The Prime Day turntable deals have arrived! Technically this event is called Amazon Big Deal Days, or 'Prime Day 2' (the first Prime Day took place back in July), but regardless, this is a two-day online shopping extravaganza where prices will be slashed on loads of music-related products at Amazon and beyond. In the many years we've been covering Prime Day, that usually means a plethora of discounted turntables, too. This year is no exception.
Our deals experts have already spied a couple of hot turntable offers that are too good to miss – if you're reading this Stateside, there's $72 off the excellent Sony PS-LX310BT, down from $249.99 to $178. If you're in the UK, that same deck has a hearty 21% discount, which brings the price down to just £189.99. It's a fantastic Bluetooth-enabled record player and it sits right at the top of our best budget turntables buyer's guide.
But that's not all. So far we've uncovered great offers on decks from Audio-Technica, Sony and Crosley and will continue to add more to this page as we spot them.
Can't see what you're looking for here? Don't forget that this year's Black Friday record player deals are just around the corner too.

Prime Day FAQ
When is Prime Day 2024?
So, for clarification, this October event is actually called Big Deal Days, but most people refer to it as Prime Day, or Prime Day 2. It's the second major event of 2024 for Amazon, which will then be followed up in November with the Black Friday sales.
Find out more at Amazon's Big Deal Days homepage.
You will often see Prime Day deals hanging around for a few days after the event has ended, so don't fret if you miss out during Prime Day itself as you may still have an opportunity to save.
Do I need a Prime subscription?
If you want to take advantage of the best Prime Day turntable deals on Amazon, then yes you will need to get yourself an Amazon Prime account.
You could always sign up for a free trial for the event, take advantage of all the Prime Day perks and then cancel before you have to start paying the full subscription amount.
You can currently sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-day free trial, after which you'll be charged $14.99/£8.99 per month for the service.
There’s also Prime Annual for $139/£95 and a cut-price student plan.
What turntable brands will be on sale on Prime Day?
Based on previous experience, the turntable discounts to look out for this year are likely to be on gear from big names such as Sony, ProJect, Rega, Lenco, Audio Technica and House of Marley
If you're looking for a budget deck that performs well, specific models we'd encourage you to scout include the awesome Rega Planar 1, Sony PS-HX500 and the Audio-Technica AT-LP3 (all reviewed at the links).
If you have a little more in the budget , you'll be winning if you can find a good deal on the Technics SL-1500C, Pro-Ject T1 or Clearaudio Concept.
Whatever you're looking for, we'll be sharing all the best offers on this page, not only over the two days themselves, but in the lead up to the main event throughout July.
Will there only be Prime Day deals on Amazon?
So, technically yes. Prime Day is purely an Amazon invention, however over the years we've seen increasing competition from non-Amazon retailers - like Target and Best Buy in US, and John Lewis in the UK - who see the buzz around Prime Day as an opportunity to slash prices on their sites too.
So actually, Amazon has done us all a favour and the price wars heat up across the board during the 48-hours of Prime Day. So, in a nutshell, it pays to shop around as you won't always find the biggest Prime Day bargains at Amazon.
Why you can trust us
The Louder team have been covering Amazon Prime Day for many years now and are also heavily involved in bringing you all the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargains around November, alongside other major sales events, too.
We're all music fans and we also review a load of tech and have dozens of buyer's guides across the Louder site covering music hardware and more
We'll always give you the pros and cons on items and we take things such as how easy it is to use, how it performs and if it represents good value for money into consideration when casting our eye over products.
If a product is aimed at musicians, we'll test it on stage or in the studio, while gear like turntables, headphones and speakers are put under the microscope in our homes to help give you an insight into how the product works in the real world – not in a soundproof booth.
All our reviews will always feature a couple of alternative options to give you as much choice as possible when it comes to choosing something that's going to be right for you.
