These contemporary record players put a modern spin on the iconic music player of the past. With sleek design details and outlandish finishes, these avant-garde music devices are fit for the most chic of homes.
While the Gramovox spins records on a vertical angle, Yakir Buaron's record player hosts the record right side up while boasting a minimalist design that allows users to view exactly how the contraption works. Contemporary record players also include portable devices which allow users to be mobile with their favorite records. While the Rawman 3000 acts as a Discman for vinyl LPs, the Toc is a football-shaped speaker that vertically plays records and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Whether an experienced DJ or an avid music fan, these contemporary record players are worth investing in.
