The Best Turntables of 2025 (According to the World, Not Us)

Because you don’t need to spend €2,000 to enjoy your records (though if you want to, there are options)

Let’s get this straight from the beginning: we haven’t personally tested all of these turntables. What we did is something not everyone has the time or patience to do — sift through hundreds of reviews, compare specs, see what real users are saying, and draw honest, no-BS conclusions.

Here’s what we found to be the best turntables of 2025 based on all that research. There’s something here for every taste (and every budget).

Top 1: Fluance RT85N


The most balanced of the bunch. Easy to set up, no weird complications, and delivers uncolored sound. What’s in the record is what you hear.

  • Acrylic platter

  • Solid base (the heaviest non-DJ one we found)

  • Great isolation feet

  • And the highlight: Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge included

No built-in phono preamp, but if your amp already has one, you won’t miss it.

Price: reasonable. And in this hobby, that’s already saying something.

 


Runner-Up: Rekkord F300

Great sound, fully automatic, solid materials. But there are a few quirks:

  • The automatic system assumes all 33 rpm records are 12" and all 45s are 7" — which can be an issue with non-standard sizes

  • RCA cables are non-removable (annoying if you want to upgrade)

  • Comes with an AT91 cartridge by default (meh), but you can choose an Ortofon OM 10 at no extra cost — do it, seriously

If you want good sound with automatic features, this one’s worth a look.

Built-in Preamp + Bluetooth: Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT

Not as refined as the two above, but makes up for it in ease of use:

  • Built-in phono preamp

  • Bluetooth output

  • Truly plug & play

Material quality is slightly lower (lighter plinth and platter), but if you want something that works right out of the box, no fuss, this is solid.

AT-VM95 cartridge included. Gets the job done.

Budget-Friendly with a Solid Foundation: U-Turn Orbit Basic

If you’re on a tighter budget and want something decent, this American-made turntable is a great entry point:

  • Good sound, minimal frills

  • Quick setup

  • Highly customizable (color, preamp, cartridge, etc.)

Heads-up: it doesn’t come with a cue lever by default (but you can add one), no auto stop, and no speed selector. If that doesn’t bother you, it’s a gem.


All-in-One: Angels Horn H019

We’re not huge fans of all-in-one systems, but this one’s an exception. If you want something with built-in speakers that sounds halfway decent:

  • Surprisingly clear sound for what it is

  • Wood finish, metal platter, adjustable tonearm

  • Comes with an AT-3600L cartridge

  • Has both Bluetooth and AUX input

Ideal if you want to dip into vinyl without setting up a full system. Not pure hi-fi, but definitely good enough.

So...

Not everyone needs the same thing. Some are chasing the best sound possible. Others just want to plug in and listen without a headache. What matters is that you don’t get swayed by trends, or by what’s most expensive, or what “looks pro.”

Ask yourself:

What do I want to listen to, and how much setup am I willing to do to get there?

Start from there. Choose smart. And if you want more unfiltered takes on cartridges, stands, phono stages and more — you know where to find us.
