Metallica gets its own turntable Pro-Ject with a metal theme and I will fight with you for one

For the fans who stayed with Metallica’s journey from the metal heroes of the 80’s during their period as Internet punching bagto their eventual redemptionhere a gramophone seemingly worthy of a greeting from the devil’s horn. The Metallica Limited Edition turntable is a collaboration between the group and the Polish manufacturer Pro-Ject.

The turntable has an MDF base that mimics the band’s logo and boasts a mirror finish for added metallic authority. But it’s not just a flash for heavy rock fans, as this table also seems to have audiophile-level meetings.

The player has a glass plate and the new aluminum lining, and the tonearm is S-shaped with a detachable shell on the head. The Pro-Ject Pick it S2 C is available pre-installed, while the tracking power, anti-skating and VTA are adjustable by the user. To complete the package, the metal legs are height-adjustable, while the speed adjustment can be done by turning the switch (instead of removing the plate and adjusting the drive belt).

For me, I had friends who liked them in the 80’s, but they always seemed a little too … cool. I started appreciating the band after reading Jason Newstead’s interviews Bassist Magazine on top of their “pop” period. Do I want one of these turntables? Yes – yes, I do. I mean, just look … who * removes vaguely * Do I need one? Not at all. But if you have even a fleeting interest in heavy metal vinyl, this turntable seems to have both sound and appearance.

The Metallica Limited Edition turntable will be available this summer for $ 1,599.
