Turnstyle: super-minimalist turntable
Designer RD Silva's Turnstyle record player reduces a turntable to the bare minimum: a stylus arm, a motor, a switch and a speaker. It's the polar opposite of the first record player I bought for myself, around 1985 -- a Panasonic all-in-one radio/turntable/double cassette deck that was the size of a bar fridge but weighed only a few kilos, having been bulked up in a big, largely empty box to make it seem more substantial and therefore worth the price.
