TURNTABLE SPECIAL
Turntables are back. With vinyl sales at the kind of high we haven’t seen in years, and Technics and Sony turntables taking the limelight away from TVs at this year’s CES, it feels as though the vinyl revival is reaching a peak. The four turntables we’ve featured here cover a wide price-band in an attempt to suit every budget, with our decks carrying price tags from £100 to over £1000. The five-time Award-winning Clearaudio Concept is joined by brand-new decks from Lenco, Pro-Ject and Rega, each offering a different experience and sonic flavour. We’ve also put together an exhaustive guide to every aspect of the turntable, from explaining types of cartridges to guiding you through each step of the setting-up process. By the end of this special fea ture, we guarantee you’ll be able to get the best possible performance out of your turntable.
