Description:
Zig-Zag's new turntable isn't made of paper and you shouldn't try to smoke
it, but it's here in case you forgot about Dre

FULL STORY ======================================================================A suitcase-style turntable with speakers and Zig-Zag branding USB in plus Bluetooth, RCA and headphone outs $99 (around 79 or AU$159, if you can find one)

There's a long tradition of brands doing weird things for publicity, and for every Elon Musk stunt that makes you want to push every Tesla into a lake there's a brand that gets it right. And I think Zig-Zag is in the latter category, because it's come up with a rather inspired idea.

If you're not familiar with Zig-Zag, it's a very famous brand of rolling papers so famous that their product inspired the cover of Dr Dre's 1992 album, The Chronic . And to remind you of that fact (and of course to ensure that you don't forget about Dre), the company has decided to make an ahem smokin' record player just in time for the Grammys (Image credit: Zig-Zag)
The Zig-Zag Record Player: key features

The Zig-Zag Record Player is, as you'd expect, a record player with Zig-Zag branding. It's a suitcase design with the classic logo on top, and it has built-in stereo speakers so you can have music wherever you go. In addition
to the turntable there's also a USB port so you can also play digital files without lugging all your vinyl around.

It's a three-speed belt-driven turntable ideal for all your, er, rap 78s
and it has RCA outputs and a headphone jack too. There's Bluetooth streaming to headphones or powered speakers, and there's even a handle so you can carry it around.

According to Chisto.com , "Nothing beats the sound of spinning a vinyl whilst youre chilling at dwelling. If youre restricted on house however maxing out
on chill vibes (particularly throughout Dry January), then you definitely
want this... Its the last word improve out of your standard transportable speaker that units the temper in any room with out the cumbersome setup of your typical document participant." Now, I don't know what many of those
words mean, in that order, but I think they liked it

The Zig-Zag Record Player is available now for $99, which is around 79 or AU$159, if you can find it. You might also like The best turntables you can buy 3 great turntables for vinyl beginners Korg's new portable turntables
