GPO Bermuda Retro Record Player with Removable Legs, Bluetooth Turntable with Built-in Speaker, MP3, USB, Vinyl Player Compatible with External Speakers, Blue

Product Information

Originally known as a gramophone or vinyl player, this device lets you play music by spinning a record on its turntable. A record player houses the necessary components like speakers and an amplifier to play music by itself. This makes it a great option for those that want a simple music player that requires very little set-up. A treat to look at and play, this Pro-Ject turntable is an upgraded version of the company’s award-winning Debut model and is well worth the extra cash. This one comes with height-adjustable metal feet, a heavier steel platter and best of all, a new electronic speed control to swap between 33 and 45rpm records at the touch of a button. There’s also a 78rpm belt included in the box if you fancy digging out your grandparents’ old records.

A belt drive features a platter that sits on a bearing and is pulled by a belt to spin your record. A direct drive also features a platter, but this is directly connected to the motor via a spindle in the middle of the plate.On the design front, this is essentially a ‘suitcase’ record player and has a carry handle for east of movement as well as removable legs, giving you the option of freestanding audio or using the record player on a sideboard, cabinet or even someone’s floor. If you’re nervous about damaging your vinyl, look for an automatic turntable to operate with the touch of a button rather than manually lifting and lowering the tone arm.

Belt drive tends to be more popular for those listening to their songs at home, whereas direct drive is more likely to be used by DJs spinning records for others.Designed to look like a fun, retro suitcase, this turntable doesn’t just look the part for travel enthusiasts – it’s also lightweight and extremely portable. Operating the turntable is simple: no external speakers are needed (though you could connect to them if you wanted to), and it is belt-driven, which gives the turntable its steady sound. The no-frills quality of this model is helpful if you are only just getting into vinyl, or if you want to take your collection on the go (it even comes with a handle!) The best vintage record players provide the type of sound quality you’re looking for and come loaded with modern amenities that do much more than just spin your favorite vinyl. Other great features of the Britannia include, DAB radio, FM radio, Bluetooth receiving for smart phone music streaming.

Does the vintage turntable you’re interested in have to be connected to an outlet or is there a battery powered option? Some models come with both options. The ability to run off battery power definitely increases portability. That’s because you need something to take those small vibrations and amplify the sound, so that it is loud enough for the speakers. As you may have guessed, the something that does this is called an amplifier, or amp. The best equipment is definitely waiting for you and all you need to do is to browse our massive list of record players & turntables.
