Every price below is read live from our product data, so what you see is what you pay at checkout. We ship from Hong Kong to Singapore, the UK and Australia.
1. What a turntable actually needs
| Component | What it does | Do you need it? |
|---|---|---|
| Turntable | Spins the record at 33⅓ or 45 rpm and converts grooves to a signal | Yes |
| Phono stage (preamp) | Boosts the tiny cartridge signal and applies RIAA equalisation | Only if your amp or speakers lack a PHONO input |
| Amplifier | Powers passive speakers | Only with passive speakers |
| Speakers or headphones | Makes sound | Yes |
| Cleaning kit | Removes dust; dust causes pops and wear | Yes |
| Stylus gauge / spare stylus | Stylus wears out after 500–1,000 hours | Eventually |
The most common mistake: buying a turntable with only a PHONO output and plugging it into a line-level aux input. The result is very quiet, thin sound — not a faulty unit.

3. Built-in phono or not — check before you buy
| Your setup | You need |
|---|---|
| Turntable with built-in phono stage + powered speakers | Nothing else |
| Turntable with built-in phono stage + amp with PHONO input | Turn the turntable phono OFF to avoid double amplification |
| Turntable without phono stage + amp with PHONO input | Nothing else |
| Turntable without phono stage + amp with only AUX | A separate phono stage |
If a listing does not state whether a phono stage is built in, treat it as not built in and ask before ordering.
4. Budget tiers
| Tier | What you get | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Manual or semi-auto, built-in phono, basic cartridge | First turntable, casual listening |
| Mid | Better tonearm, adjustable counterweight, upgradeable cartridge | Regular listening, small collection |
| Upper | Direct drive or heavy platter, damped plinth, quality cartridge | Large collection, long sessions |
5. Shipping, warranty and voltage
| Item | Singapore | United Kingdom | Australia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery time | 5–9 working days | 6–10 working days | 7–12 working days |
| Mains voltage | 230V / 50Hz | 230V / 50Hz | 230V / 50Hz |
| Plug type | Type G | Type G | Type I |
| Warranty | Return to Hong Kong; buyer pays return freight | Same | Same |
All three markets use 230V, so no voltage converter is needed — only a plug adapter if the unit ships with a UK plug. Warranty claims are handled by returning the unit to Hong Kong; round-trip freight typically costs HK$150–350 and takes 2–4 weeks.
6. Common questions
Do I need a preamp?
Only if neither your turntable nor your amplifier has a PHONO stage. Check both ends.
Will my records be damaged?
Not by a correctly set-up turntable. A worn stylus or wrong tracking force will cause wear over many plays.
Can I use Bluetooth speakers?
Yes, if the turntable has Bluetooth output. Otherwise add a Bluetooth transmitter.
Is direct drive better?
It starts faster and holds speed better for DJ use. Belt drive isolates motor vibration better for listening.
Do I need a cleaning machine?
Not at first. A carbon brush and cleaning fluid handle most dust.
