Audio-Technica released a gold turntable in US stores

Audio-Technica is releasing a limited edition gold turntable, the AT-LP60XBT-GB, exclusively for Record Store Day.

The gold turntable features the same built-in phono stage and Bluetooth connectivity as the original. The price is set at approximately $199, which is cheaper than the usual retail price of the standard model. The company declined to disclose the number of units available. The release aims to encourage support for independent record stores. Audio-Technica's Vice President highlighted the importance of these stores in preserving vinyl culture.
