I know that there are already turntables out there with USB ports, and other ways to transfer your vinyl to digital, but this actually has an iPod dock. Just drop your iPod on there and don’t worry about wires at all. Of course, it apparently only works with a 5th generation iPod or 2nd generation [...]

Yes, you read that right. This Montegiro Lusso Turntable does cost more than many new cars including the top luxury cars. Sounds crazy I know.
Doesn’t it look cool? But where are you going to put it. I mean, it’s chrome and black, except for our kitchen (stainless steel and black appliances) where else will this [...]

I saw an article in Tulsa Today News about records and basically the ‘revolution’ that is happening. There are some good pars that I will show here.
“…but nothing sounds as good as a vinyl record. That’s not an opinion; it’s a fact. That’s why some records were cut direct-to-disk, bypassing analog tape with [...]

As I was playing a record the other day, I started thinking to myself, “Man, what is wrong, am I hearing what digital dorks hear when they listen to a record? This doesn’t sound so great.” Then I put on a record that I know sounds good, and it sounded like crap.
It reminded me [...]

I love records. I love the sound of a vinyl record, even if it has some imperfections. There is such a warmth and realism in the sound of a record that I just don’t get from a CD. It helps that in addition to being a musician, I have done a lot of sound engineering, [...]

Yes, you read that right. This little VW Bus looks like a Hot Wheel. But it plays records.
Thats just crazy. Why I would ever want to play that on most of my records is beyond me, but it is pretty cool.
Apparently, it only comes as a Volkswagen Bus. But it comes in many different [...]

I came across this record player a few years ago, and recently found it again. It actually uses lasers to play the record instead of a needle. In spite of this, it is still analog, not digital.
The ELP Laser Turntable uses five lasers, two to track along the grooves, one to stay the same distance [...]
