Yes, there is a difference between a turntable and a record player. A turntable is a separate piece of equipment that only has the ability to spin a vinyl record. It does not come with built-in speakers or an amplifier. A record player, on the other hand, is an all-in-one unit that consists of a turntable, amplifier, and speakers. It can play vinyl records without requiring additional components. The confusion arises because some people use the term “record player” to refer to a turntable, but technically, a record player is a turntable with additional components while a turntable is just the record-spinning part of a record player.
