27 New Turntables and CD Players To Upgrade Your Hi-Fi System in 2025

The Musical Fidelity M6xTT is an audiophile-grade turntable that’s essentially a smaller, lighter and more affordable version of the $10,000 M8xTT, which the British hi-fi maker released in 2022. The M6xTT has the same standout transparent design — featuring a dual-layer acrylic plinth that gives the illusion the platter is floating midair — and a redesigned 9-inch tonearm (which is the same as the M8xTT’s tonearm, but an inch shorter). It’s handmade in Europe and isn’t yet available in the US at the time of writing.

Kickback — a NY-based tech company known for its affordable audio products with early 2000s flair — has released an entry-level turntable that looks a real statement piece. Its transparent plexiglass and aluminum design stays true to the company’s ethos, but it also promises to be a pretty versatile turntable. It has a switchable built-in phono-preamp, allowing you to hook it up directly to a power speaker system or integrate it into a larger hi-fi system. It also supports Bluetooth, so you can stream vinyl directly to a Bluetooth speaker.

The Victrola Automatic is an affordable, fully automatic turntable with a switchable phono preamp and built-in Bluetooth. Most interestingly, it has a unique repeat function that keeps the record playing on a loop so the music doesn’t stop.
