Bringing the Old to the New

(And vice versa). Were it not for the endless changing of 78s, I would invest in a gramophone immediately. Nice, then, that a group of Chicago-based 'inventrepreneurs' have come up with a bluetooth gramophone horn that hooks up with your iPods, iPads and the like to give a dose of olden day glamour with modern sound. The Gramovox™ Bluetooth Gramophone works up to 30 foot away from your device and would play for 15 hours, which is just about enough time to get through the entire Ring cycle, though a survey of all the Mahler Symphonies might just overstretch its capabilities. It's all being funded by a Kickstarter project and, if you're in Europe, you'll need to pledge $349. A good (if luxurious) Christmas present to yourself... click here for more information.
