The world’s best record players are all made by Audio-Technica. It is the brand that everybody, who is into vinyl, recommends. I would love to own an Audio-Technica product, but all their starter turntables are priced at $200 to $350. Those are the starters, which are the “cheap” entries. If you want to “Step-Up”, those starts at $400… and when you go all-in, you’re looking at $2,000 for a turntable. That is crazy money to throw at a record player, in my opinion.
Supergroup Deltron 3030 (Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator and Kid Koala) just rocked the Uptown Theater, in Minneapolis, last Wednesday. They did all the hits (“3030”, “Positive Contact”, “Memory Loss”), and, like the last time, they played “Clint Eastwood”, the song that made Gorillaz famous.
