What to look for in a Christmas gift for a vinyl lover
Know their setup. Serious collectors may already own a hi-fi turntable, so accessories can be a safer bet than a new player.
Think about beginners. A simple all-in-one record player with speakers is an easy way to start a collection.
Keep records clean. Dust causes crackles and wear, so cleaning kits and brushes are always useful.
Protect the collection. Good inner sleeves stop scuffs and static, especially for older records with paper sleeves.
Store records upright. LPs should be stored vertically rather than stacked flat, which can cause warping.
Avoid heat. Keep records away from radiators and sunny windows.
Check sizes. Most storage and sleeves are made for 12 inch LPs, so check if they collect 7 inch singles too.
Add a record. A new album by a favourite artist is always welcome, but check they do not already own it.
Support local. Independent record shops are great places for gift vouchers and recommendations.
Think about display. Many collectors like to show off favourite album covers on a wall or shelf.
Handle with care. Hold records by the edges and label to keep fingerprints off the grooves.
Think about the stylus. Needles wear over time, so a replacement stylus is a thoughtful extra for a regular listener.
Consider the room. A record player works best on a sturdy, level surface away from speakers that might cause vibration.
Add a personal touch. A record from the year they were born makes a fun surprise.
Bundle a set. The cleaning kit, the inner sleeves and the storage case together came to £50.89 at the prices checked.
