Is this a disgrace to the Industry ?

$599?! Nice margin. For that price you can get a real record player, not this toy.

This is not for me, I'm nauseated and dizzy!

I actually like the concept a great deal.

Is it for the die hard audiophile?  Of course, not.  But I'm happy to say I share onhwy61's sentiments

Wait.  What?

So, let me make sure I understand this right.

This product claims to preserve the "original organic sound of vinyl" by turning an analog waveform into a digital signal to be sent via bluetooth or WiFi to be reconverted via a cellphone codec to an analog speaker.

Did I miss something here?

It's a conversation starter,  I was trying to figure who it was marketed to.

Not an autophile, too expensive to buy a child, someone curios about vinyl would want a traditional TT I would think, why else go vinyl.

Maybe if it cleaned the record at the same time. It looks like a anti-static device.
