While Black Friday may be the best time of the year to upgrade a hi-fi system, it is arguably just as good a time to begin one. If you are beginning to collect vinyl records and are looking to buy a proper music system to play them on that won't cost the earth, may I suggest a simple but entirely satisfying modern set-up that, thanks to the Black Friday hi-fi deals, you can currently save £230 on.
To play records, you need a turntable (of course!), a phono stage, amplification and speakers – and all of those duties can be covered with two modern products that are both highly recommendable five-star performers and together cost £538.
