The Record Player Reboot Appeals to Lovers of Compact Gadgets

The Record Player Reboot is designed to seduce a breed of music enthusiasts who are drawn to the hi-tech evolution of song-playing apparatuses but maintain a deep devotion for the vinyls that made a popular appreciation for rock what it is today.

A hybrid piece of equipment has resulted, boasting the most modern and finely tuned components of an older technology with the streamlined appearance of a contemporary device. The big boxy frame of the characteristic record player has been exchanged for an impressively small pedestal in which cutting-edge electronic parts have been condensed. The circular plate of Siddharth Vanchinathan's Record Player Reboot is its broadest feature so that, to the best of its ability, it follows suit with existing desktop devices to take up less workstation space.
