[Gadhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henry-turntable) introduces a look at its latest device design in the form of the Brad Retro MKII Turntable. The retro inspiration boasts a [colorful hue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debut-evo-2) which gives it a charming visual. The modern features support the function even though it visually looks like it is straight from the 60s.

The [retro elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosystem-3000c) include the thick base in a rectangle form with control knobs at the front. The second model has a new motor and belt drive system that enhances the playback features with no interruptions. It comes with the brand's Ruby stylus and it can be toggled between with a switch. There is an auto start and top function which streamlines the audio experience as a whole.
