One of the perks of having your own space is having the ability to set up your entertainment. Now, you can finally indulge and give your vinyl records some love. If you’ve had your parents’ and grandparents’ old records and have been waiting for the opportunity to scratch those records, here’s your chance. These modern record players are some of the best turntable sets to have in your home if you love music.

Vinyl records can hold a lot of sentimental value to them. This is especially true if they were passed down to you or you’ve collected them over the years from various places. Whether they’ve been in your family for years or you’ve obtained them while traveling the world, nothing beats hearing a record needle hit the vinyl for the first time.

Modern Record Players and Turntables for Millennials

What makes for a good turntable at home? First, you want to determine what size records you already have. If you’ve been collecting records recently, you most likely have 33s, which are the modern standard for vinyl records. If you have much older and original records, chances are you have a mix of 45s and 78s. You will need to look for record players that play at all three speeds to hear your records. Although modern record players tend to play 33s by default, there are quite a few turntables that have the option to play all three speeds.

Modern turntables are mostly Bluetooth-compatible, too. So even if you don’t have the ideal record collection at the moment, you can still stream your favorite music on the turntable. You can even hookup separate speakers to them to get the authentic sound system feel that Millennials love so much.

Check out these must-have modern turntables and record players that combine retro, analog design with present-day technology.
