What Is a Turntable Used For?
A turntable is a device used to play sound recordings. It works by having a motor that spins a platter at a constant speed without making noise. Once a vinyl record has been placed on the platter, the belt drive and direct drive technologies turn vibrations into sound. A vinyl player provides high-quality sound given its analog nature, making it ideal for music lovers.
What Is the Difference Between a Record Player and a Turntable?
A record player is a good option for those just starting to get into vinyl. It’s typically cheaper and easier to use. Record players usually come with a pre-loaded cartridge, a built-in phono stage, and cables, so they require minimal setup and adjustments. On the other hand, a turntable is more sophisticated and more expensive. Turntables are built with higher tolerances and allow you to adjust the tonearm, cartridge, phono stage, and audio cables. There’s a lot more setup and calibration available on a turntable compared to a record player.
