USB Turntable
Remember those days when vinyl was the in thing? My uncle has a collection of vinyl records to which I broke some because they look so flimsy that my young 9 year old hands just had to try its strength on it. Anyway, after some heartbreaking moments and being screamed by my mother, my uncle put on Engelbert Humperdink’s record…*shudders*
But shuddering aside, i was fascinated by how a small needle is the only point used to play the vinyl on a turntable. Anyway, now, vinyl records are a dying breed, if not already dead. I found this gadget on ThinkGeek where it’s a USB Turntable by Numark. How cool is that? It’s cool because now, you can play your old Engelbert Humperdink’s songs via a USB Turntable. I would shout “The Vinyls are back!” but i think this gadget is just another fad. It’ll fade away - yes, right after you rip your vinyls into MP3’s yo’!
