Austrian audio firm Pro-Ject have teamed up with Harley-Davidson for a new turntable which is said to bring the “mechanical soul of the open road to your living space”.
The two-speed, belt-driven unit’s plinth design has been inspired by the iconic Harley-Davidson “Bar & Shield” logo and whole turntable has been created from polished aluminium and stainless steel, while it also has a leather mat to represent the motorcycle brand’s bike saddle.
Getting into the “engine” of the Harley-Davidson turntable, and you’ll find a diamond-cut aluminium sub-platter and heavy glass main platter, an 8.6” aluminium S-shaped tonearm, a DC/AC generator, a Pick It Pro Moving Magnet cartridge, height-adjustable feet for total balance and a heavy duty Record Puck for keeping your vinyl on top of the platter.
Pro-Ject say: “Every edge, every curve is a deliberate nod to over a century of American motorcycle heritage – reborn here as a platform for pure high-end audio performance.
“The glass platter is a heavy, zero-resonance design. The high mass of the platter produces the tightest and most accurate playback speeds and at the same time, allows you to see the stunning turntable and all of its high-quality parts and incredible build quality – avoiding the flaws of plastic or lightweight construction.
A couple of weeks ago, alt-rock institution Weezer released the Gold Album, which they recorded with producers Kenneth Blume and Klas Åhlund. Every new Weezer album seems like it’s partly an excuse to kick off another big tour, and another big tour is now underway. For the next month and a half, Weezer will hit arenas across America on their Gathering tour, which also includes openers the Shins and Silversun Pickups. (They’ll bring another version to Europe with Taking Back Sunday next year.) The tour started on Tuesday night at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center, and Weezer’s set included a bunch of songs that they haven’t played live in a long time.
Two different visions of light within black metal will share the road next spring. ALCEST will tour Europe and the United Kingdom with AGRICULTURE between March 12 and April 10, 2027.
