I had found a great USB turntable this past Summer and I love the fact that you can take vinyl and cassettes and turn them into digital files but
nothing can beat a great turntable and most audiophiles will swear by them. Digital is great but analog still rules in my opinion. However in this case conventional design has taken a back seat with this beauty. It's vertical ! They are custom made to order by a small start up company in Chicago. The cost while not prohibitive is way beyond my budget. So you are essentially getting a work of art and the gift of music all in one ! -Mike-

Mike I would like my purple and white dome style mushroom design record player with round speakers and a strobe light from radio shack in the seventies.
I see its only 400.00. Would have thought they wanted the cost of a flight to the moon for it !

It's a very good price for something that's custom built Phil. When I first read the article I figured it was at least a grand. :)
Caper...I think I remember those...lol
This reminds me of the BANG & OLUFSEN ,that I used to sell at Dayton's back in the day , it was a CD PLAYER.
