It's been about 30 years since the vinyl player was in general demand and popularity. "Turntables", as they are called, have lost their functionality - modern sound systems and mobile audio devices have come in their place. An interesting fact is that vinyl players are sold in specialized stores to this day. Albums of the great classics and founders of music genres are released both on discs and on records. This proves that the "turntable" is a classic device that will always be sold and bought, even in small quantities. Moreover, the branded hisses and clicks of this magical device can immerse you in voluptuous dreams, seasoned with a fair amount of nostalgia.

Analysis in detail

Before choosing the most suitable player option for purchase, you need to understand its structure and how it works. To begin with, a turntable consists of a wide bore record adapter, a centerdiagrams, engine adjustment unit and tonearm. In turn, the assembly consists of a belt, an electric motor and the tonearm itself. Any vinyl player also has a volume and tone control, a speaker. The tonearm includes the following elements: a head, a needle holder, a body, a height regulator, a counterweight and a cartridge that converts the vibrations of the needle into an electrical signal. The principle of operation of the player is quite simple: it starts the rotation of the record, and the tonearm, in contact with the record, converts the vibrations into an electrical signal that is transmitted to the speaker.

Perfect Choice

Well, now you need to determine which vinyl player is best to choose. You need to start with the fact that any "turntable" requires additional equipment (if you want to achieve high-quality sound). It can be an amplifier, a receiver, or a Hi-Fi class system. Next, you need to pay attention to the fact that the players are divided into several types: DJ, rare (elite and expensive models) and budget. The choice of one or another type depends on the purposes for which the "turntable" is acquired. For example, for DJ events, the Technics turntable, model SL-1200MK2, is best suited, which incorporates all the best that such a device can offer (direct drive, fast starting speed, rotation speed stabilizer, aluminum housing, and so on).

An interesting option is the Pioneer turntable, whichcapable of reproducing high-quality sound at 33-45 rpm, having at its disposal a belt drive, a phono stage and an automated playback function. Rare turntables are Marantz turntables, which will provide smooth sound and complete immersion in the old days. Budget versions are presented by Sony. For example, the PS-LX250H model for a small price (about $80) will enable its owner to listen to their favorite songs in good quality.

Thus, in order to understand how to choose a vinyl player, you need to decide for what functions it is purchased, what amount of money the buyer has. In any case, the turntable is a great purchase for music lovers and fans of classical sound reproduction.
