What is a "record player"?
A record player is a device used to play vinyl records. It consists of a spinning turntable, a needle, also called a stylus, and an arm that holds the needle over the record's grooves. As the record spins, the needle moves along the grooves, picking up vibrations that are converted into sound, which is then amplified through speakers. Record players are commonly used to listen to music in vinyl format and are appreciated for their vintage appeal and sound quality.
