No problem: There are tons of great record players to choose from, and most of them will easily connect to whatever audio system you already own. Maybe you're just looking for an upgrade. Maybe you're like WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu, who owned a record but no turntable to play it on. Maybe you've always been interested in building a setup for listening to LPs and 45s, but you don't know where to start. It's the physical experience: shiny, delicate records liner notes writ large covers you want to frame and hang on your wall and the way the stylus spins across the jagged surface, reproducing your favorite artists' music as if by magic. Vinyl's biggest selling point isn't the sound.
