What's the best beginner turntable that won't damage records?
Reviewer consensus
The most-recommended entry points across the reviewers we read are the fully automatic Audio-Technica AT-LP60X (and its Bluetooth sibling) and the Sony PS-LX3BT, all of which use proper magnetic cartridges and tracking that reviewers say play records safely. For step-up sound, the Pro-Ject Debut line and the AT-LP120XUSB are common upgrades.
