If you’re looking to buy a turntable that blows
everything else available in the market out of the water in terms of sound
quality and aesthetics, look no further! Audio engineer and designer of
high-end audio equipment Kostas Metaxas has created a kinetic turntable that’s
made out of a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum and crafted entirely by
hand.
Called the Phonographic Perambulator No. 1, the curvaceous turntable’s
distinctly wavy appearance comes from the use of a Swiss Maxor belt-drive
system that rotates a lathe-turned aluminum platter, which has wave-like
formations on which rides an acrylic mat.
The PP1 turntable will make its public debut at the
upcoming Munich High End Show, where it will be joined by the company’s GQT
Portable Recording Device No 1. The Metaxas & Sins turntable is priced at
whopping US$ 35,000 and is available for pre-order now.
