantage of.
Deal price available on satin wine red finish only

Audio-Technica’s excellent LP5x turntable is another deck that has stood the test of time, delivering a richly detailed, robust and sure-footed performance that's enjoyable and easy to use. It comes with a very good built-in phono stage for both MC and MM cartridges, has a USB port for ripping vinyl into digital files, and is sleek and sturdy. The price has increased to £380 across retailers, making this a pretty big discount.

Robust build quality with all the DJ trappings, it's no wonder Technics remains a go-to for vinyl fans. The premium SL-1200GR Mk2 version sounds clean, punchy and muscular, and is a delight to use. And it's even more delightful now it's £200 off at Peter Tyson, while both the silver and black (1210GR2) finishes can be had at the discounted price.

This easy-to-use turntable comes with built-in phono stage and Bluetooth streaming, and delivers a smooth, easy-going sound that's enjoyable to listen to.

This deal is available for the piano black model only.

The ATLP120USB we tested many years ago was a sturdy performer with a tonally even sound and ample features, including a USB output for ripping your vinyl into digital files to a Mac or PC. The updated 'X' model features a more efficient direct drive motor, anti-skating adjustment, a refreshed design and a switchable phono preamp. As a budget spinner, it's a solid design for vinyl newbies and amateur DJs. Deal price on silver finish only.
Black finish available for £245 at Amazon
