Does the person need a special turntable for a box set?

No, a standard turntable works for most box sets. Check whether any discs play at 45 RPM and make sure their player has that setting.

How can a gift giver find out which albums the fan already has?

Take a quick look at their shelf or ask a family member. Many fans like box sets anyway for the bonus tracks and extras.
