If a small-footprint turntable that screams ‘fun’, ‘quirky’ and ‘different’ is high on the agenda, then you might need to go vertical. Paul Rigby reviews the Pro-Ject VT-E
If you were in a board meeting at Turntables Inc and were eager for promotion, the very last idea you would put forward as a new design for the future Autumn campaign is a turntable that stands on its end.
