But then I remembered the experience that originally awakened my passion for music: listening to a scratchy copy of Led Zeppelin II handed down by an older cousin, played on a Sears Silvertone record player that I had used mostly for records featuring the likes of Batman and the Peter Pan Pop Band & Singers. As a devoted audiophile, I had been as disinterested in cheap record players as a fishing enthusiast would be in an R2-D2 spinning reel.
When a Wirecutter reader recently asked this question, I couldn’t answer. With some models priced below the cost of an audiophile-grade record, the budding vinylphile has to wonder: Do these things sound okay? Or more to the point, do they even work? Vinyl record sales have grown at double-digit annual rates since 2006, and as a result you can find inexpensive record players at music stores, department stores, and even fashion outlets.
