Interesting in getting in on the vinyl revival, or looking to upgrade your old record player? There's no better time to start a vinyl collection than now, with so much choice available when it comes to new records and new turntables. But can you get decent savings on good turntables? You sure can. We're here to help you out by highlighting the best turntable deals currently around.

It's worth noting that while you might see plenty of record players with affordable price tags or with their prices slashed, they might not necessarily be of the best quality. Our curated list of deals below focuses on the turntables that we've personally tested in our dedicated listening rooms and, with nearly 50 years of experience in testing turntables, we can guarantee you'll be getting a certain level of sound quality, build and features for the money. Vinyl records are pretty pricey after all, so you (and we) want to make sure that your new turntable does your record collection justice by being of a good standard to start with.

If you want to look at a wider variety of turntables, check out our guide to the best turntables overall, the best budget record players and the best high-end turntables.
