Just another several days mate, two weeks tops, honest!

This is the entire world of Hi-Fi delivery in a nutshell. Introduce awesome, life / business changing product at CES, patiently wait for it’s release for another year or so. Pass by the proposed due date. Manufacturer says “two more weeks” and we finally get it in six months later…. This is what we call “Vapor Ware” in the biz. This one is really killing me because it’s so ultra cool. It really is! The good news is that it’s usually worth the wait! Reminds me of those “Star Wars is coming” commercials as a kid.

Proof that if I get enough requests for entry level USB turntables, I will provide. Now you can start spinning vinyl “on the cheap”. I may get one of these for my daughter who’s eight. Her Sesame Street table is totally shot! The fact that it has everything built in is sweet. Here’s a great way to get your feet wet in the “vinyl resurgence” and still have some money left over for records!! Pair this up with the Aktimate and you’ll have a full system for under $1K!
