Yesterday was Ciaran's birthday. I had originally thought of getting him a portable Bose Bluetooth speaker. However, I decided that something better was a Record Player.
But not just any Record Player. A retro looking Philips with a modern update being that you can play bluetooth through it. This is quite a nifty feature - we popped Spotify on and the sound quality through the speaker was excellent.
The new Philips OTT2000/12 is based on a 1965 Philips Record Player
Along with the turntable, there is also a CD player, a radio, a USB connection and of course the bluetooth facility.
Here it is all set up and working. The lid can also be closed when playing a record. At the moment we have all of two vinyls. A Talking Heads album and a Hits of the Sixties compilation record which cost me €2. I suggested to Ciaran that we head in to Tower Records to buy another album but he said no way is he buying new. He said he is only buying second hand and not spending any more than a few euro. What a hipster!
For info., I shopped around for the Record Player and found it was the cheapest in Harvey Norman.
