The best turntable deals 2026: lowest-ever prices on five-star record players

Even though it's not currently discounted, 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, although only one is currently available for £50 off. But still, any savings on a deck this good are 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. While there is no current deal on, it remains a great-value budget record player.

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.

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.
