Be quick though, as the Cyber Monday sales will be coming to an end soon.

If there’s one thing that’s going to make your – or someone else’s – Christmas, it’s being able to listen to some great music on vinyl. And now there’s a chance to buy something really good to play that vinyl on, at a price that won’t break the bank.

The Audio-Technica LP5X is a cracking bit of kit that packs in all the qualities that have made the Japanese firm one of the world’s leading audio manufacturers. Built from robust aluminium, this fully manual, direct drive turntable boasts a number of features designed to improve your record-playing experience, including a J-shaped tonearm that’s been engineered to minimise tracking errors, a switchable MM/MC phono/line preamp, and a heavy rubber damping mat for improved low-frequency reproduction.

With a choice of three speeds, you can play LPs, singles, and even your grandparents’ old 78s if you really want to. And there’s even a USB socket for connecting the turntable to a computer and converting your vinyl music to MP3 files – a great option if you want to hear your music on the go.
