Like so many other things in these days of Covid-19 Showstoppers has gone virtual. Even though it was on Zoom, I did find some interesting new gadgets. Let’s take a look.

You probably haven’t bought a CD lately. How about a record? Have you bought any vinyl lately?

Well, it seems lots of people are back buying vinyl records, so I guess it’s no surprise Victrola brand is producing new model record players. It’s old technology nicely updated with new features. The Eastwood Hybrid Turntable offer built-in stereo speakers and Bluetooth streaming. So it’s an all-in-one solution for vinyl lovers that is both attractive in the home and delivers high quality sound. (This was a virtual event, so we couldn’t hear the sound, but the Don, the spokesperson for Victrola said the custom-tuned stereo speakers were from Klipish which is famous for great speakers. And thanks to Victrola’s partnership with Audio Technica The Eastwood has a custom made AT-3600LA moving magnetic cartridge. Play music through the built in speakers or through any external Bluetooth speaker or stream music from a smart device like a phone or tablet. But wait, there’s more! This system features a headphone jack and an RCA Output Jack to connect to other speakers system, sound bars, etc. The Eastwood’s sleek bamboo and metalized finishes give it a look that makes you think it would retails for far more than $99.99 at Walmart.
