VICTROLA JOURNEY GLOW
I grew up listening to records on my mum’s old 1950s suitcase-style record player (although it was substantially heavier than the average suitcase, areal tank). So, I’m well disposed towards that retro form, although the market is currently awash with terrible, cheap examples. This, by contrast, is avery good, cheap example – just £79: decent build quality, outputting via minijack or phonos, or indeed streaming directly to Bluetooth speakers and headphones. Its breadth of appeal is neatly demonstrated by its RGB lighting (for teenage gamers) and a78rpm option (for fans of Al Jolson). www.victrola.com
