$64K Turntable ...believe it or not...
“Recession? What recession?” a man might say, before adding his signature to a cheque for $64,000 destined for Angelis Labor, a company that offers the world’s most expensive turntable.
With magnetic levitation running this thing, absolutely zero friction or noise is created. Indeed, the Gabriel turntable is a Ferrari of the turntable world. Actually, maybe it’s more of a Formula 1 car.
The Gabriel is perfect for DJs who need some bling
Talking of Ferrari, the arms of the Gabriel turntable (it can have up to four arms) is made in Modena, Italy in the same factory where they build all those precision parts that go into Ferrari cars.
Magnets are used not merely as a suspension system but also as a way to support the turntable, and the spindle is lifted by the force of magnets while the centering system consists of self-lubricating brass bearings.
The assembled unit weighs over 30 kilos.
I was going to sell my kidney to buy one, but then I visited their website and the 1990 look and feel put me off, and then I had an overwhelming urge to watch an MC Hammer video - ‘Can’t Touch This’ in particular, because, well, we can’t.
