You’d think that given the vast data capacity of modern music players, turntables and record players would quickly become phased out. But they have actually become increasingly popular for home audio in recent years. Perhaps there’s something about the crisp, retro sound of a diamond needle on a record or maybe the thrill of finding that same vinyl at the flea market that you and your granddad used to jam to. Whichever reason it is, vinyl is here to stay and if you’re a fan then your collection deserves a good turntable from brands like Audio Technica, Sony, Lenco, and Clearaudio which you can find with an eBay search. \u003C/p>\n
