The Gabriel Turntable is a hand-crafted audio turntable that was demonstrated at CES 2009. The turntable sports up to four customizable arms that can be used for playing vinyl records at 78, 45, and 33 1/3 rpm. When the company finds a distributor, the turntable will retail for between $27,000 and $64,000.CNN: The best turntable $64,000 can buy? (January 16, 2009)
Floating on Vinyl
The Gabriel turntable uses a technique called magnetic levitation, which Angelis Labor says allows neither friction nor noise in playing vinyl. The turntable and tonearms act separately, using a magnetic field. The three speeds are regulated by electronic cards that can be adjusted to control the speed and reduce motor vibrations.Angelis Labor: Gabriel Turntable
