10 Vintage-Style Record Players (And Win a New One)

Call them turntables or record players.  Whatever you prefer, they’ve been back in style for a couple of years now as more people rediscover the warmth and fidelity of vinyl.  Brandish.tv has this photo gallery of modern reproductions of old-school record playersF.

Fancy a new turntable of your own?  I’ve struck an arrangement with Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto and Universal Music Canada to give away the following:

(1) A Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable with an Ortofon M2 Red cartridge. That’s the grand prize. (MSRP is $449 CAD)

(2) A selection of 180 gram vinyl from Universal Music Canada. There will be a series of winners for that.

All you have to do to be eligible to win is sign up for my daily newsletter between now and the end of the month. On March 1st, I’ll select the winners who will be notified by email. (If you already subscribe to the newsletter, you’re already in the draw.)

All you need to give up for the newsletter is your name and email address. For that, you’ll be in the draw and you’ll get 10 cool music news stories in your inbox by 10am ET every day. No spam. Ever. The only catch is that you must be a resident of Canada. No purchase necessary.

  • You can purchase these fine tables at Planet of Sound in Ottawa and Toronto. Great store and lots of cool audio treats. They even have a small selection of vinyl.

    Not sure if you have heard of this store, but definitely worth checking out. Say hello to Gunner for me if your in the Toronto store.
