PRO-JECT AC/DC TURNTABLE Record players can be fairly staid affairs – after all, the music is the main attraction, not the medium, right? Wrong. Pro-Ject’s new AC/DC Turntable is about as much of a statement piece as a record player can possibly be, turning heads as much as the sweet sounds emanating from it.

As always, Apple is paving the way for spatial content, and this update feels like a bold step in that…
