This kind of goes into the WTF category. Check this: A shelf for your turntable suspended on freakin’ magnets so that vibrations don’t filter through and mess up your perfect audio from your vinyls. At a low price of $500.
Honestly I haven’t seen a lot of old skool technics lately at the clubs in Hollywood, and given that the trend is towards live mashing up and using the latest equipment and laptops, I don’t see how this is practically relevant today. I mean, if the guy has $500 to spend, then he probably wouldn’t be bringing this expensive decide to the house party in the boonies with a plastic table that is also used for beer pong.
Let’s call it what it is– a bait/trap/lure for OCD audiophiles to show off.
“Zero Gravity” shelf cushions your turntable with magnetic forces.
This awesome turntable actually uses freakin’ lasers to read your records. Think about the possiblities! You can make PERFECT duplicates of records with basically an infinite sampling rate without wearing out anything. The caveat? The $15000 (that’s right, 5 figures, baby) price tag only qualifies those with the original gold masters that they themselves produced. So basically, not for the readers of this blog. Go some place cooler. Jeesh.
Apparently, they have an industrial design contest exlusively for the type of sleek, modern-art designed turntables in Europe that you probably expect them to have– at the cost of your firstborn.
