CES 2016: Sony's retro throwback banks on whether you still have vinyl

CES 2016: Sony's retro throwback banks on whether you still have vinyl

Call it a vinyl comeback. Just hours after the Technics SL-1200G made its resurgence, Sony unveiled a new turntable of its own.

The PS-HX500 has that classic look you may remember from back in the day (I'm getting flashbacks of my parents' record placer and its beige-tinted plastic cover as I type).

It turns vinyl, but this is a decidedly high-tech turner. It will take the tunes you're spinning and digitize them onto a USB for storage. You can record tracks in several different formats, all the way up to DSD quality. Unlike your parents' record player, the PS-HX500 is designed not to skip thanks to its hollow arm, and anti-vibrating tech in the legs won't mess with your songs.

It'll work with either a Mac or PC. This could be an audiophiles dream, but we don't know how much it will cost. Look for it sometime this spring.
