Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 157 – Original upload 1.11.26

This playlist is 79% vinyl friendly. Not bad. On the wall and not a table – the Trettitre TTT-LP3 Wireless Vinyl Player at nearly €500 and everything beyond (the tone arm, stylus, EP adapter, cassette and CD players, wall rack) is extra. The mood lighting (variable) is included. Any track marked * has been given […]

This playlist is 67% vinyl friendly. Poor. A Denon DP-3000 Direct Drive Servo Turntable Analog Record Player JP… which I’d fully expect to be also skirting over the carpet and hoovering. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a […]

This playlist is 89% vinyl friendly. Impressive. Philips, 1970s Rosita Commander Luxus. Rarer in black, one or the other should have been on the Starship Enterprise. Something I wrote two minutes before I saw a comment online saying as much. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 […]

This playlist is 91% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Philips, The Tina Century Bluetooth Turntable room.. A £350-£400 retro look to blend in with your wood panelling room, it reminds me of a car grill from the 1960s. Built-in speakers with deep (how low can you go) bass and crystal-clear highs. Any track marked * has […]

This playlist is 73% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The ‘cack handed’ HMV 1507 portable radiogram. When from? It’s old. An online post from nearly two decades ago… ‘… came across this rather strange record player, though quite admirably I resisted buying it! The casing is a bit weird in that the lid seems to cover […]

This playlist is 87% vinyl friendly. Impressive. Döhmann Helix One MK III Turntable with Vacuum Hold-Down Previewing at The 2026 AXPONA Show, I’m not sure whether the $150,000 price tag included the Wilson Benesch Graviton Ti arm, Tessellate Diamond cartridge, Supatrac Nighthawk 12** arm with DS Audio Grandmaster EX cartridge, analog front end feeding the ARC Ref […]

This playlist is 73% vinyl friendly. Not bad. From 2016, the TechDas Air Force One Premium turntable might well have been aimed initially at the present user of said plane, if features like vacuum clamping, pneumatic bearings, the Disc suction system and an impressive Wow & Flutter ratio of 0.03% (WRMS) were his or her […]

This playlist is 68% vinyl friendly. Poor. Teenage Engineering’s PO–80 Record Factory turntable. In a move to avoid wrecking their dads’ pride and joy, maybe an inexpensive (approx £300) route to young kids getting the feel of spinning vinyl? Beyond maybe playing a Factory Records record on this Record Factory turntable, with six black five-inch […]

This playlist is 63% vinyl friendly. Very poor. The Vertere DG-1 Dynamic Groove. One commentator queried whether ‘the design wandered in the direction of form over function‘, but this, the company’s entry level version, was voted in What Hi-Fi‘s updated 2025 ‘20 very best turntables of (the magazine’s) lifetime‘… but it had detractors elsewhere. My […]

This playlist is 72% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The SL-1300G in 2025. Technics keeping it simple with the design, if not with the spec trying to convince punters they need one. ‘Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation The use of a coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates uneven rotation of the turntable […]
