These Prime Day record player deals are an absolute steal – but they won’t stick around for long

Amazon’s clunkily-named Prime Big Deal Days event has entered its second day, but if you’re a music fan it’s unlikely you’re getting particularly jazzed about discounted air fryers or video doorbells. For us, the standouts for 2023 are these hefty discounts on record players. If you're in the market for your first deck or an upgrade on your current system, there are options to suit all budgets, whether you want a top flight unit like the mighty Technics SL-100C - currently £235 off at Amazon UK - or the ever-popular Audio-Technica LP60XBT Bluetooth turntable, which is $80 cheaper at Amazon US right now. There’s also options from Sony, Denon, House Of Marley and Ion.

This does beg the question whether these Prime Day discounts will eclipse this year’s Black Friday record player deals? Time will tell, but from our experience covering these events, we can confidently tell you we’ve not seen discounts like this on genuinely decent decks in a very long time. These current deals are certainly far better than anything we spotted on the main Prime Day event back in July, so could well be the best offers we'll see all year.

Many of the deals we’ve selected are on products we’ve previously reviewed. We’ve included links to our reviews below so you can take a closer look at what we think of the product. 

The sale ends at 11.59 tonight, which means there’s less than 24 hours to take advantage.
