Record Player USA — The Time Has Come to Demand Excellence in Music Again
Portable record player demand is as much a backlash of the digital era as it is a passion to enjoy music the way things used to be. A playlist was the back of an album cover. A phonograph was an American-made beauty with native-born ingredients. Metal turntable. Analog circuitry. Volume adjusted by a real knob. Power controlled using a real switch. Real music from real vinyl.
Enjoy the Tube-Like Sound of Old with the Convenience of Portability
This record player’s sound quality surpasses any portable audio product, thanks to Solid Valve Technology™. Solid Valve Technology™ is solid-state amplification that achieves vacuum tube sound by linearizing the interelectrode capacitances of transistors. To prove that this is science and not hype, please hear the videos, featuring unretouched sound.
The tone control circuitry operates in a unique way that is more useful and functional than standard. A traditional tone control boosts and cuts bass and treble in a continual slope, which causes the sound to be too muffled or too shrill at the extremes. This tone control circuit treats bass and treble frequencies as groups that are boost and cut as plateaus.
Power is derived from four alkaline “C” cells. After playing twenty LPs at three-quarter volume, the batteries are still going strong and have only decreased by 0.1 volts, thanks in part to a Swiss-made DC motor. A novel power supply architecture assures accurate record speeds and pristine audio reproduction throughout the entire life of the batteries. Battery changes are seldom needed, much like household quartz clocks. An exclusive braking system (Patent Pending) stops the spinning platter virtually as soon as you switch the power off. No more waiting for spin down or hand braking, sometimes at the expense of the record.
A High-End Portable Record Player Demands Beautiful Wood Cabinetry
Beloved old portable record players used chipboard (cardboard-like) construction and paper cabinet covering. This record player has a stained wooden cabinet manufactured by a retired master carpenter who emigrated to New Jersey from Croatia in 1961. He constructs cabinet and lid as one piece, sawing the lid from the body upon completion. The resulting wood grain alignment is akin to a fine, American-made guitar. The beautifully decorated motor board is laser-cut from aircraft aluminum alloy and finished in satin automotive clear coat.
