The best turntable deals 2025: 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.

We love a good deal on this excellent, if plain-looking, Sony Bluetooth turntable. The PS-LX310BT is a plug-and-play, fully automatic design that includes a phono stage and can connect to up to eight Bluetooth headphones or speakers. For its budget price, it is well built and sounds entertaining, and ideal for vinyl beginners or who want ultimate convenience when playing records.

The Award-winning Technics SL-1500C is one of the best-sounding, fuss-free direct drive record players we've heard for under a grand. Its rock-solid build is coupled with a solid, stable and commanding sound, while the fact it comes with a built-in phono stage is a boon at this level, making it easy to incorporate into most music systems. The deal price is only available on the black finish.

Pro-Ject’s simple but effective T1 Evo BT sets a new benchmark for Bluetooth turntables thanks to its simplicity, flexibility and performance at this level. This £40 saving is worth pouncing upon if you're hunting for a bargain. The deal price is available across all three finishes, but all three are currently only available for pre-order with stocks due back soon.

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 with this £50 saving. Richer Sounds is also throwing a free Ortofon cartridge worth £319 into this turntable deal, which is available on both silver and black (1210GR2) finishes.

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. The AT-LPW50BTRW looks lovely too, and worth the discount if you're after a trendy, capable and versatile Bluetooth turntable that you can connect to wireless speakers and Bluetooth headphones.

This Pro-Ject Debut Revolve is a Peter Tyson exclusive, and while we've not reviewed this exact model, this is a very nice £200 saving on a deck with a strong heritage.

We are big fans of Pro-Ject's Debut range (the current Debut Evo 2 is a What Hi-Fi? Award winner), and so it's a great foundation for this Revolve deck. It comes with an acrylic platter, the reliable Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, electronic speed control for 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, and has a built-in phono stage.

Deal price on satin grey finish 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.

While it didn't represent the best value when we tested it at its full price of just under £1000, the retro-modern JBL TT350 Classic direct drive turntable is a different animal when slashed to just £499. At this knockdown price, its sound-per-pound ratio is vastly improved, making it far easier to recommend.
