No, a standard turntable cannot play all records. There are different sizes and speed of records which require different kind of turntables. The most common sizes are 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch records. The speed of a record is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) and the most common speeds are 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. A typical turntable may be able to play 12-inch records at 33 1/3 and 45 RPM but would not be able to play 78 RPM records. To play all records, you would need a turntable capable of handling all sizes and speed, often called a ” universal turntable”.
