![]() Arnii Krooger, please avert your eyes. I'm about to link to a news story that will cause your undies to twist themselves into a knot. CNN tells of a $27,000 turntable that's engraved with each buyer's name. (There's also a $64,000 version that has FOUR arms.) It's called the Gabriel Turntable, and you won't find it at Wal-Mart. Crafted in limited editions by an Italian company that will engrave each buyer's name on it, the Gabriel is to a Kenner Close 'N Play what a Ferrari is to a Yugo. "When I look at it," said Placido Pappalardo, co-owner of maker Angelis Labor, "the only word that comes to mind is love." http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/01/16/ces.luxury.turntable/index.html To me, it looks like a prop from one of The Donald's glitzy condos. "It is a thing of beauty," said Jonathan Valin, executive editor of The Absolute Sound magazine, who saw the turntable in Las Vegas but didn't get to hear it. "Whether it is a world-class turntable, I don't know." Just the ringing endorsement audiophiles look for. |

Agreed. A proper setting might be one of Hef's bedrooms in the Playboy Mansion. Replace the turntable with a upwards pointed water nozzle and it might make a pretty impressive bidet. ;-) |

![]() Uh-oh. A big "Oops!" on my part. I accidentally triggered the Krooborg's "I said it first" reflex. "When I look at it," said Placido Pappalardo, co-owner of maker Angelis Labor, "the only word that comes to mind is love." http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/01/16/ces.luxury.turntable/index.html To me, it looks like a prop from one of The Donald's glitzy condos. Agreed. I misspoke. I meant to say it reeks of class and exudes a powerful aura of audio excellence. My mistake. |
