Record players with CD player

Turntables with a CD player are a practical solution for homes where vinyl and an older CD collection are played without putting together several separate components. When choosing, check mainly whether the model has built-in speakers, an output for an external audio system, a headphone output or Bluetooth for convenient playback. These devices make sense in a living room, study or holiday home where simple operation and saving space matter. If you want a separate player for a hi-fi setup, also see CD players.

What to focus on when choosing

• For vinyl, compare playback speeds, cartridge type and the option to connect external speakers.
• For the CD mechanism, clear controls, a remote control and support for common formats are useful depending on the specific model.
• If the player is meant as a gift or as a centre for easy listening, turntable sets can also be practical.
