Stereos, Tapes, CDs and Vinyl Records: My Frustrating Romance With Old-Fashioned Audio Gear

So, here's the thing. My stereo components have been in boxes gathering dust ever since I became a fully fledged member of the iPosse. Ditto for my CDs, cherished cassette tapes and even a few essential vinyl records.

Technics vs. Marvel Shirts Are Perhaps the Most Incredible Shirts Ever

Even though our (pretend) DJ days were over back in college, we still have a fond spot in our hearts for Technics and their beautiful equipment.

If they weren't $50 each, we'd stock up on one apiece. [DMCWorld via Audio Junkies]

Mister Disc, The "Portable" LP Player

Keeping with our tech-from-20-years-ago theme, we present you with Mister Disc. This "miniature" beauty was a portable LP player created by Audio Technics in 1983. It was even battery powered to ensure "on the go" fun. Although fun could not consist of moving or any vibrations in general, otherwise your music would come to abrupt stop. Maybe this would be a good time to take a couple of minutes and go let your iPod know how much it means to you. [New Launches]
