The First Turntable

The purely analog sound of music.

On a summer day back in 2012, I went to a coffeeshop in a small alley in Ho Chi Minh city with my friends. The coffee was good, the ambience was nice, but what I was truly amazed and still remember until now is the special characteristic of music that was played there. There were jazz, country and R&B with warm sounds and very special mid-ranges. We later found out that the shop owner is a audiophile and the music we heard is from a high-end sound system with a high-end turntable at the center.

Today, I've bought one for myself, in an attempt to recreate the experience that I've had in the past.
