The best turntable deals 2023

Whether you're looking for your first budget record player or are a long-standing vinyl fan hankering after a more premium turntable – an upgrade, even – there may well be a deal on this page with your name on it.

From entry-level decks at budget prices to more premium offerings delivering more serious sound quality, there are a handful of excellent turntable deals on excellent turntables available right now.

You can choose from purist turntables that require a separate phono stage-toting amplifier or ones with the phone stage built-in. Some have Bluetooth, allowing you to essentially play your records through your headphones or wireless speakers, while others are a full all-in-one system in their own right.

While turntables don't always see mega price slashes, there are usually some decent deals to be had in the run up to the Christmas and Black Friday deals season, not to mention Amazon Prime Day summer sale that's just around the corner in July. Here's our pick of the best turntable deals you can still get, featuring the likes of Pro-Ject, Audio Technica, Sony and more...

Best record player deals

Sony PS-LX310BT Bluetooth was £249

Sony PS-LX310BT Bluetooth was £249 now £229 at Amazon (save £20)
Here, Sony has generously given us a ‘plug and play’ fully automatic deck, including a phono stage, thrown in Bluetooth and priced it at the low end of the market. Five stars

Audio-Technica AT-LP5x  £349

Audio-Technica AT-LP5x £349 £299 at Amazon (save £50)
Audio-Technica’s original AT-LP5 turntable was a winner. This LP5x model now comes with an easier-to-fit cartridge, and a built-in phono stage for both MC and MM. And it even sounds a little cleaner than its predecessor. Winner again. Five stars

Pro-Ject Juke Box E:  was £499

Pro-Ject Juke Box E: was £499 now £399 at Sevenoaks (save £100)
This record player is something of a rarity. It’s an all-in-one system that demands very few compromises, given its price. The deck is tricked out with an Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, amplification and Bluetooth receiver. The features are on point and so is the performance, making this deal difficult to ignore. Five stars

Lenco L-85  was £119

Lenco L-85 was £119 now £70 at Robert Dyas (save £49)
This is the cheapest deal we've seen on this plug-and-play deck that's perfect for vinyl beginners. You get USB recording, a built-in phono stage and it's a surprisingly balanced and likeable sound, especially with vocals.
