Looking for a new turntable? With the vinyl format still growing in popularity and record players coming in so many varieties of styles, prices and different features, it's a great time to get into vinyl.

While the best turntables don't always have big (or any) discounts on the price, we do often find many excellent, five-star turntables with a healthy saving or two. We often find flash sales during the gifting season, so if you're in the market for a new record player or are after your very first vinyl set up, it's worth seeing if there are any good deals before taking the plunge.

We'll only be highlighting deals on turntables that we've tested and reviewed ourselves in our dedicated listening rooms, so you can rest assured you'll be getting a genuine recommendation and that the deck will deliver great-value performance. We've found savings on five-star record players at the budget and premium end of the price spectrum, so there should be something for everyone.

We've spotted some great deals on superb turntables from Pro-Ject, Sony, Audio-Technica and Technics – all at their lowest prices – so now could be the best time to make the plunge on that new turntable purchase...
