The time between the end of summer and the beginning of the Christmas gifting season is a bit like no man's land when it comes to finding a good range of deals, especially on record players or turntables.

If you're looking to dip your toe into the world of vinyl or you're in the mood to upgrade, you might want to wait a few more weeks until November kicks off the annual Black Friday sales extravaganza proper for a greater number of discounts off great decks. However, if you simply can't wait to make your new turntable (or record player) purchase, then you're in luck – there are a fair few deals around on some great decks, and we've highlighted them all below.

Our curated list of deals in this guide focuses on the turntables that we've personally tested in our dedicated listening rooms and, since we've been reviewing turntables for nearly 50 years, we can guarantee you'll be getting a certain level of sound quality, build and features. There are some tasty deals currently on our favourite Sony Bluetooth turntable, two superb Pro-Ject audiophile-grade but affordable decks and a premium Technics deck – so you better be quick to buy now before these discounts are gone.
