The Audio-Technica AT-LP60BT-USB turntable on a coffee table.

Like a lot of vinyl collectors, I've spent a marriage-threatening amount of time and money obsessing over my records. But joining the Digital Trends AV team a couple of years ago really blew the lid off one of my other obsessions -- turntables. And just like when I began reviewing them, you have to start somewhere when deciding on what entry-level turntable is going to get you started on your vinyl adventure.

I get asked about this a lot, and it just so happens that there's a pretty good Black Friday deal on one of the best entry-level turntables you can buy -- the Audio-Technica AT-LP60BT-USB, which is going for $199, a decent $80 off its regular price of $279.

Originally priced at $179, the DeWalt 20V Max cordless drill kit is down to just $99 from Amazon, for $80 in savings for Black Friday.
