Third Man Records has partnered up with a fellow Detroit institution Shinola to create the first ever Third Man Turntable. The new item is now available for pre-order online now and will be available in Third Man Records stores on Black Friday.
Every element, including the craftsmanship of the plinth, precision-machined aluminum platter, and powerful, ultra-quiet motor, is hand-assembled piece by piece. The turntable features a built in, switchable phono preamplifier and a belt driven pulley with speeds of 33 1/3 rpm and 45rpm. It is equipped with an Ortofon 2M blue phono cartridge with many components made by VPI Industries, an American veteran of turntable manufacturing.
