Jony Ive's first post-Apple hardware project is a $60,000 turntable
LoveFrom’s latest project takes Ive back to his hardware days — it’s a new model of a modular turntable that’s been around for half a century.it was a “very gentle and modest project” for LoveFrom that stems from his team’s admiration for Linn. Perhaps as a result of that, LoveFrom carried out the work pro bono."There are many things that I’ve always wanted to be able to do purely for the love of doing them,” Ive noted.
The design firm approached Linn about working together, in part because Ive is a long-time fan of the brand. The two teams examined every aspect of the LP12 but couldn't change the turntable very much owing to concerns over impact to the sound quality. Still, LoveFrom"saw a number of areas where there could be small improvements and gentle evolutions of the current design," Ive said.
The exterior of the special-edition Sondek LP12-50 looks largely the same as the standard LP12, though the tweaks include rounded off corners for some components rather than squared-off edges. There's a circular aluminum power button instead of a plastic rocker, while a new hinge seemingly enables the dust cover to easily remain open at any angle.Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
