Before you decide

What do I actually get for my money?The deck and its two speakers. Nothing else to buy.

This is the model for somebody who owns nothing to play a record through. In the box:

The turntable, on a walnut-finish plinth with a full-size hinged dust cover
Two matching stereo speakers
A UK power adaptor and the speaker leads
Printed instructions

Nothing else to buy and nothing else to work out. Plug it in, lift the lid, put a record on.

The maker rates the speakers at 0.6 watts a side. That is honest background listening in a bedroom, a study or a kitchen rather than a room-filling system. The RCA output on the back is the way out of that when you want more.

Will this damage my records?The maker says moving magnet in one place and ruby in another. Unresolved.

The maker's product name says MM, meaning moving magnet. Their specification table says the stylus is ruby. Those two do not normally go together, and the difference is the single number that decides how fast your records wear.

Moving magnet is the good news: around 1.5 to 2.5 grams of tracking force, a diamond stylus, and a stylus you can replace. Ruby or sapphire is what you normally find on a ceramic cartridge, which presses around 5 to 7 grams and wears a record noticeably faster.

One of those two statements is wrong. We have asked which, and we are not printing moving magnet on this page as though it were settled. It is exactly the claim a shop would be most tempted to exaggerate.

Every play wears a record a little, whatever you play it on. This paragraph gets replaced with the real number the day the maker answers.

Will it work with what I already own?RCA output, 3.5 mm headphones, aux in and Bluetooth.

This deck carries more sockets than anything else at its price in our range:

An RCA output, so it feeds an amplifier, a soundbar with a line input, or powered speakers such as Edifier, KRK or Q Acoustics
A 3.5 mm headphone socket for late listening
An aux input, to play a phone through the speakers by cable
Bluetooth

So it works on its own out of the box, and it still connects to a proper system the day you own one. That combination is the reason to choose it over the cheaper model.

The maker has not stated whether the RCA output is line level or phono level, which decides whether some amplifiers need a separate phono stage. We have asked. Tell us what you own and we will tell you before you order.

What if it is a gift, or I change my mind?

Both are covered by the same thing: 30 days to send it back for any reason. You do not need to explain yourself, but do contact us first so we can send you the return address.

Buying for someone else? Two things are worth knowing before you order, and neither of them is about the turntable:

Whether they have anything to play it through. A deck with no speakers, given to somebody with no amplifier, makes no sound on the day. If you are not sure, choose one with its speakers in the box.
Whether they already own records. If they have inherited a collection, the cartridge line above is the part that matters to them.

Every turntable also carries a two-year warranty covering parts and labour.

Tell us what they already own and we will tell you which one to get. If the answer is that they do not need anything from us, we will say that too.

The Ryyvo S20 record player and its two speakers just unpacked on a walnut sideboard, the open Ryyvo carton beside it

Its own speakers, in the box0.6 W a side, stereo
This is the model for somebody who owns nothing to play a record through. The two cabinets are in the box and there is nothing else to buy. One and a fifth watts in total is honest background listening in a bedroom, a study or a kitchen — it is not a room-filling system, and the RCA output on the back is the way out of that when you want more.
The tonearm and cartridgeThe maker contradicts itself here
A straight arm with a detachable headshell. The maker's product name says MM, meaning moving magnet; their specification table says the stylus is ruby, which is what you normally find on a ceramic cartridge. Those two do not go together, and the difference decides how fast your records wear. We have asked which it is and will not print the flattering one until it is in writing.
The controls, on the plinthPower, volume, source
On the top of the plinth rather than hidden round the back, which matters more than it sounds when the deck lives on a shelf at chest height.
The platterWith a fitted mat
A mat between the record and the platter is what stops the disc picking up the noise of the motor underneath it. It is fitted here rather than sold separately.
A full-size hinged dust coverCovers the whole plinth
Full size and hinged, so it stays with the deck instead of ending up behind a sofa. Dust in a groove is played back as noise.
The plinthMDF with a printed walnut finish
The maker lists MDF, PVC and leather in one field and PU resin in another. Read together that means an MDF cabinet with a printed PVC walnut finish, and synthetic rather than leather. We would rather say that than let the word leather sit on the page.

Specifications, exactly as the maker states them

A turntable on a walnut-finish wooden plinth with a full-size hinged acrylic dust cover, supplied with its own pair of matching stereo speakers. It is the model in this range for somebody who owns nothing to play a record through: the speakers are in the box, and there is an RCA output on the back for the day you want something better.

It is made in Guangdong, China, by GOKA, on a private mould. We have not renamed the internals and we have not invented the numbers. Where the manufacturer has not stated something — or where the manufacturer contradicts itself — it is written plainly further down this page rather than smoothed over.

The manufacturer contradicts itself about the cartridge, and it is the most important thing on this page

The product name says MM — moving magnet. The specification table says the stylus is ruby. Those two statements do not normally go together, and the difference is the single number that decides how fast your records wear.

A moving magnet cartridge is the good news. It usually tracks somewhere around 1.5 to 2.5 grams, it carries a diamond stylus, and the stylus is replaceable. A ruby or sapphire stylus is what you normally find on a ceramic cartridge, which tracks far heavier — in the region of 5 to 7 grams — and wears a record noticeably faster.

One of those two statements is wrong. We have asked which, and until we have the answer in writing we are not going to print “moving magnet” on this page as though it were settled, because it is exactly the claim a shop would be most tempted to exaggerate. When the manufacturer answers, this paragraph gets replaced with the number.

What 0.6 watts per channel actually sounds like

One and a fifth watts in total, across two speakers. That is honest background listening in a bedroom, a study or a kitchen — a record playing while you do something else. It is not a hi-fi, it will not fill a living room, and anybody telling you otherwise about a figure like this has not read it.

What matters is that it works out of the box with nothing else bought, and that the RCA output is there when that stops being enough. Plug the output into powered speakers or an amplifier and the deck stops being the limit.

About the materials

The manufacturer lists “MDF, PVC, leather” in one field and “PU resin, MDF with PVC” in another. Read together, that means an MDF cabinet with a printed PVC walnut finish, and PU — synthetic — rather than leather. We would rather say that than let the word leather sit on the page.

What is visible in the photographs

Read off the manufacturer's own images, not written by them. Treat it as observation rather than specification.

A rectangular plinth in a walnut finish with visible grain, on four polished cylindrical feet
A full-size hinged clear acrylic dust cover
A black platter with a fitted mat
A straight tonearm with a detachable headshell and the cartridge visible at the end
Four controls on the front right of the plinth
Two separate satellite speakers in a matching walnut finish with grey fabric grilles
No CD drawer, no radio dial, no cassette door and no recording controls anywhere on the unit

A note on the manufacturer's listing title

The wholesale listing this deck comes from is titled, in part, “AM/FM radio … CD player … recorder”. Its own specification table lists none of those things, and none of them appear in any photograph. That kind of title is keyword padding, common on wholesale sites and meaningless. This turntable plays records. It does not have a radio, a CD player or a recorder.

Not stated by the manufacturer

These are the things we have asked for and do not yet have in writing. Nothing here is a defect; it is simply not confirmed, and we would rather you knew that than read a number we made up.

Tracking force in grams — the number that decides how fast your records wear
The cartridge model, and the resolution of the moving magnet versus ruby contradiction above
Whether the stylus is replaceable, and its part number
Which speeds it plays, and whether it plays 7, 10 and 12 inch records
Drive type — belt or direct
Whether the RCA output is line level or phono level, and therefore whether a phono stage is built in
Whether the Bluetooth transmits, receives, or both
Speaker impedance, and whether the speakers are powered by the deck or separately
Frequency response
Whether the arm has an adjustable counterweight or anti-skate
UK plug type and the adaptor supplied
Exact box contents and cable lengths
Manufacturer's warranty period

Delivery weight

8.0 kg gross. Carton 62 × 50 × 22 cm — large and heavy for a turntable, because the two speakers travel in the same box.

Do I need a phono preamp?

A record player puts out a much weaker signal than anything else in your house, so it needs a phono stage somewhere. The only question is where that stage sits.

If the deck comes with its own speakers, the phono stage is already inside and there is nothing to work out. If you are plugging into an amplifier, look on the back for a socket marked PHONO and use it. If your amplifier only has LINE, AUX or CD sockets, you need a deck with its own phono stage or a separate box from about £25.

This page states what this particular turntable has, and says so plainly where the maker has not told us.

Ask us what works with yours

When does the stylus need replacing?

A stylus wears out somewhere around 500 to 1,000 hours of playing, depending on the type. A worn stylus does not just sound duller — it damages every record you play with it. If you cannot remember ever changing one, it is probably due.

Where the maker names the cartridge, the replacement is a stock part you can buy from any decent dealer rather than something only we can supply. That is stated on this page for each model.

What if I get it home and it is the wrong one?

Thirty days to send it back for any reason. You do not need to explain yourself, but do contact us first so we can send you the return address. Keep the original box if you can - a turntable posted back loose tends to arrive damaged, and that becomes a problem for both of us.

Every turntable also carries a two-year warranty covering parts and labour.
