Can't wait to hear some thoughts in this thing:

No thanks.

 

[Balifly]

No love...

LOVE maintains the intimacy and quality of vinyl records but adds modern day smart features, while keeping the crackles & pops.

If your records have crackles and pops then you're doing something wrong.

Reminds me of the VW Microbus record player from years ago...

Doesn't make any sense from a fidelity point of view. Convenience and "coolness" factor might make it a viable product, but I won't be buying one.

 

[Balifly]

"LOVE plays vinyl the traditional way, with a stylus, with the crackles and pops, with that rich, warm analog sound that bring each song to life."

Who need that?

 

[hi*ball]

This might be one of the worst products and worst advertisements that I have ever seen.
"Rich, warm ~~~Bluetooth~~~ sound"

And a retail price of only $599!

These people who this might appeal to need to just stick to their Crosleys.

I think it's designed more for the smart phone people, especially for those whose phone is smarter then themselves... Anyway you got to love this guy's reasoning. It goes like this:

"I wondered... Why is the record always spinning while the stylus stays put(ch)? I decided to flip that around!"

I am so glad this guy didn't wake up one morning wondering why the turds always flush down the bowl and made no decision about that.

 

[Bugler]

Wow and flutter .2%
Audiophile? I think not

 

[marcmorin]

To quote Monty Python.....search for the holy grail................... "Run Away!!!!!!"


is this the 21st century "Killer Bunny"?

 

[hi*ball]

"That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide!"

 

[Hajidub]

I was going to donate until I was forced to watch that spastic lady dancing in the Kickstarter video. This item might seem cool to some, but it's not a revolutionary product.

 

[rustycat]

Interesting concept but how could a decent amp possibly fit in such a tiny space?

Also, $600? Are they nuts?

 

[KentTeffeteller]

Looks to be cute, but J-U-N-K.

 

[squirrelnest]

Something to use on other peoples vinyl.......

 

[chaz]

What about cartridge alignment? How does that work on this thing? So it says in the ad that there is 'no weight' on the needle - say what now?How does that work? What about records that are not standard thicknesses, thin 70's 80's albums, 180g, 200g? How does it deal with vibration? So many questions not addressed yet they claim Audiophile SQ?
Sorry not even gonna give this a second thought.

 

[ETLS]

Hell, he should make one for under the record. That way all one would have to do, is just flip the record for B side listening.

If he was a good engineer, he'd make it with styli on both sides of the record. It'd only take one half as much time to listen to their collection.
