Gift Guide 2013: Gadgets

Echo Audio

Nothing sounds as good as vinyl.  Organic, harmonic and really, really real (as Smokey Robinson would say). The Pro-ject Debut carbon is the best turntable under $500. Carbon fiber tonearm, terrific Ortofon 2M red cartridge & perfectly balanced.   The only questions are what color (7 choices) and which album will you play first?
