A Classic Suitcase-Style Record Player
One of the best gift ideas for vinyl fans is a suitcase turntable, like this one from Amazon. You can play your favorite vinyl records through this three-speed player, which can also be used as a portable Bluetooth speaker. The best part: everything folds up into a suitcase so you can take your tunes on the go. We like this vintage-inspired finish on the suitcase exterior, though you can choose from other colors and prints online.
A Sleek and Chic Pick
One of the best turntable deals right now is on this Denon turntable, which has a slim and sleek contemporary look. Denon says this bestselling DP-29F model has been “precision-made with rigid die-cast aluminum to provide uniform inertial mass for perfectly stable turntable rotation.” All that means is consistent sound with no unwanted resonance. This set includes the diecast aluminum turntable, a turntable platter, rubber platter mat and dust cover.
An Old-School Record Player
Amazon has this retro-inspired record player on sale for under $200 right now. With a walnut wood look and bold black speaker grill, this record player is an aesthetic addition to your living room, office or den. Manufacturer FancyRabbit says the two-speed belt drive and acoustic housing has also been improved for warmer, richer sound.
A Modern and Minimalist Workhorse
Audio-Technica is one of the most-trusted names in the turntable space and this model is a perfect representation of what they’re known for: minimalist design, modern technology and high-fidelity audio. The AT-LP60XBT-BK Fully Automatic Wireless Belt-Drive Turntable comes with technical features you’d come to expect from a brand of their calibre — think die-cast aluminum platter, Bluetooth capabilities and a completely re-designed tonearm base and headshell for “improved tracking and reduced resonance,” per a product description.
All-in-One Vinyl Setup
You can also pick up a full record player set for just $239 right now with this Amazon deal, which gets you a two-speed record player with built-in phono preamp, along with two bookshelf speakers. Two meters on the front display panel show you peak power levels, while there are knobs for line-in, volume and pitch control. This would look great on a shelf or side console and it’s a very presentable gift idea for music fans. It’s also one of the best-reviewed turntable sets on Amazon, with a 4.5-star rating (out of five) from thousands of verified shoppers online.
A Design-Forward Pick
For something completely different — and truly presentable — pick up this modern record player, which is made from a crystal clear, premium acrylic, from base to platter. The transparent design makes this an instant conversation starter, and a great gift for home decor aficionados. It has all the bells and whistles too, like a weighted anti-vibration platform carbon fiber tone-arm, built-in switchable phono pre-amp, and Bluetooth 5.3 technology. Everything sits on a heavy, study base with metallic feet.
This set includes the clear record player, a travel charger, a removable see-through cover, RCA cable, a 45 RPM replacement circle and gloves for handling, because you want to see your records spinning — not see your fingerprints.
