Text: Usage of terminology is not uniform across the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is often called a ''turntable'', ''record player'', or ''record changer''. When used in conjunction with a mixer as part of a DJ setup, turntables are often colloquially called ''decks''. In later electric phonographs (more often known since the 1940s as record players or, most recently, turntables), the motions of the stylus are converted into an analogous electrical signal by a transducer, then converted back into sound by a loudspeaker.

Question: is a turntable the same as a record player?
yes
