I used to play a game with millenials when I would show them the platter of the earlier model RP1 and say that if they could tell me what it was made of that I would give them the record player for free. Roy Gandy (the founder and where the company name comes from) is all about building sensitive vibration measurement machines. They are a law unto themselves and have only one aim which is simply to allow people to have the best music in their homes for the least money and the longest time.Ĭonstructionally this is a device of extreme simplicity but exacting tolerances and critical use of materials. The unique factory that builds these by hand in England has never advertised and never borrowed money. and they have made it look and feel so good. This is simply the best budget turntable. or comes even close to the Rega engineering tolerances at this price level. No other manufacturer engineers their budget record players so extremely by hand. 🎶Ĭheck the links in my bio to see more from both Retrolife & Warner 😎 I can’t wait to post some videos of this setup in its brand new home so you can hear for yourselves how powerful this one is.When they build these record players in the factory in Southend in the U.K there is a man whose sole job is to assemble the tonearm bearing and he sets the tolerance on the tonearm to below one Micron. We went right from this album into some of Bruno’s hits on Apple Music. On top of this, the UD006 has Bluetooth capabilities to blast your favorite songs digitally as well. I could not wait a second longer after unboxing these to check out the sound quality and let me tell you-it’s astounding! This turntable system is a belt drive with a quality wood finish and solid speakers attached to its built in amp. 🎉 This record just released on vinyl on the 26th and is such a fun spin that I had to test this album out ASAP, even before I officially set up the new Bluetooth hifi turntable system in. It’s been a whirlwind but it’s been magical-to add to this magic, we’ve acquired so many new records and even a brand new SETUP for our upstairs living room. Things I did this summer: traveled a LOT and visited three different beaches, built a deck in our backyard, graduated with my marketing degree (planning out graduate school now 🙃), spent quality family time, and reorganized my entire house including our record rooms. I’m back after my summer social media break and it’s been A TRIP.
