- How great you are: 90 years have passed since the birth of Elvis Aaron Presley
- Pro-Ject’s Elvis-inspired T2 turntable features dimmable LED lighting
- We Are Rewind’s Cassette Player Proves Elvis Is for Everyone
An American trilogy? Not quite, but it’s a nice duo made up of two respected names in analog audio – and I could have Such a night with either of these in honor of what would be Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday, I’d probably end up singing my own rendition of Live Las Vegas to my long-suffering neighbors.
I promise my love from the start, Audio-Technica’s limited edition design is one I can’t help but fall in love with. It’s based on the turntable specialist’s famous T2 record player, but features a CNC-machined base with built-in dimmable LED lighting to create the iconic “ELVIS” logo, a panel made from light bulbs featured in the singer’s live performance. If I can dream during the ’68 Special return.
Beneath its shiny exterior sits a 9-inch precision aluminum tonearm, adjustable spring-loaded anti-skate system, and a factory-installed Sumiko Rainier cartridge. There is also a 10mm, 1.7kg glass platen and if you have older presses, It’s okay now mom, as you do – because AT’s electronically regulated motor should allow simple switching between 33 and 45 rpm.
The price? Of course: it’s available now, priced at £1,199 / €1,399, which would make it around $1,590, or AU$2,465, when sold.
I can’t afford it right now, but until I can, this will be it Always on my mind…
A little less conversation? You need an Elvis Walkman cassette player
I’ve spent a lot of time with FiiO’s modern answer to the Sony Walkman and I have to say: Don’t be cruel before trying the We Are Rewind version – I didn’t Worry whether with the hot magnetic hiss of the cassette to get me Everything shook in music.
Plus, we loved the look of the WE-001 cassette player from We Are Rewind earlier in the year, and that’s what the new limited edition WE ARE REWIND x Elvis Presley Box Set is built on.
Why do I call it a “box set”? GOOD, I was lucky and learned that only 1,957 units were released worldwide (a tribute to the original release year of Elvis’ Christmas Album), and your purchase includes the specially designed portable cassette player more an exclusive reissue of Elvis’ Christmas Album on cassette.
And just like Elvis knew we couldn’t go on together Suspicious spiritsWe Are Rewind’s engineers knew they’d have to integrate new technology into a Walkman to make it viable in 2025 – which is why you’ll find a rechargeable battery that can last up to 12 hours under the hood, as well as Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity for wireless listening via headphones, earphones, speakers and soundbars.
I have the impression that this charming little player has a little Stuck on you? Well, it’s available exclusively online, with global pre-orders opening today (October 15, 2025) and it’ll cost you $199 / €179, which is around £150 or AU$309, or thereabouts.
Again, only 1,957 are being made, so if you want yours It’s now or never – and really, I doubt anyone who orders it will write it to them Return to sender on the box…
