Looking to get something to play my old vinyl on from up the loft.
Any recommendations, please?
Have seen quite a few, but the outputs seems just to be a couple of watts, so the sound quality isn't going to be that great. I'm not a hi-fi bod, so not looking for an expensive high end bit of kit, just something that will sound passable, and more than 2 watts output.
Seen some that you can hook up to external speakers, but that sounds messy - something fairly portable that you can just plug in and play in the lounge / kitchen etc
Suppose CD facility would be useful, but not essential
Thanx

I'm no techie, but I think a portable record player is defeating the object a bit.
If I was to jump on the back of this vinyl resurgence I'd get a good quality turntable, connect it to a good amp and good speakers to make the best of the supposed sound quality of vinyl. Not very portable, but it's not meant to be.
Can't you record vinyl onto CDs somehow anyway? Or is it the novelty of 'putting a record on' that you're after?

Whats your budget?
You need a turntable with a built in 'preamp', something like this:

Then a pair of active speakers. This means you don't need an amplifier.
Speakers start around £100-£150, but for that you can use them to listen to anything else - Ipod, phone etc.... also some come with Bluetooth.

Turntable with built in speakers is pointless in my eyes
