The Phonographic Perambulator No. 1 is a kinetic turntable with aesthetics, sound technology and craftsmanship as catchy as its name. Developed by none other than noted designer and engineer Kostas Metaxas, this turntable is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, while its distinctly wavy appearance comes from the use of a belt-drive system in conjunction with an aluminum surface.
Made entirely by hand, this kinetic turntable is set to be put up for sale for a hefty price of $35,000. In combining the latest and greatest audiophile technology with boldly brilliant design, the Phonographic Perambulator No. 1 is a fine example of engineering and artistic vision colliding with results that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally reliable.
