Crosley Revolution Ultra-Portable Record Player [no turntable]

by Jay Garrett on January 10, 2010

If you can remember the very cool Linos ultra-portable record deck and thought that it was way too much of a futuristic concept – have a look at The Revolution from Crosley!

I’m feeling this design so much.

The Revolution isn’t meant to be hooked up to your Hi-Fi system but for taking your vinyl with you.

It runs on batteries and mains power, has USB out and 3.5mm jack. To keep this up-to-date it will feature software that will tag and ID your vinyl to digital rips.

I think this would be ideal for the office, bedroom or for occasional record playing and at around £95 it’s not going to break the bank.

The Crosley Revolution should be out mid-year in black and then a multitude of hues later.

Most people will have at least heard of Tarot cards – when I had the time I learned to read them and actually gave readings to a load of friends.
I use a traditional Rider-Waite deck but the geek in me was drawn to this cool spin on the Tarot card.
This modern reworking is what happens [...]

Top Deck! Montegiro Lusso Da Vinci

The arm is, of course, a Da Vinci Nobile carbon-fiber unit which holds [...]
