The Audio-Technica Hotaru is a limited-edition turntable
Magnetically suspended floating platter that lights up
$9,999 (about £7,582 / AU$15,762), only 1,000 made
If you loved the idea of Brian Eno’s neon turntable but couldn’t quite stretch to the £20,000 / $20,000 price tag, Audio-Technica has some good news for you. Its magnetically levitating, music-sensing, illuminated Hotaru turntable is half the price.
If you want one you’ll need to be quick: the reservation period runs until 30 May 2025 and there are just 1,000 turntables planned for production. You’ll be expected to pay in August for an October delivery.
If you’d like to see the Hotaru in all its illuminated glory, there’s a fun video on Audio-Technica’s website here.
