Pyle launches Bluetooth Vertical Turntable

As a fan of Hip-Hop music, I spent a lot of my time as a young man digging through crates and collecting vinyl records. Many of my weekends were spent searching for gems in NYC at record stores such as Fat Beats and Beat Street -- it was a lot of fun. Today, I have probably over a thousand records -- many of which cannot be found on digital music services, meaning owning a record player is still a must.

Believe it or not, there are many modern turntables on the market nowadays, as the medium still has a big following. Today, Pyle releases an unusual model that plays the records vertically. While not the first player to do so, it is still out of the ordinary. In addition, it has a USB port for transferring the analog records to digital, plus Bluetooth for playing modern devices using the turntable's integrated speakers.

"The vintage design offers a nostalgic blast from the past. Housed in a handmade wooden stand, the Bluetooth Vertical Turntable is designed with durability and style in mind. The 3-speed turntable compatibility at 33, 45 and 78 RPM is paired with built-in stereo speakers to offer a comprehensive entertainment solution. It not only plays users favorite vinyl records, but it can also connect to any PC directly via USB port, allowing for easy conversion of classic vinyl's to MP3s," says Pyle.

So, is there any benefit to playing a record vertically? From a sound perspective, absolutely not. The only benefit -- other than looking very cool -- is the potential to save space on a desk or table. Since it doesn't need to be as deep, it may free up the surface for more things.

At $120, this seems like a reasonably priced product, although sound quality is unknown -- you will need to wait for reviews or give it a try yourself to find out. With that said, not only can you play the records through the integrated speakers, but you can also connect it to a stereo receiver with the analog RCA jacks.
