Turntables hit the mainstream


Just saw an ad in an upscale newspaper that Neiman-Marcus is selling the Shinola turntable for about $2500 or so. It makes me wonder whether they have salespeople trained to explain to a prospective buyer that it’s not a self-contained unit and they’ll need a cartridge, phono preamp and hifi system to make it work. But I do think it’s a good start.  Then again, if they carry Shinola, why not Wilson, Goldmund, etc?   There's a lot of profit in those products and stores like NM attract a weathy crowd.  Seems like a natural pairing.

It's already underway.

Of course it's not likely to enjoy a resurgence equal to that of the LP.
I'm a wristwatch geek and am hoping Shinola starts building mechanical watches as quartz seems just too easy and for watch snobs it just won't do…nice designs, but they can get automatic or wind up movements from Selitta or somebody and there ya go.
