Got a minute and a half? Spend it watching Rodents on Turntables. The video delivers exactly what its name is, showing mice and hamsters run on top of a spinning turntable; and it is oddly fun to watch.

Re imagining turntables as ceramics
Turntables have been witnesses to great times, and they still manage to have a good following. Fabien Clerc’s turntables don’t just play sweet music, but these turntables from the series “Back in the good old days” will manage to grab eyeballs. The artist explores the idea of luxury with turntables made of ceramic, with intricate patterns and small touches of gold leaf. The fully functional ceramic turntables sit in a DJ setup, atop a red table; a setting that goes well with the idea of luxury.

Denon Turntable Converts Vinyls To MP3s
For many, vinyl records are prized possessions. But then there’s always a risk that these may get scratches. Denon’s time-traveling turn table offers to take care of that part by converting the vinyls to mp3s. You just need to put the 7in or 12in, 45 or 33.33rpm record onto the spindle and the turntable will digitize the collection and store it to a flash drive. The automated turntable looks for silent spaces between tracks and uses them to split the tracks, that’s the only where the $220 turntable could be a problem.
