I know but this is a huge amount of money for a niche product. I'm not sure they're equipped to run their business like Teenage Engineering or another niche thing targeting the very wealthy
- 0_____0 3y agoThey have a 'regular' one that's $120. Maybe this is the Teenage Engineering model.
- copperx 3y agoTeenage Engineering stuff seems completely impractical. Is that the appeal? Take the record player. It looks cool. But only plays 7" records. Through built in speakers. You can use external speaker, but through a 3.5mm plug? What's the use of something like that? Maybe the idea is to use it as decoration? I don't get it. All their products are like that.

- spookie 3y agoWoah! Wait, do they do the same thing for other products as well?
- dagw 3y agoMaybe the idea is to use it as decoration? Basically. If you look at Teenage Engineering as a high end fashion brand, it makes a lot more sense.
- iNerdier 3y agoThe I-1, the model previous to this was designed by teenage engineering. They know what they’re doing.
- 0_____0 3y agoOh no kidding? That's super cool, I didn't know that. And agreed!--

- ricardobayes 3y agoDon't bet against nostalgia though. There are loads of 30-somethings that grew up with this, have a family of their own now, and can afford this.
