And since the question has come up, the difference between a Record Player and a Turntable is simple, a record player is something that plays records, a turntable is something that has a round platter that turns, in practice any turntable that presents you with difficulties in changing a tonearm is a record player and conversely anything that is expressively designed to have easily interchangeable tonearms is a turntable.Decks capable of playing 78 RPM records are not listed separately but noted alongside in brackets, if you are interested in suchlike take a look at the 78 Rpm.

play records, and it may appear that there are only so many ways you can do that but in actuality what people are trying to archive when they are considering buying a record player can be a bit complex so this classification is the simplest thing I could come up with. The decks below are classified roughly by price and application, this may at times seem a bit artificial since after all they are all designed to do more or less the same thing. Turntables B - F, Turntables G - Q, Turntables R - Z, Record Cutters, Specialised Phono Retailers.Ĭurrently manufactured turntables & record players classified by type While these are often built into standalone amplifiers it's almost unheard of seeing them on a Mini or a Midi system, so you will either need to have a record player that has a built in preamp or to buy a standalone amplifier (a few manufacturers of those are listed on the RIAA preamplifiers page).Īnd if anyone thinks that the LP is dead here below are listed no fewer than 116 brands currently selling turntables with prices ranging from less than 50 € to over 90k €, and there are more to come. curves, so to use a record player with a modern system you need a preamplifier with a built in RIAA correcting equaliser (sometimes called a phono stage or a phonographic preamplifier). The modern LP is a microgroove record made out of PVC that utilises RIAA eq.
Refinements came in the 1920's when electronic signal amplification replaced mecanical or acoustic amplification giving way to a more accurate tonal and dynamic balance, and furthermore in the late forties when microgrove records came into use, giving us a more robust medium and longer playing times. The record player is around 130 years old and is based on the Grammophone that was introduced by German inventor Emile Berliner.

Stunning !, if you have any interest in LP reproduction you MUST download the catalogue from this company, incredible range of cartridges, turntables, arms etc., including models that other dealers say aren't made anymore or are "only available in Japan", and UK readers should note that it's sometimes cheaper to buy from this supplier via mail than to order the same item in the UK, and for some odd reason it's also cheaper to buy a Denon cart from this supplier than it's to buy them in Japan, odd.
