Turntables, also known as record players or phonographs, typically require a few components to play recorded music through a pair of speakers. The most essential parts include a turntable, a stylus, a cartridge, a platter, and a tonearm. The stylus, or needle, reads the vinyl record’s grooves, while the cartridge converts these mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. The platter is the rotating surface where the vinyl record is placed, and the tonearm connects the cartridge to the rest of the turntable, positioning the stylus over the record.

However, the turntable alone cannot produce sound at a audible level without further equipment. The produced electrical signal needs to be amplified and converted back into sound waves. This is where an amplifier and a pair of speakers come into play. The amplifier increases the electrical signal’s power,
