JVC L-AX3 Turntable: I received this from my mom who’s had this turntable since the 80s, it still works perfectly. I’ve had to get the needle replaced a couple of times, but I’ve found that my local record stores have always had replacements in stock!

u-turn audio orbit basic turntable: Shameless plug for u-turn because my husband makes the wooden turntable bases for them! They're handmade in MA and we really love ours! They also have colored mdf bases that are a bit cheaper.

AT-LP70X: Right before she was born, my husband insisted that we get a record player. He wanted to ensure she heard every album he loves in its finest form 🥹It’s become the loveliest part of our day- waking up, putting on Ted Lucas or Joan Armatrading or The Cure or Judee Sill or Tracy Chapman and snuggling up in the nook with our girl.

We have what my husband refers to as a “cheap and cheerful” Audio Technica (“it’s better to have things that aren’t too dear” he explains) from Redscroll Records- thanks for the help, Josh!
