Crosley Cruiser Antique Grey Vinyl Record Player 

If you consider yourself to be an ‘audio enthusiast’, you’ll be absolutely horrified by this high street hardware. If, however, you want a sub-£100 turntable that comes housed in a faux leather briefcase, you’re in business. With built-in Bluetooth streaming and stereo speakers, it’s the sort of thing you could take to the park with a bottle of gin and some artisanal crisps.  £89 urbanoutfitters.com

Audio-Technica AT-LP3 
The belt-driven AT-LP3 is the perfect step-up from an all-in-one entry-level stylish turntable such as the Crosley ‘briefcase’. The Japanese brand is immensely proud of this sleek white slab because it boasts the kind of performance you’d expect from ritzier, more expensive decks. Not to get too ‘Partridge’, but it was rated 5 Stars by What Hi-Fi magazine and features an aluminium cantilever. No idea what that is, but it sounds awesome.
