When looking for a vinyl record player, there are a few things to consider:

-Turntable speed: A turntable with multiple speed options will allow you to play all types of records, including 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM.

-Type of turntable: There are two main types of turntables: belt-drive and direct-drive. A belt-drive turntable uses a belt to connect the motor to the platter, which helps to reduce vibrations and noise. A direct-drive turntable directly connects the motor to the platter, which can result in more accurate speed control but can also introduce more noise and vibrations.

-Cartridge and stylus: The cartridge is the part of the turntable that holds the stylus (also known as the needle), which makes contact with the record. There are a variety of cartridges and styli available, and the choice will depend on your budget and the type of music you will be listening to.

-Phono Preamp: Most of the turntables do not have inbuilt phono preamp which is necessary to boost the phono signal to a line level. So it's important to check for that.

-Build Quality: A well-built turntable can last for decades, so look for a turntable with a sturdy construction and high-quality materials.

-Additional Features: Many turntables come with built-in speakers, USB connectivity, and other features. If you're looking for a more versatile turntable, look for one that includes these features.

-Brand: Some of the well known brands for turntable are Technics, Audio-Technica, Rega, Pro-ject, U-Turn Audio.

-Price: There's a wide range of turntable prices and the quality of the turntables vary accordingly, so be prepared to spend more for a high-quality turntable.

Ultimately, the best turntable for you will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and the type of music you plan to listen to.
