Turntables
Turntables are still the reference point for DJ performance, offering a level of control and connection that controllers and software can’t fully replace. Built for accuracy, durability, and hands-on mixing, modern DJ turntables continue to play a central role in clubs, studios, and battle setups worldwide.
This category features direct-drive and belt-drive turntables from established brands including Technics, Pioneer DJ, Reloop, Audio-Technica, Numark, Stanton, and Denon DJ. From industry standards like the Technics SL-1200 series to newer high-torque and DVS-ready designs, these decks are built for real-world DJ use.
Whether you’re playing vinyl, running timecode, or building a hybrid setup, today’s turntables remain a practical, reliable choice for DJs who value feel, precision, and long-term relevance.

KICKSTARTER: Not a DJ turntable but still cool — Wheel by Miniot
Turntables come in all shapes and sizes. But Wheel by Miniot is so minimal that it strips playing records back to little more than the record itself.
REVIEW: MK Stands Turntable Isolator Over Feet
Turntable feedback is a nightmare. But MK Stands comes to the rescue with its rubber Technics over feet. We turned up the bass and killed the feedback.
NAMM 2017: New Stanton ST.150 M2 and STR8.150 M2 turntables

Why you’re probably going to buy the £1300 Technics SL-1200GR
The Technics SL-1200GR has been announced, and at £1300 is about as affordable as it will get. I can hear credit cards hitting screens already.
