No need to throw away all your vinyl: Send some of it into space instead...
So you’ve taken up digital DJing. You have a hard drive full of great MP3s. You’re cutting, scratching, looping, searching and mixing your digital collection like a pro. Only one issue remains: What are you going to do with all that old vinyl?
Number six in our ongoing series of suggestions is this: Instead of selling your old records, why not keep a few of them and dig them out to impress people at dinner parties in years to come by playing them on the incredible floating turntable?
Designer Rhea Jeong has invented this novel device. The base elevates the record, and the red blob is needle, amplifier and speaker all in one.
It's not quite DJing, but there's probably a knack to it anyway.
No doubt it sounds terrible, and I’d love to see someone try to DJ using two of them, but hey, it’s a talking piece for years to come when vinyl will become a novelty.
It’s also something to dig out when your kids ask: “What are those round black things at the back of the wardrobe, daddy?”

Wall Art, get some frames and hang them up around the house. Brings back some good memories….good stuff!
not so arty with white labels tho!
[ link ]This is not to save the vinyl, is to destroy it! How one can do that to their priced vinyl collection? I don’t care if I don’t play it anymore, I’ll keep my records and my Technics forever and do some vinyl sets at home from time to time just to remember the sound of those jewels.
