Welcome to day two of What Hi-Fi‘s Vinyl Week 2024, where we will be giving you in-depth advice on what to look for before buying your new record player, delve into the vinyl-making process, and we even have an exclusive review of a fully automatic turntable from a new brand.
With Record Store Day approaching this weekend, we’ve got plenty of goodies in store for you as we celebrate all things vinyl all week.
Our seasoned editorial team will be opining on record playing trends, taking a look back to the first vinyl records they bought and the very first 1976 issue of What Hi-Fi?, and musing about the younger generation’s fascination with vinyl. Along the way, you’ll also learn exactly how a turntable makes a sound from a record, what to look for when buying second-hand vinyl, and top tips on how to safely store your beloved records.
We will also be updating all our expert advice and how-to guides so you’ll be in good hands when setting up a turntable perfectly and get it sounding its best, and we run down our favourite and most iconic record players we’ve come across in our publication’s 48-year history. It’s a packed week, so don’t miss out!
