Audio-Technica has been making audio products like headphones and turntables for a long time. We may be in the midst of the digital music revolution with most other music formats becoming an afterthought to many consumers, but there are still those out there who like the old school sound of vinyl.
One thing that I haven’t really been interested in since I spent a week being grounded for trying to scratch with my dad’s Thriller album was being a DJ. If you are the DJ sort looking to take your game to the next level, Pioneer has unveiled a pair of new digital turn tables.
If you’re looking for a bit of unique decor for your home, love turntables and clocks, then you’re in for a treat with this Recycled Fischer Turntable Clock. Made from an old turntable, this clock functionally tells time and looks cool doing it.
Now this is something my dad would love. The Stanton T.55 USB Turntable is a brand new gadget that makes it so you can listen to your vinyl records on your MP3 player. And the best part is you don’t have to worry about complicated connections or transfers.
I’ll admit, I had no idea what I was getting into when I opened up the Pacemaker. The functionality and the features of the device are astounding. The Pacemaker Pocket DJ system is a 60 GB portable turntable and mixer that allows you to store your music, beats, and mixes on the internal storage, and spin your music on the go. The Pacemaker features the ability to play two tracks side by side, allowing fading and mixing between the two tracks. Cross fading and mixing is an easy task since you can select any two tracks on the device and have one playing while the other is cued up. Whatever track is active will play through the speakers, while you can have the preview of the cued track playing through the headphones.
It’s almost Christmas, which means just about everything goes red for a special edition. If you’re going to pick up one festive-themed gadget this year, might we suggest the Redpoint Model A Testa Rossa Racing Red edition – the company’s classic audiophile turntable. Built upon a solid aluminum billet base with a silicone-oil-damped composite Teflon platter, the Model A would make the ideal gift for someone who refuses to give up their vinyl.
Since vinyl purists are such, well, purists, it comes as no surprise that they favor different needle cartridges depending on the type of music they’re listening to. No problem if you only play, say, jazz, but if you’re also partial to some reggae, string quartet and classic ABBA, that’s a whole lot of switching and tweaking each time. New York audio pros High Water Sound may have the answer: a modified TW-Acoustic Raven AC turntable with four separate, independent arms and cartridges.
