Sony PSH-X500 turntable
If you're mourning the loss of vinyl, Sony's offering a way to preserve your records without losing the tonal characteristics you love. Direct-to-digital turntables aren't new, but this one records to DSD, Sony's high-quality digital audio format.
USB turntables have been the bane of audiophiles since their invention. They are typically cheap, plasticky, and can be bettered by non-USB models.
However, Sony is using its "Hi Res" banner to sell its latest PSH-X500 USB turntable, and it does appear to be a step above most of its ilk. First off, it looks good! It's got a low-slung aluminum platter with a sleek rubber mat and an adorable snub-nosed tone-arm. Unlike competitors, the cabinet is made of MDF rather than plastic.
