Crosley's Suitcase-lookalike USB Turntable

DON'T MISS

Nostalgia-loving detail-obsessed electronics company Crosley's newest old-is-new product puts the company in the odd world of USB turntables, where old technology (vinyl) meets new (digital audio) in an uneasy balance of (for the collector) the lesser of two evils. The new product, the oh-so-appropriately named Keepsake USB Turntable, follows the standard for USB turntables: three-speed motor powering a standard record player that happens to have a digital to analog converter with a USB output. Connect the turntable to your computer with a cable, use the included (and unnamed) recording software, and voila! Instant digital recording.

What makes Crosley's different is the housing: while other companies try to go for the youth or DJ markets with modern styling and LEDs, the Keepsake USB Turntable looks firmly towards the past – about 60 years ago, from the looks of its metal-cornered wood box housing, resin and metal handle, and built in stereo speakers. Stereo components? RCA outputs? In my day, young man, we didn’t have fancy RCA outputs. We had our USB port and our stereo speakers and we liked it!
