Entry-level to audiophile, portable to serious — the right record player for your setup. Turntables at Wax Trax.
The records are only half the equation — what you play them on matters just as much. We stock turntables across the whole range: dependable entry-level decks for the new collector, serious audiophile tables for the obsessed, and portable players for the casual spinner. Picking the right one comes down to your budget, your space, and how deep you're planning to go — and unlike a faceless online retailer, we'll actually talk it through with you. Get the platform right and every record sounds better.
Turntables and record players for every level — entry-level decks, audiophile and component tables, and portable players, from trusted brands. New, with setup guidance available. Whether it's a first turntable or a serious upgrade, we'll help you match the deck to your records, your room, and your budget. Ask us; that's what we're here for.
What's a good first turntable?
A dependable entry-level belt-drive deck with a decent cartridge — enough to do your records justice without overspending. Skip the cheapest all-in-one suitcase players; they can wear records over time. We're happy to point you to solid starters.
Do cheap turntables damage records?
The very cheapest all-in-one players, with heavy tonearms and poor tracking, can cause wear over time. A proper entry-level deck protects your records and sounds far better — worth the modest step up.
Can you help me pick one?
Absolutely — that's the advantage of buying from an actual record store. Tell us your budget, your space, and your goals, and we'll match you to the right deck.
