I believe the answer is:

turntable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'holder of a record for spinning' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'holder of a record' is the wordplay.
'holder of' becomes 'turn' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a record' becomes 'table' (I've seen this before).
'turn'+'table'='TURNTABLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turntable that I've seen before include "On which a railway engine or a record spins" , "it's spinning on the deck" , "Record spinner" , "Old record-holder" , "LP support" .)
