More than three decades and a whole lot of design later, Esoteric, a niche high-end digital brand for the burgeoning audio revolution ushered in by CD players, has released its first-ever analog turntable.
And the Grandioso T1 has a weight to match its eye-watering price tag. Priced at 7,700,000 yen ($52,000), the T1 features a contoured brushed aluminum chassis similar to the company's other components.
It looks more like something you'd expect to see in a NASA lab or five-star kitchen. It's a behemoth at nearly 100 pounds — about four times the weight of the ubiquitous Technics SL 1200 favored by club DJs.
