They must be targeting a very small niche of vinyl lovers; I mean really, really small if the target demographic is vinyl lovers with $56,000 to spend on a turntable. What makes it unique is that the [turntable has three motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reference-10-turntable) built around a hot shot sound pickup. Highwater Sound has tweaked it with four arms that come from Breuer Dynamic, Graham Engineering, Triplanar, and [Ortofon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-automat-a2). The music pick ups are Dynavector, Ortofon, and Miyabi, certainly give it an extra edge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-end Turntables:** The trend of producing high-end turntables for audiophiles and DJs who are willing to pay a premium for exceptional sound quality presents an opportunity for manufacturers to disrupt the market and cater to this niche market. - **Advanced Sound Pickups:** The trend of incorporating high-quality, advanced sound pickups by turntable manufacturers provides an opportunity to produce sharper audio and disrupt the market with superior sound quality. - **Multi-armed Turntables:** The trend of producing multi-armed turntables presents an opportunity to cater to DJs and audiophiles who require greater precision and flexibility in controlling sound, thereby disrupting the market and maintaining a competitive edge. ### Who This Affects Most - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** The audio equipment manufacturing industry can capitalize on the trend of producing specialized high-end turntables and advanced sound pickups to attract and serve audiophiles and DJs seeking superior sound quality. - **Music Production:** The music production industry can disrupt the market and achieve a competitive edge by incorporating multi-armed turntables into their repertoire, providing producers with greater precision and flexibility in controlling sound. - **Luxury Consumer Goods:** The luxury consumer goods industry can target affluent audiophiles and DJs who are willing to pay a premium for high-end turntables and advanced sound pickups, providing an opportunity to disrupt the market and establish brand loyalty among this niche demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Audiophile Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-signature-122-turntable.md) - [Illusory Floating Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiotechnica-hotaru.md) - [Advanced Opulent Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-122.md) - [Industrial Aluminum Block Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waiting-for-ideas-pp1-turntable.md) - [Hefty Direct-Drive Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/directdrive-turntables.md) - [Stylishly Textural Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrensilva-loft-tuxedo.md) - [Record Label-Approved Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcintosh-mti100-integrated-turntable.md) - [Premium Direct-Drive Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-directdrive-turntable.md) - [Budget-Friendly Vinyl Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluance-rt81-turntable.md)
