If you loved the $4,000 USD SL-1200G, wait until you get a load of the latest turntable from Technics. A luxurious reissue of the classic SP-10, the upcoming SP-10R — unveiled in prototype form in Berlin at IFA 2017 — is billed by parent company Panasonic as its “most premium analog, direct-drive turntable to date.” Perfect for audiophiles, the gorgeous aluminum design sports a 7kg platter of brass — for stability that’s pretty much unrivaled — while a separately-housed power supply minimizes vibrations of the turntable itself. And, like the aforementioned SL-1200G, the SP-10R makes use of Technics’ coreless, cogging-eliminating direct drive. The result, as The Verge notes, is an uber low wow and flutter rate of just 0.015% and a signal-to-noise ratio of an astounding 92db.
The SP-10R is currently on track for a Summer 2018 release at a to-be-determined price point.
The single largest LEGO set to ever be produced has been unveiled, and it’s based on one of the most iconic vehicles to hit the silver screen.
Comprised of an astounding 7,541 pieces, LEGO’s new Ultimate Collectors Series Millennium Falcon is both the longtime toy manufacturer’s biggest physical achievement and the single most expensive LEGO set to hit the market. Retailing at $800 USD, this one’s for serious hobbyists only. Like many other Ultimate Collectors productions, the new Millennium Falcon replica boasts an unmatched attention to detail and construction; the jaw-dropping accuracy showcased in every single one of its bricks should be enough to bring back your favorite Star Wars memories.
A revamped version of the original deluxe edition Millennium Falcon released ten years ago in 2007. The new Millennium Falcon set comes with Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, Old Han, Finn, Rey, and two porg minifigures and is set to hit shelves on October 1. Before that, a 1,106-piece LEGO BB-8 will launch for $99.99 USD starting September 1.
One of the most iconic gaming devices is set to return in sleek new variants. Sony has announced that it will bring back the translucent DualShock controller to the PlayStation 4 console. The transparent apparatus initially launched for the PS1 unit. The new semi-transparent controllers will be available in Crystal, Blue Crystal and Red Crystal color schemes. Each device will set you back approximately $65 USD each.
There is no word yet on an official release, but sources online have reported a launch sometime this month in North American retailers. Check out the photos above and stay tuned for more details.
