VICTROLA PREMIERE V1
THE METAL PLATTER SITS ON TOP OF THE BUILT-IN STEREO SPEAKERS
£399 / victrola.com
That looks unusually user-friendly for a turntable…
Yeah, for those who got into vinyl for the inconvenience and expense, as many beard-stroking audiophiles seem to do, Victrola’s Premiere V1 is likely to be far too straightforward, not to mention affordable. But for anybody who’s just looking for a bit of hipster kudos without the hassle, this plug’n’play effort makes things much simpler. Rather than a separate turntable, amplifier and speakers, the V1 squeezes them all into one box (OK, two if you count the included wireless sub), with the metal platter sitting on top of the built-in stereo speakers –a bit like a vintage Victrola with an internal horn, only louder.
