Alongside images showcasing the most popular vintage and collectible turntables among today's growing ranks of enthusiasts, knowledgeable longtime stereo and music journalist Ken Micallef walks you through the history of turntables and vinyl records, as well as notable manufacturers and models, explanations of how turntables work together with amplifiers and speakers, advice for collecting both hi-fi gear and vinyl records, and more.

The book includes insights into many aspects of the growing vinyl hobby, including:

  • History and Technology - Beginning with the Victrola and continuing through today's precision turntables, Micallef highlights key points in the evolution of the turntable, its basic workings, and proper setup and maintenance.
  • Historic Brands and Models - From classic makes like Dual, Thorens, Linn, and Technics to modern favorites from names like U-Turn, Pro-Ject, and Rega, the book features an array of storied manufacturers and models past and present, including details of their origins and features, and addresses the eternal vintage vs. modern debate.
  • Collecting Vinyl - When it comes to collecting records themselves, there is plenty to take into consideration, and Micallef brings his hard-earned knowledge to bear on everything from the most collectible albums to understanding grading systems and pressings, and caring for and enjoying your growing collection.
