Turntable

Hello it's John from Peter Tyson here, you'll usually find me on our YouTube channel. This week, I’ve been chatting to our hi-fi experts here at Peter Tyson to find the most underrated brands, here are 5 names that kept popping up...

In today’s world of endless music access, one big question remains: does all that convenience come at the cost of sound quality?

Whether you're new to hi-fi or already deep in the hobby, you've probably wondered which format really delivers the best sound...

The resurgence of vinyl collecting has resulted in many music lovers rushing to pick up a new turntable so they can listen to their favourite tracks in their purest form. However, finding the right turntable can suddenly feel overwhelming with so many options available.

At Peter Tyson, we believe finding a new turntable should cause excitement, not worry.

Since their hey day in the 60s and 70s the turntable has gone through several design iterations from ingenious designs that informed the modern record player of today, to the ‘out there’ creations that belong in art galleries.

For over 15 years, vinyl record sales have been rising, proving that turntables aren’t just a trend—they’re a beloved way to experience music. There’s something special about dropping the needle, hearing the warm analogue sound, and connecting with your favourite artists in a way that digital streaming can’t match.

So, you've just bought a shiny new turntable, but you're unsure where to start. Or maybe you want to make sure it's sounding as good as it should. Setting up a turntable correctly can make a huge difference in audio quality...

A turntable is the sum of many individual parts, each with a specific job, working in harmony. Here we focus on phono cartridges: the front line and point of contact with your vinyl record, responsible for extracting the music that sits inside its grooves.

For true music lovers, there’s nothing quite like the warmth of vinyl combined with the clarity of a premium hi-fi setup. For Technics and hi-fi fans alike, we've got two incredible new releases fresh in at Peter Tyson.

The biggest day in the vinyl lover’s calendar is back!

This year marks the event’s 18th anniversary - meaning it’s finally old enough to raise a glass to its incredible success.

For nearly 50 years at Peter Tyson we’ve helped match music fans to their perfect home listening gear. We’ve sold thousands of record players to customers, both in their initial heyday in the 60s and 70s and as they’ve surged back into popularity in the last decade.
