Turntables at Noel Leeming
Vinyl has a sound that digital formats simply don't replicate — a warmth, depth, and presence that draws you into a recording rather than just playing it back. Modern turntables make it easier than ever to build or revive a record collection, combining classic analogue playback with contemporary features like Bluetooth connectivity and fully automatic operation. Brands like Sony, Audio-Technica, JBL, and Philips each bring something distinct to the format: Sony's PS-LX range prioritises plug-and-play simplicity, Audio-Technica leans into belt-drive precision, and the JBL Spinner pairs iconic design with wireless streaming capability.
Choosing the Right Turntable for Your Setup
The key decision comes down to how you want to listen. A Bluetooth-enabled turntable connects directly to wireless speakers or headphones, eliminating the need for a separate amplifier and making setup straightforward. A manual or automatic belt-drive model suits listeners who want more control over the playback process and a traditional hi-fi chain. Built-in speakers, as found on the Philips Stevie, suit smaller spaces or entry-level setups where simplicity matters more than audiophile performance. Whichever direction you go, a turntable brings a tactile, intentional quality to listening that streaming alone can't offer.

A turntable performs best as part of a broader audio setup. Pairing yours with a stereo system unlocks richer amplification and a fuller soundstage, while the wider home audio range covers everything from speakers to receivers. For personal listening while your records play, wireless headphones pair naturally with Bluetooth-enabled turntable models, and portable speakers give you a flexible amplification option that moves around the home with ease.
