Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 146 – Original upload 7.12.25
This playlist is 65% vinyl friendly. Very poor. Scorchio! ‘1960/1970 Vintage Stereo Design Record Player, in bright orange, the emblematic colour of the 1960 and an example of Mod Ultra Space Age Pop Art Raymond Loewy? France French Designer Museum-worthy‘ says the Etsy seller, adding ‘It has a few cracks, one of the speakers has […]

This playlist is 73% vinyl friendly. Not bad. Anonymous ‘radiogram’, 1960s… and even at its size, the sort of set up that most families of the time had when music was really just a household component. Ours followed on from a legless Dansette-type turntable and was initially used primarily for the radio, with Dad wiring […]

This playlist is 68% vinyl friendly. Poor, and the first show to hit that exact mark… though with a likely future vinyl release it should inch up at some point. ‘A German (Dieter Rams) design classic… that caused uproar in the ’60s as one of the first light-weight record players to eschew the heavy wooden […]

This playlist is 79% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The Vertere SG-1/Xtrax! Named by designer and founder, Tourag Moghaddam like a very expensive thing… and at nearly £45,000 in 2023 it was. With its ‘strategically placed LEDs embedded in the sumptuous acrylic plinth‘, when What Hi-Fi reached their 50th birthday earlier this year the turntable made […]

This playlist is 76% vinyl friendly. Not bad. RCA Victor, 1950s. ‘No frills’ would be an understatement. Did the job though, no doubt. 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 bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the […]

This playlist is 52% vinyl friendly. Worst ever! Apologies to all vinyl enthusiasts. The Miniot Wheel is as minimalist a stab at the record turntable as can be. ‘A modified Audio-Technica cartridge plays the record from underneath, with the spindle in the centre used to turn it on and off, skip tracks and adjust the […]

This playlist is 66% vinyl friendly. Very poor. ‘Reimagining the classic portable turntable and designed for DJs, vinyl enthusiasts, and creative performers in 2025, the Korg Handytraxx combines portability with cutting-edge features, including unique Korg digital effects, a built-in audio looper, and with a high-quality fader included‘, says the promo blurb. Another dealer added, ‘Optimised […]

This playlist is 81% vinyl friendly. Not bad. ‘Winner of Best Domestic Design at the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2023, this Brian Eno turntable has a stunning LED light feature that changes according to your music. Created in collaboration with the Paul Stolper gallery, the psychedelic turntable sold out back in 2021 but hasn’t become any […]

This playlist is 82% vinyl friendly. Impressive. The Gearbox MKII Transparent Turntable, made in Europe by Pro-ject to North London’s Gearbox Records’ specifications and retailing around £549. Plays at both 33 rpm and 45 rpm and in being equipped with Bluetooth it can also play through desktop speakers. Just a thought… the transparent body showcasing […]

This playlist is 93% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. New in 2025, the Korg Handytraxx is a funky looking lad. A portable belt drive motor turntable ‘aimed at both DJs and vinyl enthusiasts’ that can run either via AC power or AA batteries and features a 2.5w built-in speaker. From £359 through to £1099, depending on […]
