It was only a matter of time before some record enthusiasts banded together and made listening to vinyl a much more accessible experience.
There’s undoubtedly still a market for records, as lovers of uncompressed sound proved when they came out in force on Record Day last month. However, it’s hard enough to hold onto and look after a record collection – let alone do the same for a working record player. Plus, apart from being pretty expensive, older models of record players have amplifiers that are notoriously hard to maintain.
To try and combat those pitfalls, a company called VNYL have just created the first wireless vinyl record player, and it looks absolutely incredible. VNYL are already known for their subscription service, where they send users a bunch of records each month, based on their tastes.
In a world first, their latest record player will be able to stream music to a variety of speakers using Bluetooth or Airplay – and will allow the streaming of music to Sonos’ entire line of audio products. The TRNTBLE will also identify music that is playing in real time and provide that information through Spotify.
It comes in black, white and gold or creme and gold – and will set you back between $350 and $420 USD.
