1. A beginner-friendly Audio-Technica Bluetooth turntable featuring fully automatic operation (meaning it'll lift the tonearm and gently lower it onto the record, then lift it back up and shut the turntable off when it's done playing), *plus* the ability to connect to your wireless speakers or phone. So if you're new to the vinyl world, this lil' number has got your music streaming needs covered.
A dual RCA output cable is included with the player.
Promising review: "It’s a solid record player. Sound is great and has solid construction. The best thing though: No problems with Bluetooth! Some cheap Bluetooth devices have major problems with implementation of the technology. Not this bad boy! The transmitter is strong. Well, strong enough — I didn’t do any stress-testing, but it does work from one room to the next. Connectivity never drops out, and it actually stays connected to my speaker even when not in use. No need to struggle with pairing every time you want to listen. Pairing was quick and painless. Works on the first try. Very pleased." —S. Hintz
Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in four colors).

2. Or a splurge-worthy Bluetooth turntable (also from Audio-Technica) that more ~experienced~ vinyl collectors will appreciate for its manual operation, adjustable anti-skate control, and three rpm options that'll have you spinning with excitement to play your favorite records during that upcoming dinner party.
It also comes with a USB cable, detachable RCA output cable, AC adapter, 45 RPM adapter, counterweight, felt mat, and removable hinged dust cover.
Promising review: "This Audio-Technica is outstanding! Easy to set up, easy to connect to Bluetooth speakers, and best of all, no skipping! Great sound, too. I’d previously purchased a House of Marley Bluetooth turntable and there was constant skipping and adjusting — just not worth it. I returned that puppy and got the A-T, well worth it!" —g benton

3. A Sony Bluetooth turntable oozing contemporary style mixed with modern tech, as it's able to connect to your speakers OR headphones. That means you can stream Taylor Swift's Midnights as much as you want without worrying about receiving a noise complaint.
This also comes with a dust cover, adapter for 7" records, aluminum plate, attachment pieces, rubber vinyl platter, and a USB B cable.
Promising review: "My teen daughter has begun to show a deep interest in music and wanted to get started with vinyl. I have a large collection of LPs, which have been well-cared for and only played on high-end equipment. Knowing that she would want to play some of those records, I was looking for a good quality turntable that would perform well and not cause any harm to the vinyl. This Sony fit the bill perfectly for both of our needs. It is a solid piece of hifi-grade equipment, is well-designed with simple and intelligent controls, and it allows for multiple means of playback connectivity. The Bluetooth connected easily to an Amazon Echo Studio speaker, which sounds great, and the Studio then reconnects immediately upon each use without having to re-pair with the turntable. Build quality is nice, it has a good weight, and has a very aesthetically pleasing and understated design. Well worth purchasing." —nycmrx

6. A Bluetooth turntable with bookshelf speakers so you can play ANY song you want, whether it's from your phone or vinyl collection that you're slowly building up. Plus, its high-quality Audio-Technica cartridge and needle will ensure the sound quality is top notch.
The turntable also comes with a USB cable for PC linking.
Promising review: "I was honestly surprised by the quality of this record player set. I was expecting something cheap that would probably damage my records, but this was exactly what I wanted. I'm not an audiophile; I'm more of a casual music nerd who loves vinyl. I wanted something that was a clear step up from the cheap players you can get at retail stores. The Audio-Technica needle sounds fantastic, and this whole set plugged right into and plays well with my dad's old tube receiver. It looks beautiful and sounds great. Very satisfied." —Notations MailOrder

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! It has multiple options for music listening all in one place. So far, I have used Bluetooth and listened to the radio!

I definitely recommend this for your room or living room." —Bri

9. A retro-inspired Bluetooth turntable that's anything *but* dated since it's not only a record player, but also an FM/AM radio, CD player, MP3 player, alarm clock, and timer, with audio recording capabilities to boot. I mean, what can't this do??

This comes equipped with phono and line outputs that can play vinyl with or without a phono equalizer.
Promising review: "I love this turntable. It looks so nice and elegant — plus, it has several options older turntables don't have. It sounds great and looks good with the rest of my stereo. Very easy to operate, and has anti-skating and balance adjustments for the arm. I am very pleased with this turntable." —rushnjoe
