SME unveils Synergy, a £14,950 all-in-one turntable

You can pay thousands of pounds for a high-end turntable but you're not always guaranteed all the bits required to go spinning straight out of the box.

For example, it's not uncommon to have to add a tonearm and cartridge which both add to the cost. And that's before you start trying to find the perfect combination for your particular deck.

All the control circuitry and the turntable's power supply have been placed in an external case to keep them isolated from the main turntable body. You get 33.3, 45 and 78rpm speed options, plus fine pitch speed adjustment.
