A newly designed turntable makes it possible to elevate your beloved records like they deserve, and watch the vinyl levitate before your very eyes\u2026 sort of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new concept for the \u201cfloating\u201d turntable, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/01\/20\/harman-kardon-inspired-levitating-turntable-concept-lends-magic-to-your-musical-listening-experience\/\">named the Levi,<\/a> was designed by Jimin Hwang and Jihyo Seo from Seoul, inspired by the designs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harmankardon.co.uk\/\">Harman Kardon.<\/a> The use of an electromagnetic drive and coils means the records appear to levitate as they turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LEVI - levitating turntable\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/487597660?h=acbff9f280&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Levi <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/top-5-record-players-under-1000\/\">record player<\/a> has four settings, soothing, refreshing, sweet, and bittersweet. Choose a mode and the platter moves up and down. It\u2019s got a super-fresh pure white base and tonearms in bright colours that can be swapped over. It looks cool, basically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No word on how the records actually sound, though. And sadly there\u2019s no release date set for the turntable as of yet, so you\u2019ll have to keep using your boring gravity-obeying turntable for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinyl records have never been so <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/vinyl-sales-has-its-best-week-in-history\/\">popular.<\/a> Despite the age of <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-upload-my-music-to-spotify-yes-and-its-free\/\">Spotify<\/a> and streaming, enthusiasts still love the ritual of removing the record from the sleeve and listening to the music in a raw, authentic way. They\u2019re also a must-have accessory to display in the home \u2013 that\u2019s the category that the Levi fits into. Last year, sales of vinyl made more money than CDs for the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/vinyl-records-are-making-more-money-than-cds-first-time-since-the-1980s\/\">first time since the 1980s.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wish your records could float elegantly before your very eyes?
