    ... Ordered Christmas present for the lad, a small turntable for vinyl. ...

    What was it?
    I picked up a Rega planar for very little and I made a Mahogany plinth for it.

    It's a Sound Burger, ridiculous name but he couldn't take the old Bang & Olufsen he got when we cleared my folks place out as it's too big. This is considerably smaller than an album.
    I wouldn't go back to vinyl for everyday use, but it's nice every now and then. Definitely has a warmer sound to it than streaming music, probably helps that it's playing on good quality equipment.




    Hope The Lad doesn’t read your social media posts or his Xmas is ruined… lol
    I'm sure he has many better things to do than read the waffle of a bunch of old men that like bikes, at least I bloody well hope so 😂

    That looks quite neat, may get one for my old vinyl collection.

    Yes, packs away small and has a Bluetooth connection or a line out socket, so connects to modern or old tech. Convenient for occasional use.
