Record Players
My first record player was an Audio Technica!
DO NOT BUY Crosley's or Victrola Players. You cannot remove the needle and they are poor quality and can actually damage your records. I know they are cute but trust me. My Dad is an Audiophile and Audio Technica offers the best beginner players that...
Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Auto Belt-Drive Turntable
Minimal setup and Bluetooth connectivity make this a great beginner turntable
Sony PS-LX310BT Wireless Bluetooth Turntable
Known to have better sound quality among the other entry-level turntables.
Pro-Ject E1 Record Player w/ OM5e, 33/45 Speed
BEST ALL-IN-ONE. Has built in speakers so all you need is this to start playing records.
ANGELS HORN Bluetooth Vinyl Record Player
Speakers
Speakers will be the most expensive and the most important aspect of your sound system.
Perhaps not within a beginners budget- We have these and they sound absolutely amazing.
Forte IV Floorstanding Speaker
A good wireless option for those who have bluetooth players and want a minimal (and tangle-free) setup
I have speakers this size in my small bedroom and don't worry they still play pretty loud! Perfect for a small-medium room.
Sony SS-CS5M2 3-Way Hi-res Bookshelf Speakers
Stereo Cabinets/Displays
Unfortunately, stereos take up some room…
I have this in my bedroom. I fits my turntable and two small speakers on the top. Holds a lot of records, I have books in one of the cubbies. Highly recommend this one.

Quality crafted and so sleek. Many options to customize to your finish of choice!

Small enough to fit a basic setup.
Houseables Record Player Cabinet
Not just wall art, but a way to show off a special record!

We have a Spin Clean from the 80s and it works a charm!

Records get dusty real quick- a quick brush before you play can make a big difference. Also keeps dust from collecting on the needle.
