So if you want a step up in performance, we're only too happy to recommend the Rega Planar 3 with the factory-fitted Elys 2 cartridge you see here (although you can, of course, purchase the Planar 3 sans cartridge). No turntable has dominated its category like the Planar 3, taking on all-comers since its launch in the 1970s. Pro-Ject isn't short of rivals at this price, but this is a superb sounding deck that is our new 2022 Award-winner and now the best value option at this price point. Stereo imaging and a spacious soundstage proves admirable and we are impressed with the sonic authority on offer. It produces a stable and controlled sound too, one that retains its composure even when the music becomes dense and demanding. Its presentation is a little on the lean side, but the upside of such a balance is agility.
It sounds incredibly precise, crisp and taut. This Debut Pro turntable is terrific at digging deep into the production and revealing layers of instrumental textures that most at this level ignore. Pro-Ject’s engineers have carefully developed almost every aspect of the design, from the new carbon fibre and aluminium tonearm to the dedicated Pick It Pro cartridge. It's a classy-looking deck and easy to set up. Pro-Ject's latest Debut Pro model celebrates the company's 30th anniversary and is the most ambitious and sophisticated Debut model yet. So you can be sure you're getting a genuine, expert recommendation. Our experienced What Hi-Fi? review team has comprehensively tested all of these record players in our dedicated test rooms, comparing each record player to its closest rivals in price and type in a controlled environment. In case there is no cartridge as standard, it could be worth visiting our list of the best cartridges you can buy for some inspiration. You might need to balance the tonearm and set the tracking weight, but follow the supplied instructions in the box and you'll be fine. Most of the decks here are pretty much plug-and-play, and come with the tonearm and cartridge attached. Our selection features budget turntables alongside high-end decks, wireless Bluetooth turntables for streaming vinyl to headphones, turntables with phono stages built in, and even USB turntables to help you digitise your vinyl collection. We've rounded up the best record players from our recent product reviews, across all budgets.
