The CDesign CD player is styled after the classic record player. Designer J. David Weiss, with engineers from North Carolina State University, created this cool concept that reflects the former LP turntable.
After the CD is locked into position, an arm which incorporates a laser reader folds down to meet the disc, and the tunes rip!
The designers estimate the retro unit will cost between $150 and $250 once produced. It’s a small price to pay to be on the cutting edge of sound.
